The Ten Commandments, “Christian”? Weren’t they handed down by God... to a Jew.

How does one boycott something that you've never bought?

Isn’t the NYTimes in bankruptcy yet?

Constitutional amendment:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;....”

Sounds like government is breaking the law everytime they get involved with religious articles and speech. This should be NO concern of the government. The amendment was to to government out of religion not religion out of government!!!

[Soothesayer]

Doesn’t the prohibition of ALL religious expression violate the first amendment?

That’s basically what political correctness is doing.

Meh. So let the Summum guys put up their whatchamacallit. Problem solved.

[Paleo Conservative]

In reality, the Establishment Clause was intended to prohibit a state church, like the Church of England. If The Founders thought giving one religion preference was odious, why was Congress’s first official act to hire a Christian chaplain? And why did the first Congress appropriate sums of money for Christian missionaries to the Indian tribes?

It was even more restricted than that. It was only meant to apply to the federal government. It was up to the individual states to decide whether or not to have an official state religion. It was the 14th amendement that gave to the federal courts a green light to make just about every civil rights issue a federal issue.

Did the NYet Times also have an idiotorial against the public funding of religious iconic art like a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine or a portrait of the Madonna and Child made of elephant dung?

An editorial in today’s paper notes that the Supreme Court is hearing arguments involving Pleasant Grove City, Utah, which has a Ten Commandments monument in a public park but refuses to allow a cult called Summum to erect its own memorial.

Here's a little background: Summum: a glimpse inside

[Auntie Dem]

The city of Pleasant Grove should tell the SCOTUS that they will give every group that can demonstrate their ideas are at least 4,000 years old the same consideration it gave to the 10 Commandments, or the 10 Suggestions as the NYT calls them.

Summum can come back in 3,990 years and then we’ll talk.

[Zionist Conspirator]

What everyone seems to miss in all these "First Amendment" arguments is that only Congress can violate the First Amendment. No one else can.

Um . . . why do people keep insisting that the Ten Commandments are chr*stian???
