10 Commandments - The Greatest Hits Edition? Or a 'Split' Decision...
Without the first four, there’s no reason to keep the other six.
Yep! I’m sure G-d would be in favor of this compromise, after all he is known for compromising on HIS laws ...
Judicial decrees are becoming sillier by the day.
Why not just teach the last 15 letters of the alphabet?
That's the secular argument for leaving them in and whole, in my humble opinion.

“Christian” churches all over the country pick and choose which commandments they want to preach. Sad.
It's got some really harsh stuff in it.

Without the Lawgiver, there are no laws.
We are a nation under God, therefore, saying “God” or “Lord” does not establish or endorse any particular religion, but it is all about Absolute Truth—One standard of Right and Wrong. It is God’s (of the Bible) standards and government has no power to censor religious speech-—particularly the Founding Principles embedded into our Judicial system. They need to uphold the belief in God—for that is where our Natural Rights come from as stated in our Founding Documents.
Atheist should not be allowed to become judges or sit on juries or be in the legislature or be President...they didn’t used to allow it when we were a Constitutional Republic. The ideology of Atheists/Communists/Satanists are incompatible with our Judicial system of Objective Truth. You are basically required to take an oath to God since He is the most important part of the Constitution, which demands a belief in God. Without God—there can be no Natural Rights from the Creator.
Geez, we've already cut them down from 15.
I would like the judge to explain which religion are the Commandments a part of? Seems to me, there are a few.
If they use the Catholic and Lutheran counting of the commandments (which is said to go back to St. Augustine) they keep 7 and skip the first 3.
How totally absurd is this???? cutting out some of the Commandments would take out the RELIGIOUS OVERTONES of the 10 Commandments?????? I think I’ve heard it all now!
Of what value would displaying the "6 Federally Approved Commandments" be?
Suuurrreeee, and while we’re at it, teach the kids that the Moon is made of green cheese, the Easter Bunny was in Hawaii for vacation, and...what else nonsense they can come up with.
God GOD! Has everyone been taking crazy pills?
In much the same way, symbols have been bastardized by liberal interest groups, the state/fed just moves in an emotional wind. Instead, the state should neither recognize, endorse, favor or forbid any free exercise of religious expression that does not infringe on the rights of others to pursue life, liberty and happiness.
NOTE: ...that does not infringe on the rights of others.
I personally do not endorse the interpretation of Jefferson's original letter suggesting there is a clear separation of church and state. The constitution itself is more clear in that congress shall pass no laws abridging the right.... Neither the Constitution nor Thomas Jefferson ever suggested the banning of religious symbols to protect one group of citizenry's belief over another’s.
This post is entirely from a historical point of view and does not represent its author's religious opinion of the 10 Commandments.
Just throw out the 10 Commandments and start using the Georgia Guidestones openly. After all, the demons in the country are brazenly and actively supporting depopulation, among other key elements of those Satanic stones.
The WRATH of God, cometh soon.
Jesus cut the commandments down to two. (Matt. 22:37-40) Wonder if the judge would go with that solution?
I guess the commandments have joined the U.S Constitution on the liberal list of “living documents.”
Well, anyway, spoken like a true Roman judge! "Quis est veritas?"
"'What is the truth?' said jesting Pilate,
And would not stay for an answer." -- Browning
And then there was this guy, from the Acts:
"Et nihil erat curae Gallioni." (Jews complaining about Christians and demanding the right to try them and stone them under Jewish ecclesiastical law.)
"And it was of no concern to Gallio."
