How liberals justify their immorality

[Airstrip One]

In Stone v. Graham.

http://www.oyez.org/cases/1980-1989/1980/1980_80_321

" The Court found that the requirement that the Ten Commandments be posted "had no secular legislative purpose" and was "plainly religious in nature." The Court noted that the Commandments did not confine themselves to arguably secular matters (such as murder, stealing, etc.), but rather concerned matters such as the worship of God and the observance of the Sabbath Day."

Well, I guess the goverment should stop closing offices on the Sabbath, and we should revoke Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter as national holidays, while elevating May Day and the birthdays of Marx and Lenin.

If that is what you want to see done, feel free to lobby for it.

I simply think that having rules for a particular religion are not appropriate gov't decorations, especially when all other religions are excluded from display and the rules themselves outlaw all other religions.

This was never an issue before the New Left went off the deep-end toward atheism. Why is that?

I am not an atheist, but I believe the gov't should be secular.

My faith does not depend on governmental support.

And yet we somehow managed to avoid establishing a state church from 1791-1970. Hmm...

For the most part but not completely. There were states requiring religious tests. There were Blue Laws requiring that businesses close on the Sabbath. And few other religions were free from persecutions or biases.

No one dared to challenge it at one time because of social stigma, but with more education, things are changing r the better

Barely, just try to elect a Muslim, Atheist or Pagan for President.

Either support the establishment of state religion or you are a Marxist? More knee jerk nonsense.

Maybe you guys can revert to outlawing the teaching of evolution? That would not stop you from practicing your faith which is the only state action that STY seems to think would violate the constitution. Meanwhile, if they breath on his guns they have infringed on his rights.

Because there was resistance.

interesting. i'm wondering if, based on the wording of the opinion, that if there were no requirement to have the ten commandments displayed there, would it have survived......

 

[wanderingbear]

First commandment and First amendment are mutually exclusive.

No their not. Ones religious one is secular.

You guys don't even believe in evolution

I suppose that is possible. But the circuit court was pretty clear about Judge Roy Moore and his monument in the lobby of the Alabama Supreme Courthouse.

So Obama is a muslim, an atheist and a pagan? I guess you can call him anything if you don't have to be factual or provide any proof.

WB, why do you even bother debating with this clown? He's not interested in debate. He's just a small scared bigot who's afraid of anything or anyone who isn't just exactly like him.
