U.S. Supreme court deals major blow to the ten commandments

[OffensivelyOpenMinded]

Oh, there certainly is, but not as expressed by the Left. The intent was to prevent the founding or recognition of a state religion.

Right...so displays of religious imagery on and in public lands would be....state endorsement of religion.

There was never an intent to remove religion from the public square, nor was there any concerted attack on public expression prior to the 1950s, long after the Constitution became law.

Public expression, how? What do you mean? You mean no more prayer meetings in Public places? Good call because these were the kinds of prayer meetings that were happening:

The destruction of religion is a hallmark of totalitarianism. In America, it's easy enough to follow that sentiment to find the source.

Religion is totalitarianism...it's the belief of a higher authority. That is totalitarianism, pal. Sorry to burst your bubble.

only a complete moron would consider that a 'prayer meeting',, or having anything to do with religion

The KKK is a christian organization.....just ask them.

And Trump and Obama say they are Christian, just ask them.

Hell, even Hitler said he was a Christian.

Actually, the best info says otherwise, as far as Hitler is concerned:
"
Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs have been a matter of debate; the wide consensus of historians consider him to have been irreligious and anti-Christian. In light of evidence such as his vocal rejection of the tenets of Christianity as a teenager,[1] numerous private statements to confidants denouncing Christianity as a harmful superstition, and his strenuous efforts to reduce the influence and independence of Christianity in Germany after he came to power, Hitler's major academic biographers conclude that he was irreligious and an opponent of Christianity."

Says who? Show in the Constitution where the ten commandments aren't supposed to be on public land?

First Amendment, Barbie. Have one of the grown ups explain what the big words mean.

Oh, they have. Several times. But you children insist on your misinterpretation of Jefferson's response to some Baptists, and got a court to give it - quite illegally - Constitutional authority.

So....you don't believe there's a separation of church and state?

Oh, there certainly is, but not as expressed by the Left. The intent was to prevent the founding or recognition of a state religion.

How sad that your religion is destroyed if there are not monuments to it paid for them with our tax dollars. What a weak god.

Even worse. The display of the ten commandments breaks commandment 2

Wait...."laws based on the commandments against murder, theft, and bearing false witness"? You mean, until Moses, no civilization had laws against murder, theft, and bearing false witness?

These guys are shocked to find out that Aesop wrote moral fables 300 years before Jesus was even born.

Dufus pretend theist believes Jesus wrote the 10 Commandments.

He didn't?

[BasicHumanUnit]

Unfortunately, we are all complicit in allowing the Left and the evil to undermine and destroy the nation.
Every immoral gesture we allow to go past due to political correctness or fear is helping them.
They have a plan, they have a path and they are not going to stop unless they are stopped.

All that is required for EVIL men to prevail is for GOOD men to do nothing.

This is pretty much how Rome fell. Too many do NOTHING. Same in Venezuela. Until it's too late.
People today are collectively too afraid of the personal consequences of their own sacrifices rather than the long term consequences of accepting evil.

Such a diabolically masterful plan for the conquest of good men wouldn't you agree?

It's obvious the founding fathers based the foundation of this country with a belief in God. The first amendment states that they can't force you or prevent you from following a religion. That's it. Doesn't say anything about the country not being founded on a belief in God though.

The pledge of allegiance and our currency all reference God. Should those be regarded as unconstitutional as well?

No....not true at all. Our Founding Fathers turned away from the European concept of Divine Right and the State dictating what religion you had to follow. Remember, the English Monarch was ALSO head of the church. Our Founding Fathers based the foundation of this country on Greek (Pagan) Democracy, Roman (Pagan) Republican government, and the Enlightenment ideas of people like John Locke and Montesqueue.

You don't seem to understand the difference between simply believing in God and forcing people to hold a certain religion or preventing people from practising a certain religion. The Founding Fathers didn't want to incorporate a specific religion into government...that does not mean they didn't believe in God nor does it mean that they didn't use God or their beliefs in God when founding this country.

God is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, In just about every state's Constitution, on every piece of United States currency, in the pledge of allegiance, in just about every major speech throughout the history of the US, including speeches and memoirs from the Founding Fathers themselves. To deny that the Founding Fathers didn't base this country on a belief in God is nonsense. There's a HUGE difference between them basing this country on a belief in God vs. them not forcing it or preventing it through various religions, through the first amendment.

Where is your god mentioned in the Declaration of Independence?

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,"

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

From what you linked:

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" is an abbreviated form of one of the Ten Commandments

Apparently, you deny God, who is the reason America is here.

There's plenty of nations that deny God. The US is not one of them.

those sculptures of the Commandments are what the 2nd commandment was referring to?

I thought all this time it was in reference to graven images of God.

Sure am glad we have a non believer telling us what they mean.

 

[Marion Morrison]

It's trivial to do so, and it's already been done.

"no law respecting an establishment of religion"

"Respecting" in that context means "in regards to". No part of any government in the USA can make any sort of laws that are pro- or anti- any religion. They have to stay neutral on the subject. Posting the 10 commandments is definitely not being neutral.

Basic English. If conservatives would only learn it, along with basic logic and basic morality, they wouldn't constantly fail so hard with their whiny Constitutional, historical and moral revisionism. The funniest part is how they get so upset when you point out their revisionism.
