Under the Heading: "How did we get here", we find: The Oklahoma Supreme Court evicts 10 Commandments

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Ridiculous. The Ten Commandments is in the US Supreme Court building, and Moses is on the Capitol building.

Indeed, the 10 Commandments are on a frieze on the US Supreme Court building. They are one of 18 portrayals of famous law givers. However, that is different from a single 10 Commandment display on a state capital.

And do you really want to open the door for all religions (including Satanists) to be able to add displays to capital grounds?

Are satanist precepts a foundation for Oklahoma law?

Were the 10 Commandments?

How many of the commandments were used to create laws in OK?

They are a historical basis.

Which ones?

Here is the list:
"The 10 Commandments List, Short Form

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet"

Now of the 10, only 2 are hard laws. Bearing false witness against your neighbor is against the law in certain circumstances, but not always. Committing adultery can be found in some places, but it is not really prosecuted.

And the first 4 are blatant violations of the separation of church and state.

Since murder and stealing have been against the law in virtually every system of laws ever written, including the Code of Hammurabi, which predates the 10 Commandments, you cannot claim these were either originated by or only in the 10 commandments.

They are a historical basis from which US law emanated. Exactly the same as how the law applies Latin and Greek terms. It's a historical thing, not a religious issue. But lefties like to censor history instead of heeding it.

So what about all the other historical items that created our laws? Surely murder and stealing aren't the whole enchilada.

Why was there no other display on the capital grounds?

I'm not that up on OK history so you need to look that up.

The pic in the article only showed the one monument. And apparently they had refused to allow displays by "...Nevada Hindu leader, animal rights advocates, the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and a group pushing for a Satan statue.".

This isn't a Christian nation. Sorry.

I'm confident that OK law did not evolve from the precepts of any of the alternatives listed.

If it was solely about the evolution of law, you might have a point.

That is a legit response.
