Is the real reason for NOT posting the 10 Commandments at our court house's because?

Thou shalt Not Lie
Thou shalt Not Steal
Thou shalt Not Commit Adultery

Would make a hostile work environment for Lawyers, Judges and Politicians?

Haha that actually is pretty funny, and thats a great lawyer joke. Well it is kinda people making a bigger deal than necessaryabout stuff like posting the 10 commandments, i mean if you don't like it, don't look at it.

The courts make you perjure yourself every time you testify. You swear to tell the whole truth, but they NEVER want to hear the whole truth. In fact, most courts would hold you in contempt if you try to tell the whole truth. All they want to hear is the shortest answer that satisfies the lawyers question.

But that's never the whole truth.

Its called the separation between church and state. The 10 Commandments are generally a Christian thing because there are actually 613 commandments. They are known as Mitzvot. Do you want to publish all 613 on the walls? It might get a little crowded.


mimi
lol I too believe that is the REAL reason it was taken out of federal building.These people didn't want to see it fly into their faces everyday.But then again most of those people are heartless.So it must be that they want to hurt us that believe in those commandments.....

No, the reason is separation of church and state. Is that reason not good enough for you?


Dana C
"As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of mussel men; and as the said states never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation,it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between two
countries."

You got that right, those reasons would justify the removal of it from some churches as well.


evilattorney
No, it's because of what certain people would do if we tried to put up verses of the Koran.

. . . and that's why it's unconstitutional.

i don't really see a problem. those things you list have come to be understood as a general guideline. not even really meant to apply to everyone.


tiny_lil_hottie
well its suppose to be separation of church and state in order to keep everything fair. but the whole swear to tell the whole truth on a bible sort of proves that it isn't. as for adultery...they used to punish that by legal means, now so much of it is going on that they can't keep up and stopped trying. too bad cause if a man knew he could go to jail for sleeping around..he might just be faithful to his wife and vice versa


Kanada
You can't post the Ten Commandments in a courthouse because it promotes one religion, Christianity, over all others. It was a famous court case, McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky.


kteventual
Separation of church and state


Janetello
No.


The_Dark_Lord
well the 10 commandments shouldnt be followed. maybe not everybody is religious. i am a theistic satanist and i think it was written by christians or what not so thats kinda offensice to me.
