That is, the laws that don't apply to God.
Would this be acceptable to my fellow Christians?
NOTE: Our forefathers had a statue of Moses carved on the Library of Congress, but he is standing so we can only see Commandments 6-10.

How about "Thou shalt not steal" in front of Congress?

NO it wouldnt, who cares about the forefathers and what they believed in I dont care if they were really religious or not. Lets keep religion and politics apart. This country needs to maintain freedom of religion and church and state apart. By putting the commandments on a court house we are insinuating that we are favoring a certain religion. Also the camandments arent even LAWS!!!! Why put them there, Hey I know maybe we could make rest on saturday a law and having affairs against the law. How about honoring your parents thats sounds like a good law.
All jokes aside though, there is no reason to have these commandments on the courthouse because they are not laws, and we need to keep religion and politics apart. It causes allot of unnecessary problems like giving gays the right to marry. Thats only an issue because we are mixing religion and politics

The 10 commandments are needed not just a few of them. Without the 10 commandments the Nation that we live in is going straight to hell in a hand basket. And without the 10 commandments as our guidelines we are a nation of reprobates. Totally turning our backs on what God has designed for our nation.

I wouldn't mind that. But Moses is carved there with many other historical, mythological, and religiousfigures. I'm the minority in race, religion, and ethnicity. I'd rather have something that represents (or even tries to) everyone, and not alienates the minority.
Either that or represent no one. Don't post anything at all, it's simpler that way (and doesn't take up as much wall space).

How about no religious icons in our courthouses?
Washington, D.C. has all kinds of statues. There is no special significance between any of them and our legal or political system.
That's similar to claiming a library is promoting the messages within the books on its shelves.

it might annoy me. which would be like putting the ten commandments in front of the food market. What would the element be? the ten C's basically prepare to Christians; the regulation applies to anybody interior the u . s ..

I think even if they were rewritten or only listed commandments 6 -10 the ACLU would still raise hell and sue the government!

Now you know people on either side of the argument will still manage to take issue with that... lol
Really, in my opinion...are words posted someplace really that magical? I mean really...why is it even needed publicly? Whether someone is religious or not I think most of us pretty much live by all or most of it anyhow. And those that won't are not going to just because they see the words posted someplace...so just deal with them accordingly.

How about just Exodus 22:18 in front of the courthouse? We do not have enough judges sen tensing witches to death. We need to keep this Biblical admonition ever in the forefront of every judges' mind and every hunters heart. Kill, Kill, Kill.
