Read the constitution lately?

Question

The constitution says. concerninig the seperation of church and state is that the government shall not create a religion the people must follow. What does that have to do with allowing the ten comandments in a courthouse? perhaps some would change if religion was still free. Not isolated. what is truly wrong wwith the ten comandments being in a courthouse?

Answer 1

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

What don't you get? The very first commandment talks about having no other god then me. Put them all over your church. They don't need to be displayed in a court.

Answer 2

The First Amendment to the Constitution says that:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

The courthouse, as the place where the judiciary rules, is the ultimate safeguard of our freedoms and the law. The basic thinking is that if the Ten Commandments were enshrined there, in order to not imply a favoritism on the part of the government towards one establishment of religion or another, we'd have to also enshrine the religious tenets of all other religions known to exist. It's a lot easier to just skip the whole thing in the first place.

If you read up on the Enlightenment and Humanism, you'll get a better feel for how and why our Constitution was written the way it was.

Answer 3

Good question. Here's another one for you: Show me where it says ANYWHERE in the United States Constitution that it's the responsibility and obligation of the US Government to tax it's citizens in order to pay for Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, Welfare, Unemployment, and Universal Health Care coverage (if liberals get their way) ??????

Answer 4

There is nothing wrong with displaying the Ten Commandments in a courthouse. Unfortunately the ACLU found a federal judge somewhere to ban it.

Answer 5

You have to remember that liberals think that they should be allowed to "interpret" the Constitutin to make it say whatever they want it to say. They think it should say that religion is forbidden everywhere except homes & houses of worship.
