Um... for a secular society the only questionable things in there would be the:
I am your Lord and God
You shall have no other gods before Me
You shall not make for yourself an idol
You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
Other than that, they seem fine for everyone. Oh, but what about the kids whose parents are real scumbags? They can forget about that one too.

Nobody ever said that the Ten Commandments are immoral...what they said is that they do not belong in government buildings. Church and state is separated for a reason. We don't have a national religion, so Christian symbols and/or literature do not belong in a courthouse, a municipal building, a school, etc. Now, if we could represent all the religions, then sure, go for it...but we aren't going to do that. Maybe we should post the constitution and bill of rights instead.

The Ten Commandments establish a moral code and holds individuals personally responsible to follow this code.
Liberals on the other hand make a conscious effort to shun morals and avoid personal responsibility.
It should therefore come as no surprise that Liberals oppose the Ten Commandments and seek to censor the Commandments and remove them from public life.

There is nothing immoral about the Ten Commandments. The difficulty comes if you insist that everyone else abide by them OR ELSE...legislating morality never works in the long run. Believe what you wish to believe and follow your own code of behavior. Do not insist that everyone do as you do.

The Ten commandments have nothing to do with politics or liberals. Remember the separation of church and state?

Unlike the bible, vedas, quran or any other religious book, the Ten Commandments are the religious laws of mankind, like the man-made laws of society. Those who oppose the display of the commandments are those who do not wish reminders of moral behavior, similar to the man-made laws which are only in books and are not displayed. They only obey to what's convenient.

I'm sure that you are talking about the left wing of the liberalcrat party. They are not complaining, they just do not understand them because they are not politically correct AND THEY MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS for the democrats.

There is something immoral about the bible in general, just as with any document that causes people to kill one another and to oppress those who do not believe as they do. Organized religions are immoral as they force people to disregard their own thoughts and beliefs and to demonstrate blind faith to dogmatic ideologies. Spirituality is a personal matter and should not be dictated by anyone.

Immoral no! It's just this little thing called separation of church and state. Or would you mind if we put the Vedas or the Quran in front of our government buildings?

There is NOTHING imoral about the 10 commandments, and a ahck of a lot more people would to better by reading them and following them. The anti-religious zealots are just hell bent on the removal of anything and everything religious in this country. Don't mnetion that we all have a constitutional right to practice and/or celebrate our religion anywhere and at any time. They don't care about that, all they care about is them and they manage to violate our constitutional rights and we stand for it, why? For all the uneducated brainwashed, there is no such thing as a Seperation Clause, so stop violating others rights!
