Most keep Rome's sabbath and deny God's sabbath. Most agree with war even though it kills lots of people and is usually not even self defense and they support the death penalty in this country even though many people in our prisons are convicted of crimes that they didn't commit. Most have plenty of graven images both of things on the earth and things imagined to be of heaven. Too many don't love their neighbor as themselves. The prosperity gospel actually teaches covetousness. According to Jesus teachings on divorce, many commit adultery. Most support the government even though the government acknowledges that it bares false witness. George Bush planned on lying so much that he created the Department of Misinformation and most still supported him and his claim to be a Christian.
All things considered, shouldn't Christians be arguing to remove the 10 commandments from public places since they expose the hypocrisy of many of america's Christians?

The Ten commandments should not be posted in any government place - if they want it posted somewhere, the church would be the place that is appropriate
government and religion should be always separate
besides, there's only one real rule to live by, and that is the golden rule....maybe that one should be posted everywhere, since so many people seem to forget it

Most of your statement is incorrect, ie the part that many in prisons are innocent, no they arn't. And President Bush never created the Department of Misinformation.
Why do Christian faithed people want the 10 commandments posted in public places, is to remind those who are doing bad what a Christian God really wants. Because some feel there should not be the separation of Church and State.

The Ten Commandments would be displayed for other people. The Christians wanting to invade the government with religious paraphernalia believe themselves to be above reproach, assured a place in Heaven, and fighting to change the nasty habits of the Sinful Others.
Currently, that fight includes cutting off help for the poor, causing the salaries of the former middle class to be lowered to the poverty level, chastising Gays, and cheering wars with our Muslim brethren.
If some of our leaders had the Ten Commandments tattooed on their behinds, they would still be eager for war.

First, it's not likely that "most" Christians want the 10C on public property, nor do "most" support everything else you are accusing them of. If "most" of them were as you describe, then the US would be in much greater trouble than it already is.
"Most" people are actually quite happy with the seperation between church and state. It's generally only the conservative branches of the Christian faith who insist on trying to get their specific religion endorsements from the law or government.
I think that "most" Christians would argue that they are not perfect, either. I think that at least a few of them would agree that most people disagree on just what constitutes "good Christian" behavior.

Post the statistics on this, please.
What is the percentage of Christians who say they want The 10 Commandments posted in public places while at the same time breaking them?
Please give numbers concerning hypocritical Christians who advocate the posting of these commandments.
Can you prove that those who want these commandments posted are the same ones breaking them? Somehow I doubt that you can support your theory.

I never said I wanted them posted in public places. I think the world is better for ALL. when religion and government are apart. If statistics are correct. Christianity will be the minority in twenty to thirty years..and Muslims will me the majority..I want all rights protected when I am the minority.

Define "so many".
True christians exist but so do professed christians, big difference.
The 10 commandments tho a good guideline is for the Old testament, but there are more complex problems to deal with, and therefore they are no longer the only "commandments" to live by.
The thing to remember is that there are wolves in sheeps clothing everywhere, and to study for yourself, pray to god and ask for his holy spirit to guide you in your studies, and don't get brainwashed, or follow mindless tradition, follow the truth and to a certain extent your heart with his guidance.

Nobody is perfect. All have fallen short of the Glory of God
( Rom. 3:23 ). Every one has broken the Ten Commandments. The Bible says that if you have broken one, you have broken all. Just because we have broken them doesn't mean we should not be reminded of what they are.

The word "most" I do not agree with.
I do not believe in any of the things you say I believe in. The closest one is I do believe in war only in the case of defense of ourself and in defense of another country like Kuwait. one war that I feel was just was against Hitler and Japan. Also the first Persian Gulf war was done properly too. As far as the 10 commandments it does not matter to me if posted or not as long as I am free to practice and praise God privately.

The 10 commandants are of God's word and in public places can remind us of the way we should live even if most don't.
We are all sinners, no one is perfect, but it is a great reminder and a great symbol to represent God's word.====
