The Ten Commandments In Courthouses

Over the past several decades there have been a number of court cases involving efforts to remove the Ten Commandments from courthouses throughout the nation.

These cases are always a bit perplexing to me because the Ten Commandments are the bedrock of our entire legal system.  That being the case, why object to displaying them in the Courthouse?

Today, I received the answer from a friend (himself being a retired lawyer)

“Why can’t we display the Ten Commandments in our Courthouses?

Three of the commandments—

“THOU SHALL NOT STEAL"
“THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY”
“THOU SHALL NOT LIE”
Create a hostile working environment for the
LAWYERS,
JUDGES,
and
POLICIANS that work there.”

Now, it all makes perfect sense.

What about the 1st Amendment that protects the government from religion?

I know that you are victim of a liberal education system, but--

The 1st Amendment was written to guarantee protection of religion from government and not to protect government religion.

As a state prosecutor, I can attest to the sentiment expressed in this blog.

My brother, a corporate lawyer, forwarded your address to me.

Keep up the good work.
