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.
