ArchivedHoly Crusades...Hey OMW! I agree - I'm not saying no good came out of it. Pornography already has warning and there are already ratings for things like movies so that parents who take an active interest are able to easilly. Ahh, tell you what - you display your 10 Commandments right next to the Wiccan Rede - I'll stop complaining about them being in the courthouses. My personal problem with the 10 Commandments being posted is that it implies that it gives Governmental preference to Christianity. For those that are not Christian it's an insult. It basically says, "We know you have to enter this Government institution. Make sure you do so knowing that if you're not Christian it will be held against you." That's the whole point to the "separation of church and state", and I do (most certainly) agree with it. If the Christians were willing to give equal time to other religious groups (Muslims, Mormons, Pagans, Buddhists, Satanists, Athiests) in the same setting then there probably wouldn't be nearly as many people finding anything wrong with it Not only that - placing the 10 Commandments in the courthouses would require (once again) a change of laws - once again, for the Christians (nobody else, just the Christians). Not a law change for everyone that's not Christian. By putting the 10 Commandments in a government building you are asking for preferential treatment which no other religious group will recieve. Doesn't sound to "equal" to me... |
