Ten Commandments

The idea that the supreme court of the United Stated ban the ten commandments from our nations courtrooms is not suprising. The vote passed in a split decision of 5 to 4, with Sandra Day passing the deciding vote.

"When the government acts with the ostensible and predominant purpose of advancing religion, it violates that central Establishment clause value of official religious neutrality," was a statement from one of the opposing judges.

In a rebuttle to that idea Justice Scalia argued that the Commandments were legitimate tribute to the nations religious and legal history.

What is happening here? Why have people, even our countries leadership gone so overboard to prevent the recognition of the beliefs that have made this country what it is today? Because of the foundation of our Constitution, I'm not against people practicing what they believe. I am a Christian, and because I believe in the Bible and the plan of salvation I would hope to have everyone feel that way. But I know that is not so. But to take away what has brought us this far, is what I believe will be the demise of our country and it's morals. What else keeps people in check? Is it just a natural phenomenon? No. It is the natural will of man to not be tempered. It is our love for Christ and each other and the sacrifice that was made that keeps us all together. It's the faith of our forefathers and the faith that this country has shared that had made us at one time, the greatest nation on earth in a way we could be proud of.
