[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 7799, member: 217"] [b]Re: The Texas State Capitol's Ten Commandments at the Supreme Court[/b] Nice response Ravi, but to say the 10 Commandments are irrelevent to America is pretty foolish. Try to pass that by Justice O' Conner. America, according to tradition and even the judges today, still believe that their authority is derived from God. The Commandments are a historical record of the first laws passed by God's followers (whether God be Allah or not, thats up to you). Many Americans, and by tradition the Court has always believed such a thing. The Court also holds a traditional mandatory prayer before each of their hearings, should this be removed too? The Mayflower Compact is also up for display in many courtrooms, that should be removed? So is the DOI. The Mayflower Compact has nothing to do with anything in our current Judicial system, so let's take that down? How about many other displays that are in writing... Obviously any document or anything on display in a court room can be seen as irrelevent. This in fact, destroys your next arguement when you claim that it is against the 1st amendment, or the "Separation of Church and State". The State does NOT have to be hostile towards religion, and IT can decide to treat funds to all religions equally, and display religious material on government grounds as LONG as it does NOT rule by that material. So, if the Commandments are "irrelevent" there not ruling by the Commandments either way, so therefore its ok for the Judges to have it. E.G. "I am sentencing you to 10 days in Jail for violating Commandment #1." You won't see that in a U.S. Court. As far as you saying that most of the founders of America are deists, is simply wrong too. Most were Christians, and some were deists. And as far as "Separation of Church and State"...this is being overused to destroy all religoius symbolism and other religious material from this country. This is what the left wants, secularists, to make us into something like Europe, where even the word of "Christianity" reminds them of the devil and disaster. Declaration of Independence also stated "The Creator" and referenced God. Should that be removed? If something is historical, or has been seen as historical for many Justices and Judges than there is no need to remove it. Also, read this article I sent into my college newspaper : lol, and your question of using the word "liberal" in a bad way... This came about from conservatives as a lash back at Europe, since most liberals or leftists want us to become exactly how Europe is, and we would like to take our own road, no matter how backwards it seems to some of you. I include myself as conservative. And as far as what "Sikh thought" is, I think it's a mix of both conservatism and liberalism. I am liberal at the same time as I am conservative. I am usually liberal when it comes to blind tradition, but if I see meaning behind it, I tend to become conservative.
