ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' There are no laws on the books that would enforce or require this. Try this in another society though and you'll lose your life.

Sure, only in states with governments who's completely based on religion (i.e. Iran). But you certainly wouldn't lose your head if you worship God/Allah/God/Kami in Japan. The whole point of founding of US was religious tolerance and freedom. Using this clase in commandment will completely negate that.

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' There are no laws on the books that would enforce or require this outside of the FCC but I don't want my kids running around saying "God D*mn" any way so I'm glad the FCC is there for this.

I have problem with your logic. The reason why FCC regulates "God Damn" is because it has explicit meaning. NOT because it is used in "Lord's name in vain". I don't see FCC ruling "Alah Damn" or "Holy Buddha" as being explicit.


FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' There are blue laws that require some industries to be closed on Sundays. I don't agree with that but if I want to have booze on Sunday, I buy it on Saturday. Learn to manage your time.

I don't have problem with this law in practice, as you can buy booze ahead of time for planned party. But what if you wanted booze on Sunday and you had that thought on Sunday morning? Restricting my freedom to buy something legal just because of some religion's agenda/rule is pure BS.


The reason why you don't see a problem with 10 commandments as basis for our law is because you're a Christian. However our law governs people who are NOT Christians. Therefore, our laws should be fair and acceptable for ALL, not just Christians.

I find it odd and humorous that the anti-christian people love to say they hate that Christians try to "force" their beliefs while they have no problem with the other religions and ideologies sliding in and forcing theirs. What about being forced to accept that Homosexuality is something that is to be embraced? What about being forced to accept that a 16 year old having sex with multiple other kids is OK? Your only problems are with Christianity?
When will you stop with the generalizations and inaccurate allegations?

It's only the Fund-A-Mental "Christians" that are being criticized. And, btw, what other type of religious zealot is trying to push their religion into our schools, our laws, etc.? Hmmm?

Careful, you might lead some to think "Kami" is a higher power like God/Allah/God/Yahweh/etc.

Hmm, learn some tact.

That's right, buddy! Religion isn't 100% wrong, there are definitely nuggets of truth and wisdom to be found in each. Granted, none of them has gotten it 100% right, but then, who among us has?

Jason
The problem is so many of the spiritual believers do feel their faith is 100% right so all others must be wrong. They are so blindly loyal to their beliefs and the way they interpret them that they are unwilling consider the possibility they might be wrong.
