They have no idea what they are doing. Their grandkids will suffer.

Rome is dead, and now at long last it’s religion is following her down. Bon voyage, fuckface!

hehEEEEEEEEEEEEE – I really love the way you are clueless enough to still be using “CHECKMATE”, like it means anything other than that you play a pointless and weak game against those who refuse to play games at all with the reality and the future of life on this earth!

When you can’t argue with the facts, you resort to insult – how very typical! Only Christians and children in their school yards behave this way. On the existence of these groups, it’s the latter which is unnecessary and inappropriate in society.

American law is not based on the 1st Commandment, as this is specifically prohibited by the US Constitution. Likewise, the laws of this country make adherence to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 10th any of their business, nor should it, for this would make my country a theocracy! The 7th and the 9th have only limited legal application in our legal system, and this leaves only two of your 10 Commandments with full legal application in American law, which is so only because there have never been any civil societies throughout human history with laws which run counter to them (6 and 8)! Hate to break it to you, but there’s really nothing special about the idea that law should not tolerate theft or murder, and it’s probably a good idea for everyone to honor their parents and not cheat on their spouses!

The US Constitution was about church/state separation at the 1st Amendment. For those who haven’t read it,

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), the U.S. Supreme Court incorporated the Establishment Clause (i.e., made it apply against the states). In the majority decision, Justice Hugo Black wrote:

The “establishment of religion” clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion to another . . . in the words of Jefferson, the [First Amendment] clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect ‘a wall of separation between church and State’ . . . That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach.
Therefore, no expression of religious faith on religiously-neutral government property is any less than a brazen breach of Constitutional law.
