The Ten Commandments clearly come out of the Judeo-Christian religious tradition. But, the persons who are displaying a lack of respect for religion are those who want to remove all traces of it from our culture.
What’s wrong with learning that it is wrong to kill someone’s father, or to commit adultery with another man’s wife, et cetera? Those who feel ostracized from society because they dislike such statutes are the same people who belong behind bars. Society cannot survive without common respect for the life and property of others.
There are many of us who truly honor and serve the God of the Bible. He created the heavens and the earth.
These arguments intended to justify an objection to using anything from the Bible, are patently false and simply invented to remove God from our culture. It is my hope that our city fathers will have the “guts” to stand against such frivolous suits.
