PLEASE tell me you aren't calling him out for some spelling/grammar/capitalization error. If you are, I will make your life a living hell.

Taken as concepts and understanding that this original list of ten guidelines has shaped the world as it exists today is compelling.

Compelling in what way? I wouldn't call his interpretations "manufactured" either. He simply asked how most of the commandments were relevant to law. And please, don't bring civil law into this; we all know how fucked up civil law can be and how it's pretty much just what the judge or jurors had for breakfast the morning of the sentencing.

Does anyone know the seven deadly sins? They are quite religious in orgin, and quite fascinating in nature. Do you have a problem with them? Why.
I don't want to go all faithful and shit on anyone, because I'm far from it. I do know that religion is a big part of everyone's experience. Religious, Non-religious, and athiests all have to deal with religion all the time. Regarldess, when talking about guidelines for human existance, WE CANNOT restrict it because of it's orgins. Religious or Secular?
That's what they're doing. THEY, the government, is restricting it. They are telling US we can't do it. Can't put that brilliant list there. That's not, I think, what they (the founders) envisioned.

bear. You're getting incoherent again. You are FREE to practice any religion you like, so long as it doesn't involve something crazy like human sacrifice, but "the government" simply wants to ensure that public servants serve the public, and not just their vision of God. Let me ask how you would feel if a Muslim somehow became a federal judge and wanted to enforce the idea of completely covered women in his courtroom. Would you support that?
