I see very little AKA cohesion in your assertions. No ones talking about heaven or hell but you. I disagree that personal behaviour shouldn't be regulated. They are, always have been and always will be. There are somethings that shouldn't be, and are, somethings that should, which aren't. Deal with it. You were mistaken in your assesment of the ten commandments applicablity to our legal system. Completed and profoundly mistaken. We've largely moved on.

Such narrow minded interpretations. It is bigger then god damn or jesus christ. Do you tell them to fuck off or to eat the peanuts out of your shit? Never mind. It doesn't matter. If you want to argue in this fashion: well this one is, but wait not like that, but like this, and that part is stupid, because this says that....you go on having fun with it. I'm not interested.
If you have difficulty seeing how the ten commandments are very applicable to our everyday lives, LEGALLY and Secularly, I'm not sure I can help.

That is not federal law. Sorry. It's interpretation of federal law, and is overturned, re-interpreted, and re-applied routinely. And federal LAW is NOT above state law. Federal Law trumps state law in circumstances ONLY where constitutionally provided OR when state law is deemed in violation of the constitution. That's it.
