God works in mysterious ways.

Always a stickler for perfection.

I think the constitution was developed with the freedom of religious choice in mind. Where the problem is now is not about religious choice, now they want to be able to attack any religion freely, because they are not of that religion, or are atheists. That is NOT what our forefathers meant.

To me freedom of religon is the right to practice that religion without fear of being attacked for doing it...

By the way, I agree, the judge is using this as a political stepping stone.

While I agree with the premise of the Ten Commandments( which is basically a moral guideline), I also will not try to force it on anyone else. I am also religious, but do not attend church, and I do not want any hypocrite telling me I am going to hell because I do not go to church. I feel much closer to God when I am out on the flats fishing or in the woods hunting than I ever have in any church. I am not a big socializer, and quite frankly, today, church is a social event for most.


And remember, Hitler claimed to be a Christian, Kim Jong Il is an atheist, and Osama Bin Laden is Islam, so there is no "good" or "bad" religion. Just good or evil people.

Very well put. I am in complete agreeance.

Mr. Dubble
I also agree with some of your opinions. I will now express a couple of my own thanks to some hard won liberties.

Webster's defines "religion" in a couple of ways. One of them is "The service and worship of the supernatural." I'm troubled if we are saying that description falls in with "The service and worship of God" as being neither a "good" or "bad" religion? In addition, I don't believe I would want to be in the position on the day when every knee will bow and tell God that his ten commandments were "basically a moral guideline." ... they certainly are....but much more (imo of course). Just needed to go on record. Thanks.
