It is no surprise. As the people are not even sure that "they" want them........including Christians. In His Truth, Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really a surprise, since these same justices are rejecting most of this nation's laws in favor of moral relativism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was unconstitutional, why did the constitutional framers etch them into our nation's capital. Seriously, are the peopel in the Supreme Court that stupid?

For if you truly look at them as well as our laws it is undeniable where our laws originated. The U.S. needs God. It is only a matter of time before this country realizes that. In truth, the World needs God. Just hope that more of us believers and non-believers alike start to open our eyes more to see what is going on in this world today as well as see some of the things in which we can change.

The funny thing is the "Seperation of Church and State" is a myth. It's too far often abused for the original intent. A display of the 10 Commandments is hardly a law recognizing the establishment of religion. I have to wonder if most of the judges out there have read the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. On the other side, the 10 commandments wasn't the foundation of the justice system like I've been reading from so many christian news sources.
