Re: The God Gap.
It seems to me that you God types are indeed wanting to jam your religion down us secularists throats.<br />Frankly I don't care, or give any thought to, what anyone else believes from a religious standpoint. I don't understand why you would care what I believe.<br /><br />As far as the ten commandments, why in the world should the government care whether I honor my father or not? Or whether I lust after my neighbor's wife? Or why should they be concerned with which gods or how many gods, I worship?<br /><br />Clearly there are some of these commandments that are none of the government's business, at least one that purports to be free. We already have laws against indiscriminately killing other people, so what possible purpose does posting these commandments do, except to discriminate against those that may chose not to believe in the "correct" god, or other things that are equally not their business.<br /><br />It clearly should not be posted in an official government building, except perhaps a museum.
