They say that Religion and Politics are not supposed to be intertwined, and look at this. I think they should just put up the rules for evey religion to keep everybody happy. People b***h about how they are not included in the United States' religious things and I think that would help. *enters 40-min dissertation*

I think technically The Ten Commandments can be displayed at any legal institution, as it is ancient Hebrew law and provided law and order to nations for years to come, including the U.S. As long as they're displayed for that sole purpose, there should be no problem.

Only like 2 or 3 of the commandments actually break a law though.

I think the technical issue now boils down to WHO puts up the monument.

^No, the first three. (I'm assuming he meant that 2 or 3 commandments themselves are illegal to post on gov't property, not that 2 or 3 agree with laws, because then his wording wouldn't make sense.)

The way he worded it, it sounded like he meant that only three tie in with any human laws.

To me it sounded like he meant only three were in conflict with the separation.
