Because, you know, all those 10 commandments monuments at courthouses are supposedly devoid of all religious connotations and are simply legal history symbols.....

5. I think the high unemployment
Is the cause of this. If CEOs would hire people, give them a decent pay, we'd see less of this crap. Then again, they'd demand time off for religious observance and protest an Easter egg hunt for being evil and unbiblical.

3. Demonstrate the importance of the first 4 commandments to US history
Do that and I will reconsider my objection to them.

6. Yeah...no one thought about prohibitions against
theft, and murder, etc...before the 10 Commandments. Everyone lived in a chaos world. There were no nations or governments and er..wait...yes there were. Kinda like there was a planet with life on it before 4004 years ago too...but apparently I'm in the minority lately believing that as well :D

8. You're being far too rational
Apparently you believe in that "theory" called evolution, too.

9. You mean the idea that sometimes
some creatures that aren't well suited to an environment die out, while others that fit it better live and consequently pass on their genes to their offspring?

HERESY!

14. My first thought on seeing this picture? Look for spelling errors.
Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 02:14 PM by ktowntennesseedem
I didn't spot any, but I did see an omitted word that makes for bad grammar: "There is a way THAT seems right to man... "

Oh well, if they had better educatin' they wouldn't have time for this because they might actually have a JOB!!!
