photosynthesis Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I find this to be a puzzling question because Catholics, Jews, and Protestants can't even agree as to how to word the 10 Commandments. What do you think?
White Knight Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Yes, especially since America was founded on Jewdo-Christianity, Our Four Fathers included God (The Holy Trinity); with everything they did with all their beings I lived, suffered, and died for God and America. Our Principles are on Sacred Scripture & God Himself.
qfnol31 Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 If Washington and Lincoln could use God in Presidential speeches, the Commandments should most definitely be displayed... ...the correct way of course!
photosynthesis Posted December 20, 2005 Author Posted December 20, 2005 i'd support that it would be cool if the entire government was catholic too
qfnol31 Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 LoL, like Poland! [quote]THE CHURCH IN POLAND - STATISTICS Total population: (in thousands) 36,684 Number of population declaring themselves as Catholics: 34,850 / 95% (in thousands and in %) [/quote] Sadly, only about half participate weekly.
Matty_boy Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 God forbid anyone have anything displayed that might actually enrich someone's life.
White Knight Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Aren't the Jews and Catholics right though on this as opposed to the Protestants? I mean the Jewish People received the 10 Commandments a good while before Christ came.
philothea Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I can't see how anyone could oppose the Ten Commandments. Even if you're an atheist, they're culturally and historically significant, right?

It is proper to reflect on history no matter what one believes concerning theology. Therefore posting is appropriate as long as it is done in a respectful manor.
Socrates Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 While, of course, as a Catholic, I'd ideally prefer the "Catholic version," the issue of which version is used is really not important to me. The differences are mostly in how they are numerated - it's not like they they say different, contradictory things. The opposition to the Ten Commandments being in public places is one of the most absurd examples of the radical secularist agenda. Of course such people would object to the Commandments being courtrooms, because they do not want law to be rooted in divine law, but on their own whims.
