Ten Commandments Redux

The complete article from The Rocky Mountain Collegian

By JP Eichmiller
October 19, 2004

God is in the news again, causing more controversy among us simple beings whom he created in his image, if not intellect. Seems the Supreme Court is going to man up and quit hiding from this little separation of church and state issue it has been ducking for the last 25 years.

Over the last 50-plus years, Christian groups and religious activists have been attempting to bridge the gap between God and politicians. What has become the main battleground of this controversy is the right to post ancient laws written more than 4,000 years ago in our government buildings with the purpose of trying to keep a group of wandering Jews from becoming soulless heathens. These rules, collectively known as the Ten Commandments, are popping up in courthouses and schools across the country. Now the Supreme Court of the land must decide if the founding fathers actually meant it when they desired to live in a nation where the minority must not be subjugated to the will of the tyrannous, or if they were just godless heathens themselves who knew not what they spoke of.

The article provides modern updates to the 10 Commandments.
