[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2764567, member: 4235"] I know that is the excuse they use when trying to justify these things in Court, but excuse me if I find [I]it[/I] disingenuous. In all the uproar over this, I have not heard one person say they are pissed off because people are removing displays of "legal codes through history" (imagine that being said in a dramatic circus announcer voice)... it's always "they're taking God out of society" or "trying to re-write the history of this country as a Christian nation." It's just like putting "In God we trust" on the money, or putting "under God" in the plegde... it is just a little way for religious people to remind everyone that "we run this *****"... in case anyone forgot. The fact that you never see these people advocating for the display of other "legal codes through history" -- only the one from the religious book THEY follow -- shows what a crock that excuse is. FWIW, my comment was not a protestation... I don't have a dog in that fight anymore. But I know that there are a lot of evangelical Christians who will otherwise be the first to jump on you at any suggestion that modern folks are under any part of the Law of Moses, other than the parts Jesus re-stated, since the New Covenant has wiped out that obligation and put mankind under grace, rather than law. I'm just saying, their absence in this debacle is a might conspicuous. [/QUOTE]
