    “The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. Jay Morris, R-West Monroe, told the Senate. Rather, it is the Ten Commandments’ "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

    Only two of them are actually law: Thou shalt not murder and thou shalt not steal.

    This is all about religion, and they’re going to get away with it. We’d be better off if our legal codes were based on the seven tenets instead.

      Not even two, maybe one and a half as it depends a lot on who you are and whom you’re stealing from. And you can even argue on murder too

      Flip it around on them, and say that if the Ten Commandments are so important, why they support Trump, who regularly breaks them.

        All the time, and especially for cops. (It’s called ‘qualified immunity’ and ‘civil forfeiture’ instead of murdering and stealing, but it’s the same thing.)
