First of all I just cut and paste the first list they had on wikipedia under 10 Commandments.




Plaque on Wikipedia

Nowhere on that plaque, the alleged example of non-secularity within state, does it include anything else within the Bible but the Commandments themselves--There's no included context or history behind them included on the plaque. You chose not to follow the innards of this actual example and included context from the Bible to give your case more undue strength.

Second, my point is not God is bad (that's never been my bane, organized religion is the thing I don't like. Which is why I'm agnostic.) My point is that the only 10 commandments that are actually worthy of being laws (murder,stealing) are already laws. The others fall under morals and religious laws.




And I covered that.

Explain to me why its necessary to keep the Sabath.




Again, the Sabath wasn't simply a time of worship, but greatly a time of learning and recognition. When the Jews or Christians respected their individual Sabbaths, there'd always be reflection on what made law the law.

Or how the Blind lady with the scales isn't technically a graven image.




Again, you were the one who chose to insert the context from the Bible. God's expanding on the false gods commandment with the comment on graven images isn't in the courts.

Yes it was, otherwise it would be in the Constitution. A lot of them believed in "god" but didn't want it to be a certain religion's god.




Just because there wasn't a constitutional decree that the nation stood by God, that doesn't mean that God perverts their vision. They all had personal, and bitter, feelings towards the belief of God, but they weren't simply concerned with its potential as a belief, but rather as a de-equalizer.
