I disagree with these lawyers. The Ten Commandments has more significance than religious, it also has historic, and a legal significance of being the first written law of the land in which all laws of today are based. Maybe they are offended by history so therefore we should rewrite it. Other than that our current law is ours to change the ten commandments has nothing to do with the current law of the land. Why are they so offended? I find myself agreeing with Magik that it must be that they feel guilty everytime they look at it.

Actaully the Ten Comandments are not the first written laws. The first laws were laid down in Mesopotamia.
A question to the Christians out there. How comfortable would you feel walking into a court room where the judge had a copy of the Koran displayed and a large plaque with Islamic quotes? Or Pagan/Wicca symbols on display? [/QUOTE]While there were likely other written laws before the ten commandments these laws are not ones have not had the influence on our laws today that the ten commandments have. Sorry for being a little unclear. Lets just say that the ten commandments are unique and have withstood the test of time.
