Attractive though it may be, a resident of Lockland, Ohio has sued to have a Ten Commandments display removed from Town Hall. But what’s wrong with a few “good rules for living”?
And attractive it is!
Resident Christopher Knecht is suing to have the offending object removed and a court order set in place to prevent future displays of “religious fables and myths”.
A poll at cincinnati.com asks whether the town should be forced to remove the Ten Commandments display. At this writing, 76.88% of 8,166 votes say yes. I am personally appalled by this turnout!
Before popping over and casting your vote, I suggest reviewing this article on the Ten Commandments, which should be required reading for anyone who thinks the Ten Commandments is a Godless display of “good rules to live by”.
A taste:
The Ten Commandments are God's Law and are the backbone not of “good values”, but of our future Christian theocracy. They do belong on every publicly-owned property!
Expect a response from the American Family Association and other groups shortly!

The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20:
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
There it is, Commandment #1. God directs us to pray to Him ONLY. No other gods.
No Allah, no Buddha, no Vishnu, no Mary, no Lord and Lady, no Darwin, and no Cthulhu. We, being a Christian nation, should only allow people to worship God.
Tell me, in court, do they swear on the Qur’an? The Upanishads? The Kama Sutra? NO! They swear on the Bible!
We, being a Christian nation, should vividly remind anyone coming to one of our schools, courts, or other public buildings exactly where they are, and that Allah is persona non grata!
Only four (yes, FOUR) of the Ten Commandments comment on genuine “rules for living”. However, one of them does demand that we perform no work on the Sabbath day. Do they close all businesses on Sunday in Lockland, or do they ignore their god? If they're as Godly as they claim, we should be able to drive through town on Sunday and see nothing open but churches!1 And God spake all these words, saying,
