Default Re: Why is Andy Fox a mench?

If we accept Sklansky’s Moses and the Prisoners’ Delema as a given, is it a good idea for us to allow a judge to display the Ten Commandments in his court room.

No, I don't think so. Even if you think that Christian belief is good for us, that does not mean the 10C should be displayed. Many reasons here, but mostly displaying the 10C is not fair to people of other (or non) beliefs.

Xianity is not the American state religion, and frankly I would prefer that Xianity not be associated with a whole range of governmental actions. The church has enough to answer for already.

Again, with your stipulation:

Sklansky's story does not preclude non-religious people from behaving well. He only suggests that some people need to be enticed to do so.

I don't think you have to be a Christian to be nice, and the Bible doesn't say so either.
