Separation of church and state

[gasgod]

The debate over the Ten Commandments will hopefully be settled by the Supreme court soon. It seems to me that this particular debate illustrates that those who would weaken the separation of church and state are intellectually dishonest.

It is ironic that very few churches bother to display the Ten Commandments on church property, where they could be seen daily by thousands of passers-by. Yet, there are those who would insist that they should be displayed on civic property, although comparatively few people would see them there.

The difference? If they are displayed on government property, the implication is that they are government approved. The very same people who would fight tenaciously to display them on government property are almost completely indifferent to their display on private property.
