Government buildings should display Ten Commandments

The U.S. Supreme Court in 2005 will make its greatest decision by deciding if the Ten Commandments will be displayed in government buildings. Some states allow it and some states don't.

The Ten Commandments are a moral law for this nation. The Ten Commandments can't save you. The Ten Commandments aren't a state religion, so they are legal in government buildings. For 215 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on many decisions, but this one about allowing the Ten Commandments to be displayed in government buildings will be the most important in the history of the United States.

If the U.S. Supreme Court decision is against the display of the Ten Commandments in government buildings, then it will fight the hand that feeds the mouth.

Just because the Ten Commandments talk about God doesn't mean it's a state religion.

What's next? The Declaration of Independence talks about God endowing us with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Will the U.S. Supreme Court decide that the Declaration of Independence is illegal and wrong?
