more 2 year old absurdity from the fundies

More idiotic rantings from the wackjob fundies and more of their 2 year old persecution conspiracy rantings. ...if you're not 'fer us yer agin us... I don't think there would be much support from Hillary's "white Americans" if this group were Muslim and talking about the Koran. The specific reason this is nonsense is that no, Muslims can not make similar false claims and extend similar lies to law. Just as people who believe in fairies or unicorns can't either.

The United States is NOT a christian nation - thank god. Just as it is not a Muslim nation, Atheist nation, Pink Unicorn nation etc. It is a nation based on a constitution which no where mentions their "10 commandments".  The fundies often ramble about a "Judeo-Christian" nation. That is a complete lie. There were very very few Jews in the early years of the US.

More Ten Commandments Nonsense

In yet another pointless display of absurdity, a coalition of religious right groups is demanding that Congress pass resolutions declaring a Ten Commandments Weekend:

Bill Murray, son of deceased atheist leader Madelyn Murray O'Hair and chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition, is part of the pro-Ten Commandments coalition. "Both of these [resolutions] would authorize a Ten Commandments weekend in order to recognize the Ten Commandments as the foundation of law in this country," Murray explains. "But with Nancy Pelosi in charge of the House and Harry Reid in charge of the Senate, we can't have a voice. We can't get these out and open and celebrate the Ten Commandments," he contends.

Bullshit. You can celebrate the ten commandments as much as you want. You can gather with your friends every single day for the rest of your life and throw a ten commandments party if you want. No one will try and stop you. I love this notion that if the government doesn't endorse an idea, it violates our right to believe that idea. Just plain idiotic.

Almost as idiotic as claiming that the ten commandments are the "foundation of law" in America. The foundation of law in this country is the constitution, which doesn't mention the ten commandments anywhere. In fact, 7 of the 10 commandments would be blatantly unconstitutional if passed into law in this country. 7 of the 10 commandments are religious law, not civil or criminal law, and they have nothing to do with government.
