Hi Leon,

Perhaps you can help me to understand more about your views.

In one of your posts in this thread, you wrote:

It is no longer acceptable for judges to
have the 10 commandments displayed in their court rooms or the Bible
displayed in from of the court house.

but at another point you wrote:

I don't believe in certain groups of people having special privileges

Are you of the opinion that the 10 commandments should be
displayed in the courts? If so, does that not imply "certain
groups of people having special privileges?"

I "am not" of the opinion that the 10 commandments must be displayed in the
courts. I do however believe that the judge, government official or not,
should be allowed to conduct his court room and have in his court room what
he chooses to have. Personally I prefer that they be displayed but I
certainly am against some one wanting them taken down for his day in court.
That person can choose to ignore them if he finds them offensive.


Hi again,

Let me start by saying I very much appreciate your response
to me question, but it does raise another:

How might it feel for you if you were called into court as a
witness, or perhaps even charged with a crime (just for the
sake of my example g) and on entering the courtroom behind
the judge you saw hanging on the wall some set of moral
principles completely different from those with which you
grew up?

Would you feel it appropriate were I to say to you at that
point "You can ignore them if you find them offensive."?

Thanks again,
--
Kenneth
