<<I would regard myself as moral.>> And so you ascribe to a moral code I presume. What code is that?

<<I don't think the Ten Commandments are especially useful as a moral code: they identify morality too much as *not* doing a specific (and eccentric) list of things;>>

Which of the "nots" do you find not useful? Do you worship idols? Do you think it bad for people to rest one day a week? Do you think people should covet other peoples relations and stuff? Stealing OK with you?

<<Am I immoral because I suggest that morality will not be well served by putting up the Ten Commandments everywhere?>> Do you think your self representative of the people opposing the display of the big 10? I don't. I don't think morality will suffer by the presentation of the ten commandments. They are not being offered as new school rules, only as an important historical reference. You seem to have some fear of how the presentation of the ten will effect students. If students were influenced by their display then what? What if they developed a desire to comply with the ten? What if they didn't?
