I'm not a religious individual. Like Jefferson and the others, I would not want a theocracy. But that does not extend to banning the Ten Commandments from a government building, or banning the use of the word "God" in a pledge. Where do we stop? Are you offended at the thousands of white crosses that appear in Arlington Cemetary? Should THEY be removed I think there should be no references to religion in any gov't buildings. A cemetery is a piece of land......I have no problem with crosses on that land. The Ten Commandments is primarily a Christian artifact.......we are not a Christian nation exclusively so there is a double reason to keep it out of gov't buildings. If people don't have enough religion in their lives, then go to services every day, become a priest or a nun, or live in a church. Just keep me out of it and pay your respects to Thomas Jefferson.
