    I will concede that the 10 Commandments have any value when we elect a president that actually observes them all.

      They can observe them all; but if they worship other gods, take the lord’s name in vain, and don’t observe the Sabbath, I wouldn’t fuss over it.

        Taking the lord’s name in vain doesn’t mean swearing “god damn it!” It means claiming to be of the faith to swindle people. That’s exactly what they’re doing now.

        Yeah I’d like to see them laugh at having to remove all guns from the police, military, and the death penalties.

        Does thou shall not kill also mean we can’t kill animals and plants as well? Guess we would all have to starve…

      I mean, most of the things there are already codified in law or in the social contract. Don’t kill people is pretty universal.

      I’d rather people math their expectations onto reality than the reverse.
