I am aware that I frequently give too much credit to the United States Supreme Court. I defer to their logic and enjoy reading the actual decisions they publish because I enjoy the logic employed. It is a mental exercise I wish more would try but it also leads me to not judge the overall impact of decisions. Today, I feel differently.

The Court issued a decision in which they held Kentucky cannot display framed copies of the Ten Commandments in county courthouses while at the same time ruling displaying the Ten Commandments on government land is generally OK. Talk about confusion.

I will not read these rulings and examine the logic under which they were framed. To me, there is one simple fact in all law of the United States and the various countries on whose law we framed ours. The Ten Commandments are the first real "codification" of principles of law under which our civilization has lived for millenia.

To take any step which reduces the Commandments impact is just plain wrong. Sure they are a religious symbol. Of course, they come to us from Judaism. But they are our foundation whether we be Jewish, Christian, or Muslim. To throw them away is to embrace secularism, which is a religion of its own sort.

We are at the cross roads with atheism, agnosticism and secularism. We must either embrace a world in which we evolved from dust or one in which we were created from dust. If we are evolved from dust and the universe was created from a "really big bang," look out because there is absolutely no reason for me to be kind to you. If you have something I want, I'm gonna take it and while the law may attempt to find me and punish me, I will feel no remorse. The law cannot possibly hope to police 6 billion people like me. Eventually I will die but, there being no god, so what? Just stay out of my way because if you get in it, there is nothing stopping me from trampeling you. This secularist principle should be applied not only on the individual level but also by coutries, societies, cultures. We are now a tribe of people who just simply take care of ourselves.
