Today's MSNBC poll-Should the 10 Commandmenets be
allowed on public property.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080261/

When I answered it, it was 70-30 for OK.

1. That shows that 70% have not read them
since they were children and that 70% of them have forgotten 30% of the commandments.

4. We have two laws based on them.
Enshrining them in public is a mockery to the truly religious.

Don't kill Don't steal

The other eight are ignored.

5. I'd be curious if they polled all ten commandants separately
I wonder how the poll would change?

A prime example if the 1st commandment:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

That is definitely religious!

But the six commandment:
6. Thou shalt not kill.

Sound pretty non relgious!

6. 69-41
When I took it. 69% in favor.

Now, ask if it's OK to have monuments for other religions like UU, Buddhism, Wicca, Hinduism, Islam, etc and those numbers would reverse very quickly.

11. True
But I fear that certain leaders will call Bush, tell them they're being persecuted and killed in the streets by atheists everyday by the thousands and need special protection. That would start it all to a theocracy.

How many liberal Christians spek out against this? Do they deep down support this movement?
