As you have probably noticed, there is a never ending, never resting movement to have the Ten Commandments removed from public places like court houses and such, because "some" find it to be offensive. Personally, "I" am offended by these people who claim to be offended by the Ten Commandments. (I'll add that I am fully justified to be offended at that)

I am especially offended when people visit or move here from another country, then publicly state how offended they are by the Ten Commandments being displayed. (anywhere) Most normal people know what this country is about before they hop on the plane or boat to get here.

This is comparable to me entering your house, (invited or not) then telling you that I am offended by the photographs of your family on your wall or mantle. Offended because of my Cherokee Indian heritage and belief that having your picture taken steals or captures your soul. Then telling you to take them down!

I am equally offended by atheists who claim to be offended by the display of the commandments. My advice; Simply don't read them and you won't be offended! The only offense taking place is by the atheist demanding that they be taken down. The Ten Commandments in and of themselves are not offensive to anyone unless someone is "forced" to follow and live by them.

Unlike other religions, Christians do "not" force anyone to worship their God. To be offended by the Ten Commandments is, to a great extent, to be offended by the United States Of America. Why? Because some of our most important laws are exactly the same as the commandments.

6. You shall not commit murder -
7. You shall not commit adultery
8. You shall not steal -
9. You shall not give false testimony - (perjury)

As far as the other six commandments, if you don't like them, don't read them and don't live by them. I just read the Ten Commandments! It took 1 minute and 32 seconds. I didn't speed read it, neither did I read it too slow, just normal.

So my question is, If the commandments offended you, why did you spend roughly, one minute and 32 seconds reading them? (Duh) I'm sorry if I sound sarcastic, but if I see a magazine in the convenience store that offends me, I don't stop to read it! Furthermore, I don't spend even 1 minute and 32 seconds looking at the cover. I ignore it!

There is a truth here! Either the people being offended by reading the 10 Commandments are so insecure that they are afraid they will start living by them, by virtue of "No Will Power", or they are simply bullies, trying to take away your right to freedom of speech and freedom of expression. (It can be only one)

If you do not believe in God, why would you be so threatened by his commandments? Personally, "I" am secure enough to set aside the things I don't believe in. I am not supersticious, but I do not insist that all ladders be banned from public places, so people can not walk under them and have bad luck.

I don't believe that if you break a mirror, you will have seven years bad luck! Neither do I insist that all mirrors be taken down from court houses and other public places!

Lets just call a spade, a spade! Lets be honest! These people are "not" really offended by the ten commandments. It is just a small step in a carefully planned agenda to take away our freedoms, one small slice at a time!

America, get wise! Start fighting back! (before it's too late)
