    The KKK is associated with decades of segregation and Black oppression(sp). How are the ten commandments offensive?
    its easy to see why some find it offensive
    ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
    FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

    cmon you can see why people of other religions find it offensive

    It's common sense in writing. (except for the "whole thou shalt have no other gods before me", which is still open for interpretation). Isn't this a infringment on freedom of speech as well?
    its not an infringment, because you can post it if you feel like it. its the government that people are saying shouldnt post it up in public

    I see what you're saying, but do the ten commandments have a negative effect on anything?

    I am all about separation of the church and state but I believe that they should be hung in judicial buildings. They're a good base for common morals which is appropriate in a court or other governmental building.

    Its not like they have a Crucifix hanging in the courthouse . . .
