no, i'm saying IMO, that by following the 10 commandments it makes for a good society. if you build a society on those principles, i think we would be blessed.
The topic wasn't what makes a good society, though. It was about people who claimed the US was founded on religion, specifically Christianity, and me asking what those principles are exactly and how they're exclusive to religion.
not all religions have the 10 commandments. the USA use to have them set up all over the place and the government took them down. they are a reminder of how we should live our lives daily. we use to have Bible study in school before classes started for the day. Plus we have In God We Trust on our money, we use to be a God fearing nation, not any more and look at what it has gotten us to. we have religious freedom in this country where Christians were not allowed to be persecuted, as where Christians were being imprisoned in other countries.
sorry if i'm missing your point, it's been a while.
IMO, the Ten Commandments
I apologize for the late reply. I somehow missed the responses to my post.
Are you saying that the principles the US was founded on is based on the Ten Commandments?
Other than laws concerning murder and stealing, and perhaps perjury, I don't see where the rest factor in at all.
And every country has laws against murder, stealing, and perjury, so I don't see how that is exclusive to Christianity.
