I am not kidding.  The biblical "ten commandments" in my 
not-so-humble opinion have no place per se in the our halls
of government.

However, those sentiments pertaining to honesty, honor, 
cupidity, etc., are in fact multicultural, and a re-expression
of the majority of those injunctions in multicultural form is
entirely appropriate -- highly desirable, in fact, as the 
basis of a rational and just society.

We share those ideals with the majority of compassionate 
and peaceful belief structures in play throughout the world.

I am neither anti-Christian or anti-anything -- I am pro 
freedom, limited only by my impact on other's freedoms.  I
thought that was what we were all about?
