Commandments Debate Prompts Demonstrations

The Associated Press reported today via Yahoo News that demonstrators were protesting Wednesday in front of the Supreme Court. Quoting from that article:

"Shouts of "Amen" and a response of "hypocrites" pierced the chill air Wednesday as demonstrators protested in front of the Supreme Court while inside justices considered cases involving displays of the Ten Commandments on government property. " [....]

[....] "The cases before the court centered on whether a 6-foot-tall monument of the Ten Commandments in Texas should be allowed to remain on Capitol grounds and a copy of the Commandments can stay posted in a courthouse in Kentucky. " [....]

Towards the end of the piece, the author writes:

[....] "Christan Stapleton, 13, of Newland, N.C. carried a homemade, cardboard Ten Commandments tablet. She came to the Supreme Court with her church and family members.

'We do need them in our school,' she said, 'to help us know what to do, what God wants us to do as we go through our day.' " [....]

"What God wants us to do" ??

How about: THINK FOR YOURSELVES, rather than expecting someone else to do it for you?

How about: stop your government from going into foreign countries and murdering the citizens of said countries - all in the "name of God", in the name of "democracy", in the name of "freedom", in YOUR name?

How about: WAKING UP and smelling the flipping coffee, for Pete's sake?

How's that for starters?
