Q: Did the Supreme Court rule last week that the state of Texas could display a Ten Commandments monolith on its capitol grounds in Austin?
A: Haha. Nope. Trick question! Have a look at the giant paperweight itself. It has 11 commandments on it. Not 10! (And if you count "I am the Lord thy God" as a commandment, like the good Jew you claim you are the Supreme Court actually approved a Twelve Commandments monolith)
Follow up question for Marvin Schick and all the other GOP-Jews who think the Ten Commandments should be on every courthouse, schoolroom and bus station wall in the country.
Which Ten Commandments should be displayed?
The version in Exodus 20: 2-14, or the version in Deuteronomy 5:6-18?
And how should the commandments be numbered? According to Jewish tradition? Catholic tradition? Protestant tradition? Because, as you choose not to recognize, the different versions of the Big 10 are not all the same.
S, big boys, who's faith do we celebrate on public grounds using public money? (Never mind the people who have no faith. In George W. Bush's America, praise god, they don't count, am I right?)
And what do we tell the folks that are left out? Hmmmmm?
