Is our Constiution really based on the 10 commandments?

The other day I was on this debate with some guy on this hating ICP facebook page. I think is so amusing where people will get on this page and defend ICP. Especially on their phone wasting their minutes on something so stupid to argue about. Well what really intrigued me about this conversation is how it changed. I believe anything else that isn't about bitching about ICP, and of course me being labeled being a hater and hearing people speak in "loser" talking like whoop, whoop, or herp derp.

Well hear is what is said:

Whoop whoop! fuck all you haters as you see you think that were just a group of pussies but as you all see you could only say this over facebook. its not like any of you bitches could beat anyone so why comment on something you cant beat??

 uhuh i dont really care what you say about me but when you talk about the fam.... also if you didntcare why did you post then???

Yeah, you know else had a "family"? Charles Manson and look how well that turned out. We live in America we have the right to say what ever we want. Freedom of Speech ever heard of it? For instance, anyone that listens to ICP needs to be immediately slaughtered like a pig on television bashed their brains out with pinball hammers. If you don't like hit delete and get on with the rest of your day.

Lmfao.... this is so funny but who are you talking to? are you taking any actions or protest are you? i dont have anything against the commandment but who are you telling but people on facebook

Is it me? Correct me if I am wrong, but I did not know the ten commandments is in the Constitution?

 This is completely false. Nowhere in the Constitution are the words "God," "Jesus," or "Christianity." This was not an accidental omission. The Constitution was deliberately a secular document, and the only references to religion are exclusionary.   

1. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
This is contrary to the First Amendment, which states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."  It utterly defies the American concept of religious liberty.


2. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image..."
This is also contrary to the First Amendment, as it violates the right to freedom of religion and the right to freedom of speech.  Furthermore, it is hypocritical of people to insist on putting into government buildings a graven image of a document that prohibits the making of graven images.


3. "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain."  Again, this contradicts the First Amendment right to freedoms of religion and speech.

4. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
This commandment has indeed influenced our society, but working on Saturdays or Sundays is hardly illegal.


5."Honor thy father and thy mother."
There is no law requiring children to honor their parents, and in fact, the only laws in this regard are those to protect children from parents who are not worthy of being honored.

6. "Thou shall not kill."
This commandment is certainly a good idea, but all civilized societies have had laws against murder since the Code of Hammurabi, which predates the Bible by at least 1,000 years.  In other words, it is hardly an original law.


7. "Thou shalt not commit adultery."While committing adultery is usually a bad idea, there are no federal laws against it.

8. "Thou shalt not steal."This is a good idea, but not indigenous to Christianity.

9. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."Also known as "perjury", this commandment, is not unique.

10. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."

It is not only perfectly legal to covet your neighbor's possessions, our capitalistic economy would be in serious trouble without it.  Note also that the wife is listed with the rest of the man's property, which contradicts our legal concept of gender equality.

We can easily see that only three of the Ten Commandments have corresponding laws, and not a single one of those is exclusive to Christianity.  They are part of a purely religious document, which has no place in government buildings funded by taxpayers of all religions and none.

The founding fathers made it clear through the blatant absence of religious language in the Constitution that they were creating a nation in which religion and government would remain separate entities.  There are also numerous quotes from Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and others that attest to this fact.  Those who are purposely attempting to subvert the founding fathers' intentions by turning the United States into a theocracy should be considered treasonous, as they are waging war against our American birthright of total religious freedom.
