Not arguing with your statement, but I fully believe if the Catholic Church wanted to petition SNL or a Hollywood studio to cease and desist they should be allowed.
Quote: Well, since we've been throwing God under the bus and things have worked out so well, maybe we should try bringing Him back, so our Nation can be Blessed and we can get out of this mess.
How is not having religion is school " throwing him under the bus?" And which God is being "thrown under the bus?"

I think its important to note that throwing God under a bus would be no big deal because I mean, he's God. Omnipotent deities don;t really sweat motor vehicle collisions.
And while the ten commandments do a have a couple of those ten that are of a religious nature, by and large they are good quality character traits that we all try to teach our children.
I mean do we want our children to go around using a foul mouth? No we don't.
Do we want them to be respectful of their elders? Yes we do.
We certainly don't wish for them to become killers, or cheat on their spouse nor to be liars.
We don't want them to lust after other men or women when they are married. Nor to be jealous of others.
It's the Readers Digest condensed version of some basic moral values that are considered to be respectful and of good character. I see nothing wrong with that in any setting.
Prayer in schools I'm a little more torn about. People and children have plenty of time before school and work, as well as plenty of time after school and work which they can pray. I do believe a moment of silence with which one can silently pray, meditate or just be in quiet thought may very well be far more appropriate.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Not sure what you're asking, but what I mean is if they want to get petitions signed and protest outside of businesses then they should be allowed, without talk of, "why are these whiners always trying to change my life?".
Oh, I think I get it now. I used the words -cease and desist- but not really thinking in terms of a law suit, just in terms of cease and desist.
Quote: You don't like the ten commandments on the wall of the courthouse? Don't look at them then.
The Ten Commandments outside the courthouse have always baffled me.
How many of them are part of the actual law observed by said court? Three?
Interesting, let's take a look though I think you are underestimating how generic the 10 commandments were written.
(1) Only honor God. No
(2) Don't take Lord's name in vain (no swearing) Not usually (it can apply in some situations under law for more general language provisions).
(3) Keep the Sabbath holy Yes, usually. Saturday & Sunday are most often days off for the court.
(4) Honor your mother and father Not really, it can be twisted to yes, but let's just say no.
(5) Don't commit muder Yes.
(6) Don't commit adultery Most places, yes in divorce proceedings adultery still plays a large role. California and others take it out, but, most commonly, yes.
(7) Don't steal. Yes.
(8) Don't bear false witness Yes. Plenty of marketing laws and corporation laws along with identity theft laws which could go under 7 but I think is more appropriate here.
(9) Don't covet neighbor's wife No.
(10) Don't covet neighbor's things. No.
So, we come down to a pretty clear 5 out of 10. I could make the case for more of them, but wanted to limit it to the clear selections.
Whether or not they should be on the walls of a courthouse is for others to weigh in on, but wanted to get a grounding on it first.
I can't say I agree with those five being clear.
Taking the Lord's name in vain isn't illegal. Neither is not keeping the Sabbath holy, or adultery.
Either way, it's pretty goofy to put them in courthouses. You're basically saying "This is God's word, and the most important rules of man...but we only prosecute about two or three of them."
Our laws aren't based on them in any way, so I'm not sure exactly what their place is in a court.
I had not included taking the Lord's name in vain though there are certainly places where it is illegal to curse including several religious swear words.
Committing adultery is certainly not going to send you to jail, but will be held against you in courts in most states in a divorce proceeding therefore used quite often in the courts.
They may not say they are keeping the Sabbath holy by having weekends on Saturday and Sunday (and thus no court), but we all know that the reason the weekends are on Saturday and Sunday was because that is when the majority of people were keeping the Sabbath holy. Otherwise, our days off could have easily been other days of the week.
