I cannot find one single reason that the Ten Commandments should not be taught in every school.


The brilliant Social Economist thinker Thomas Sowell, posited the idea of a "First Principle"; and that all secondary principles thereafter were determined by said First Principle.

There are but two possible Universal First Principles: the first being that a loving God exists as Spirit, and that all which we witness flows from that Source.

The second possibility is that Energy and Matter exist - having no Spiritual Consciousness - and that Humanity (complex life forms) flow/evolve from the interactions of those basic Sources.

For Secular Leftist Ideology (Egalitarian) to claim the high moral authority to institute Government to mitigate the inequality/injustice innate in the Natural Process (Lib's "life's lottery" of random chance), the Idea of God as being a just arbiter of an/the Individual's position in the Process...must be denied.

It is an undeniable truth that an individual's quality of life is directly dependent on their Genetic and Cultural beginning; though there will always be anomalies and extraordinary individuals who can by force of will and intellect, elevate QOL to extraordinary levels. And of course, the criteria of exactly what determines QOL, is subjective; as the essence of 'Feeling' reigns supreme. A particular individual dining on a pot of beans with real friends, may FEEL more thankful and blessed (happy) than DJT dining on caviar with High Rollers who would sell out friendship for a price.

For either the Secular Humanist Egalitarian Idea to claim that God is at the least, unjust and corrupt if it does exist...or the Atheist Idea of no God existing as the basis for claiming superior and absolute moral authority to mitigate the (supposed) injustice of Nature with a Collective Human Government...the Idea of God MUST be invalidated. Theologically, such an invalidation of God/God's moral authority would be the likely First Principle of Lucifer's original attack on God's true supremacy and absolute authority.

We're on our way to understanding this stuff. I suspect that given the possibilities of infinite Parallel Universes ("many mansions") and the possible Universal Axiom (Quantum Physics/Theory) that (Subjective) observation...directly AFFECTS the Empirical Reality...looks like we all may be the Spiritual and/or Worldly arbiter of our own chosen version of Reality. Perfect justice. Can't blame God...only our self. Fair enough.

If God is rejected, then so is the idea of an objective standard of good and evil, right and wrong. If that be the case, all moral judgments are subjective and have no weight other than what a constantly changing society wants to give to them. That means a society can support racism, sexism, rape, murder, theft, child molestation, incest, forced slavery, or any other moral “sin” imaginable and there would be no objective standard to condemn that society.

On the other hand, if the Biblical God exists, there is an objective standard to judge good and evil, right and wrong across all individuals or societies in all locations throughout all time. God’s moral law (the 10 Commandments) allow for praise or condemnation of moral/immoral actions. Without it, morality is nothing but a preference, like how you prefer your steak cooked, and no one has a basis to judge anyone else.
