The US Supreme Court is set to hear a case that will determine if the State of Texas can keep their 40+ year old display of the Ten Commandments on the state house grounds. PBS's Religion and Ethics Newsweekly covered the story this weekend and you can read it or watch the video here. My take: they can keep the monument if George W. Bush is required to repeat "thou shalt not kill" for every person he put to death while governor and for every person who has died in Iraq - which we invaded because of their weapons of mass destruction programs that we pretty much knew didn't exist. Anyway, if he does that Texas can keep the display.
Ok, now that my angry rant directed at literal Bible readers is over (literal meaning they think the Bible should be read literally until they come across something they don't believe in), I'll point you all to something actually constructive on this issue:
