Not just the Ten Commandments, group says

The Supreme Court decided yesterday to review the case of a 33-year-old religious organization that wants to have its tenets posted in a Utah municipal park near a monument of the Ten Commandments.The American Humanist Association, which has been critical of Ten Commandments monuments on public grounds, said conservative groups who support such monuments "must reap what they have sown."

The proverbial "door" was opened by allowing any items of a religious nature. Now, how can any group be denied the right to have a monument noting the specifics of the respective group?

It would seem that the end does not justify the means.

Funny how when religious messages that these people don't like get placed in government places, it generally tends to make them ardent (if only temporary) supporters of the "separation" clause.

namtac, that is a funny happening is it not?

Ho, ho, ho. Real funny, that we have rejected the great and awesome Messiah and His Holy Law for a mess of pottge filled with unbelief, error and inanity. Because we have touched the Ark of God, and desecarated His Holy of Holies this nation - if it does not repent - will surely die (i.e. pass away, cease to exist) as the great nation we once were. That's not funny at all - that's tragic. But a cynical, derisive world will no doubt continue to be what it is, and express its nature; but will also surely reap what it sows - as we are already doing.

they (summum) tried a sneaky back door approach to make wine under the auspices of being a religion. after you've learned the beginning summum meditations you are allowed to drink their alcohol (nectar) which acts as the vehicle for transporting concepts that are stored within the alcohol. i suspect that AA members could not become part of this cult. yeah i can remember when i consumed enough alcohol i would begin to have some different thoughts - which mostly were not holy or righteous. but if catching a buzz before you pray is your thing apparently this federally bonded winery is the place you want to be.
summums seven principles are a higher order of Gods plan for mankind and the ten commandments are a lower set of laws more readily and easily understood (per their belief). they believe it is important to move things by your mind, use correspondence between various levels of life, understanding that things vibrate, embrace opposition (sounds like yin yang),you must have rythym, under stand that 'stuff happens i.e cause/effect, that we are basically hermaphrodite in nature. maybe that is why they drink alcohol, they need it to believe this stuff.

Thanks for the run down, Buz. That explains a lot.

I am so humbly grateful for the pure truth of God's holy and infallible Word, that, if embraced, sets one utterly free, enobles and elevates the mind, purifies the soul, and generates a wonderful, joyous life - a fabulous prospect since we are still "in the body of this death." Rom. 7

It never ceases to amaze me what fallen man comes up with as a substitute for God's liberating truth: whether it be payote halucinations, Yogic contortions, dooms-day cults, false religions or huMANism. Thank God forever for the precious words of Yeshua:

"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

If the Supreme Court's decision allows the display of religious speech alongside historical artifacts and information, who makes the ultimate decision what sorts of historical information are to be shown?

I suggest an elaborate memorial to the Ute tribe. Maybe include reenactments of their sacred dances and rituals. Then, too, include information on their demise at the hands of settlers.
