He seemed to be totally unfamiliar with the Ten Commandments. Most knowledge Atheists could have done far better than that - even though they don't agree with many of the commandments. I'd guess that many people active in Atheism even know them all by heart.

Just another example of why religion and government should be separate.

Moses Didn't Write The Constitution
As Thomas Jefferson wrote in a June 5, 1824 letter to Major John Cartwright, "Our Revolution commenced on more favorable ground [than the foundation of the Ten Commandments]. It presented us an album on which we were free to write what we pleased. We had no occasion to search into musty records, to hunt up royal parchments, or to investigate the laws and institutions of a semi-barbarous ancestry. We appealed to those of nature, and found them engraved on our hearts."

Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . Moronic GA Congressman on Colbert Report Here we have Congressman Lynn Westmoreland from Georgia - sponsor of legislation requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in the House and the Senate. Turns out when Colbert agrees and asks him to list all ten, Westmoreland gets as far as three (and reaching deep for those, I might add). http://youtube.com/watch?v=veIU0Jwu54w Rather than dignifying the disgusting attempts of the "lunatic fringe"* to exploit emotions, we need to be exposing them for the national jokes they are. * Rating: 5
