Supreme Blunder

The supreme court has ruled today that the ten commandments cannot be displayed in the U.S. courts. This is such a monumental decision politically, philosophically, and theologically, that I am not quite sure where to begin. All three of the above mentioned categories overlap to a large degree, and what affects one category will certainly, to a large or small degree, be reflected in the others.

The court has unkowingly ( I hope) commited Idolotry and opened the door to judicial relativism. The high court has annexed relativism to constitutional interpretations and divorces the absolute standard, e.g. God's law from guiding true justice. They have declared that God must leave the building, while men decide what is right. They have willingly severed themselved from divine accountability. What will they use for a standard now?

The court has also ruled that file sharing companies can be sued for providing access to individuals to share music and movies. File sharing was obviously seen by the court as intellectual and creative theft (hmm, sound like one of the ten commandments). How ironic and contradictory! The court says "thou shalt not steal", and then boots the God who gave us this commandment out of their presence. How insulting and vain. You say there is no room for divine guidence in the courts, then you use divine laws to make rulings.

The court also ruled that the ten commandments can be displayed on government land. "Hey God, you can have the grass and the concrete, but you cannot have the courtrooms." This would be like kicking the bible out of the church, but allowing its display in the church parking lot. The court has unhitched the yoke of God from its neck, and has declared itself truly a "supreme court". Who or what will guide this blind branch of government, now that it has plucked out its eyes?
