Søren in Georgia
30 September 2004
Henry County commissioners in Georgia have put up another Ten Commandments display in another courthouse, this time flanked by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. With buddies like these, the county claims that the Ten Commandments are historical, not religious. We're reminded of the Kierkegaardian aphorism that The New Republic’s Leon Wieseltier identified last spring in the Newdow case, when Pledge defenders denied the religiosity of the words, "Under God"; once again, it's the doubter with the best sense of the religious.
