Just 10 commandments in public aren't enough for some
According to the Salt Lake Tribune ...Followers of the Summum faith say Moses made two trips down from the mountain. On one journey, the prophet returned with the Ten Commandments, "lower laws" that were easily understood and widely distributed.The higher law obtained from the other trip, though, was passed down only to a select few who were able to appreciate it, according to the Salt Lake City-based religion.
But now, Summum is fighting a legal battle to share that higher law - the Seven Aphorisms, or principles that underlie creation and nature - with everyone in a public forum. The church has filed suit against Pleasant Grove over its refusal to allow it to erect its own monument in a city park that has held a Ten Commandments monolith since 1971. ...

Oh Gawd ... It is never ending. I imagine the same thing is going to happen in science classrooms soon enough.
Hmmm...perhaps the UUs should be campaigning to construct monuments of the seven principles. Actually it would be pretty cool if you could go to a public park and see the basic tenants of a bunch of world religions.
Sarahliz,
Now that's an excellent idea.
