Ten Commandments Postage Stamp

The request for a stamp honoring the Ten Commandments is once again surfacing. Christians nationwide, allied with an organization called Faith and Action and another called The Christian Defense Coalition, have signed petitions from each of the 50 states.

The last request for a Ten Commandments commemorative stamp was made in 2001, at which time the request was denied because by the Postal Service, deeming it "religious," therefore breeching the idea of the seperation of church and state. Shortly after, the Postal Service Advisory Commission allowed the Postal Service to issue two stamps with Muslim themes in a "blatant example of hypocrisy," as it was called by Roy Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

Political Correctnes strikes again, allowing the sqeaky wheel to get the grease as the government denies honoring the biblical principles it was founded upon.

Hiram Sasser, attorney from the Liberty Legal Institute, said that it is ". . . perfectly constitutional and legal to have [the Ten Commandments] appear on a postage stamp. Certainly, if that were not true, then the Ten Commandments would have to be removed from various displays at the National Archives or at the U.S. Supreme Court building."

I fear his words may be prophetic, for there exists many factions who desire exactly that, the removal of the Ten Commandments from Federal Buildings, as well as the removal of "In God We Trust" from our money, and "One Nation Under God" from our Pledge of Allegiance.
