I think the land it was on was donated back in the early 1900's by a senator, that's why.

Re: Does morality require God?

Where are the commandents to not rape, not own slaves, not abuse children? Surely those are more heinous crimes than bearing false witness or coveting? Why aren't they part of the 10 commandments?

Surely they are clearly pointed out and condemned somewhere else in the Bible, right?
