Christian conservatives to seek voters' support for government displays of Ten Commandments

"There is no bigger issue on the Christian agenda," said Charles W. Colson, evangelical Xian writer and Watergate figure of the issue regarding the display of the X Commandments on government property.

So, lemme see here...of world hunger, poverty, disease and the murder of innocents the world over (but especially in Iraq), the biggest issue for Xians is whether or not they get to erect idols on government property, effectively claiming the government as their own?? Sheesh. And here I thought Xians might actually be concerned about their fellow humankind. Jesus has got to be turning in his grave...or something.

Representative Ernest Istook, Republican of Oklahoma, said he planned to try to revive a proposed constitutional amendment to permit government displays of the Commandments as well as school prayer and the recitation of the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Theocracy, anyone? Yeesh!
