The 10 Commandments are laws by which we should all strive to abide. For many, it isn't the objects of faith that are found to be offensive. It is the niggling fear in the pit of the stomach that we are approaching a totalitarian democracy: Ruled by the majority (or worse, a mob mentality), whose desires for equal representation under the law are subverted by the -- ironically -- few in office with the power to wield their own personal agendas. We are seeing this happen right now in Iran, to the great turmoil of many.
In short, what many fear is the mob mentality that may be well-meaning, but ultimately threatens the individual freedoms we all hold dear.

I did not expect that you would. You are intelligent, educated and a gentleman not a raging extremist on either side.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with having the Ten Commandments displayed prominently in many places...
