    What you have just written is logically flawed.
    Where did your understanding of the 10 Commandment's come from? Our only record of them comes from "the Holy Scriptures" that you've just cited as an untrustworthy source. It's not like the Tablets and the Torah are separate entities any more than Moses, Elijah, Jesus and their activities (walking on water, parting the sea, being taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot, etc.) are separate entities from the Bible.

    It is easy for you to call these things BS, but not that God might have spoken to a guy on the mountaintop and inscribed tablets using lightning?

    Existence is nonsensical. The older I get, the less anything makes sense. The idea that people come out of other people and have mouths is endlessly strange. It doesn't really bother me to believe that crazy deity related stuff happens. Even if there was nothing after death, there would be no reason not to impose jihad on others - if that's what you wanted to do.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
