Okay then.which version? Now, that's a toughy. Which will they pick? The protestant version is awfully wordy, carving that into countless stone tablets would be costly, although I'm sure it would be a great boon to the Stone Carving industry, the Catholic version is much more cut and dry but many Fundies hate Catholics and see us as a cult or worse. They would definitely not stand for any papist nonsense cluttering up Their courthouses, and how about the Hebrew? Also, wordy and much less easy to digest - requiring thought a significant change in lifestyle not to mention a real bummer for the seafood industry.

This is the first step, see Saudi Arabia as an example of what the next steps could be. You start with the 10 Commandments and end up with The Religious Police.
