I figured I would jump start us onto the next few Theses because to me they are completely irrelevant. Is it just that I don't understand because I'm not American? I know on debate boards, what is or is not in the constitution of the US with regards to freedom 'of' and freedom 'from' religion is always a hot topic but I have never understood what the brouhaha is about. I don't doubt that what the Theses say about the founding of the US and the religious beliefs of its founding individuals is true, but I don't see how that is really relevant to anything. Do you?
With regards to Theses 10, my reaction, is well, yeah, dude! They were forming a country, not a religion. Of course they selected basic principles of justice from the Bible and their own common sense understanding of justice but it was a secular society they were planning.
So I really have nothing to say to any of these but if you have something that you want to say about any of them, go ahead.
