re: "Supreme Court Appears Skeptical of Boston’s Refusal to Fly Christian Flag" (The New York Times, January 18, 2022)

Since the foremost principle, literally the First Commandment in fact, of "our Judeo-Christian moral heritage" that Camp Constitution (cute name) yearns "to enhance understanding of" is absolute intolerance, a spot of intolerance extended by a healthy secular society with more enlightened human morals than those available in the Middle East more than 2,000 years ago might seem tolerably just retribution for centuries of suppression unto torture, burning, and general extermination of a swathe of heretics, infidels and unbelievers by Christians in the name of their vengeful god.

Exodus 20:3 is perfectly clear: "You shall have no other gods before me."

Some time later in the consistently not-so-loving New Testament we are warned from Paul's pen: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows" (Galatians 6:7), although this is hard to parse: whilst faithfully cleaving to the intolerance found in the Old Testament's despotic command theory of morals, the latter day Christians seem unwilling to reap what their ancestors have long sown.

But let the secular prove itself again better: support the Camp group's desire "to enhance understanding of" their ancient ideology. Let them fly their flag, and with luck reap some healthy mocking of the type Galatians falsely claims to be impossible.
