Response to “The New Commandments” The widely known religious pillar, “The Ten Commandments”, is revered as a human guideline for most branches of Christianity, but is often dismissed as being outdated. It is understandable that the author of “The New Commandments”, Christopher Hitchens, feels strongly about the tablets; perhaps it is primarily for its title that implies of forced obedience that irks this author.

This poem by Shelly Hottell is one that clearly highlights the disparities in this ruling that was established to exclude prayer in the classrooms. It exemplifies the inconsistencies in the laws made that are socially affecting the youth in North American communities. It is very confusing when you tell someone especially a young person that We are One Nation Under God, yet We cannot say the name of God in public. Then, we cannot read the Bible in the classroom because it may violate the rights of another person’s beliefs and if we bow our head in public as though to pray, we can be charged under a Federal statute.…
e as people pick and chose what we want to when it comes to explicit commandments. According to page 67 in the Ethical Toolbox, it states “There are also a large number of explicit commandments that almost no one takes seriously and almost all of us feel free to ignore.” If a person can ignore certain explicit commandments that means they are choosing what they want to believe in.
