The Ten Commandments are receiving a great deal of ridicule in more recent years. The heated debates within legal systems across the United States on whether or not it is constitutionally correct to have a religious symbol such as the Ten Commandments displayed on government lawns has been met with mixed reviews by Christians. After speaking with my neighbors in an almost completely white-privileged, Christian dominated city on the Iron Range, I find that a great deal of people feel the removal…

The argument Aquinas has that the 10 Commandments are not simply arbitrary commands of God, but rather are ultimately justified by Natural Law can be considered a fair statement to make behind his reasoning of it.
