'''Ten or Two Commandments?''' We often hear a lot of debate in [[America]] about whether the [[Ten Commandments]] should be displayed in schools and places of law; it's often seen, especially here, to be a key factor to the 'conservative/liberal' dividing line whether they should or should not. Why is it that we give priority to the Ten, while there are two which are more important?

Matthew 22:36-40 says:
+
+
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
+
37 [[Jesus]] replied: " 'Love the Lord your [[God]] with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
+
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
+
39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
+
40 All the [[Law]] and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Liberals might not agree with the display of the first one, but isn't the second, the [[golden rule|golden commandment]], universal and powerful enough to be acceptable by both conservatives and liberals?

Sorry that I made my first article a debate, but it's an interesting subject that I was discussing with my priest earlier today, and I was interested to hear your thoughts.
