The Supreme Court is hearing a case about having the ten commandments on display on public property. The case originated down here in Texas, so I've been following it.
One thing I've learned is that different denominations even within Christianity have their own version of the ten commandments.
The wording on the monument in Austin is the wording used by Lutherans, but rejected by Catholics and others.
I knew there were different wordings, to a degree, but never knew different denominations had "official" wordings.
Interesting.
