RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -

Will the Ten Commandments be reduced to six in a Virginia school? A federal judge made that suggestion to try and end a longstanding legal battle.

<snip>

A federal judge, Monday, suggested the school take the Ten Commandments down to six by removing the four that clearly mention God and the Sabbath.

"That's the whole idea that the framers had, was to keep the government out of religious disputes of this sort," Tobias added.

It's unclear if either side is okay with the idea of six commandments, but they'll negotiate that with the mediator outside of the confines of a traditional courtroom hearing.

He could have brought down one tablet with the Golden Rule and he brought down the silly commandments instead.

The scene where Moses comes down from the mountain with three stone tablets.
"Behold these fifteen ..."
Then he drops one and it shatters.
"ten! Ten commandments!"
