Do those who berate the negativism of the 10
Commandments also object to the first 10
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution? Those
amendmentsthe Bill of Rightsare predominantly
stated in terms of you shall not. Congress
shall make no law respecting the establishment of
religion or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof No soldier shall in time of peace be
quartered in any houseetc. No, not, nor
appear 15 times in the Bill of Rights, yet one
seldom hears the Bill of Rights referred to as
just a list of no nos. The accusation of
negativism directed at the 10 Commandments is
really a specialized attack against their
content, not a consistent stand against
negatively stated standards.  Dr. John Sparks,
