Ending and ceasing to exist are the same thing.

The 10 C's are displayed on one court, but not another. The involvement is
still there, and the court that has them on display is the very court that
says the other my not display them. Law comes to us from many religious

that man's ability to reason is derived from a higher power is the basis of
our legal system.
