Politics New law requires ten commandments to be displayed in Louisiana classrooms

I remember that. But God could be any number of gods. That's how I always rationalized it.

Either way. I always preferred the 1942 version.

 

One is a private business and the other is a public building not a good comparison.

 

I wasn’t making a point about whether it’s public or private, I already relented it’s a clear separation of church and state. I was using an example to explain why it’s not a violation of freedom of religion as described in the 1st amendment.

 

Oddly enough, while I do believe it is a very clear violation of the separation of church and state, I'm not convinced this one example is necessarily a bad thing. Strip the religion from them as much as you reasonably can and they are outstanding rules for everyone on this planet to follow. God and religion really do not have shit to do with them in the end. Throw in the Golden Rule as a bow to tie it all up in. There is nothing wrong with people (young people in this case......which is when you want to reach them) being reminded on a daily basis to be good humans, respect others and don't fuck with lives that are not theirs. I spent 12 years in Catholic schools, and once all the extraneous bullshit is cleared away, the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule were most valuable lessons I learned. I'd much rather have the kids honor the Commandments instead of a brightly colored cloth that represents a country that does not necessarily honor them......

 

Sorry, wrong. I certainly can't argue with thou shalt not kill. But commandments about God and sabbath are explicitly religious and not just good advice. It also prohibits covering thy neighbor's goods, including wife. Establishing a wife as a possession.
Children and adults can be taught moral lessons without "no other gods before me".

 

I did mention stripping religion and the other extraneous stuff away…….

 

Unless the classrooms are stripping religion and the other extraneous stuff away it's not really relevant.

 

Then nothing is left. This is a religious text and you can't take out the religion.

 

You have a right to your religion in a private businesss this they can have their religious symbols. That same right is not available in a public building so they are still not a good comparison

 

Let's see 10 commandments in Schools good. Rainbow flag and Black lives matter flags, Bad. So what is the right pushing again? Not all inclusive that is for sure.

 

I know pal, reading is hard sometimes.
Take your time and try again. We’re all pulling for you.

 

Post the Bill of Rights.

 

Stupid law, but I wonder how much if it is a reaction to the insanity of the left. Why wasn't this done years ago? At least the 10 commandments are mostly good, as opposed to flying the flag of a domestic terror organization, and a flag celebrating groomers and sexual mutiliation of minors.

 

Trump loves breaking the commandments

 

Love that idea, but that’s a document NO american politician seems to understand. It’s like hieroglyphs to them.

 

And about half our population cheer-lead the stomping of those rights during the pandemic.

 

Since Trump claims he lives then, could a reporter ask him to recite the ten commandments? Or the Bill of Rights?
