Louisiana will become the first state to require that public universities and K-12 schools display the Ten Commandments in every classroom after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to push forward new

Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

    “The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. J. Adam Bass, R-Bossier City, told the Senate. Rather, it is the Ten Commandments’ "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

    There is NO WAY to say this with a straight face. We all know what you’re fucking doing, just admit it.

      Ah, yes. Very foundational to our legal system. The First Commandment (using the version usually touted by evangelicals):

      You shall have no other gods.

      That’s why we didn’t pass the Bill of Rights with the US Constitution. Because the First Amendment there states people shall have freedom of religion, and that would contradict the First Commandment.

      It’s the power of belief. When you train your brain to take things on faith despite of evidence, that’s what you get.

      We historically feared satanism too. Should probably post their commandments “so that the kids know what to watch for”. Right next to the biblical ones.

      1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
      2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
      3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
      4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
      5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
      6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
      7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
      8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
      9. Do not harm little children.
      10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
      11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

    How can these people say they love America, the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers when they’re doing the opposite of what they wanted? Every religious law added to government sets us 100 years back.

      it’s actually very simple. The Republicans in charge are evil and don’t care, while their followers are too uneducated to know any better.

    We, the worshipers of Enlil, shall not be denied our representation!

    The Students of the Land known as Louis-anna shall learn of the Mooring Rope Between Heaven and Earth!

      Not even that complicated; just invite a religious scholar to explain what Jesus said, starting with caring for hungry people and immigrants and in general literally just what he taught and what he cared about

      They’ll shut that shit down like a female student with unpermitted clothing

        Wouldn’t even be the first time this month that a bunch of religious zealots and government thugs stormed a school full of peace-loving hippies and dragged them off by their hair.

    I hope it will be posted on classrooms with appropriate historical context and commentary. Also aren’t there different versions of the ten commandments anyway depending on your exact religion?

      The Big Ten were written at a time when paganism/animism was the dominant religious view and the idea of monotheism was weird and foreign. You really had to hammer those home early on, because one minute you’re up on a mountain having the acid trip spiritual moment to define a millennium and the next you’re down in the valley watching all your friends jerk off to a big bronze bull just like you told them not to!

      When your parish flock is that prone to stray, I’m almost surprised they don’t have a few more.

    Nice picture frame with large letters stating legally required 10 commandments. And then below that in mini font the text and little manlgnifying glass on a rope.

    It always amuses me when these pseudo-Christians have to reach back to the Old Testament to justify their fascist foaming - it’s almost as if the parts that are actually based on Christ contains nothing of value to them.

      What is funny to me is that the part of the Bible they ignore is the Christian half. The old testament is closer to the Quran or Torah then they probably realize…
