    “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.
