Louisiana lawmakers want Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms

[WinterBorn]

I'm curious why there is such a push for this.

 

[boevans]

Some lawmakers (probably not a majority in LA) want this.

 

[Crepitus]

So you do condone children pledging to the flag. Who knew?

You are too busy imagining what you wish I had said to really read/understand what I said.

Talk about a total waste of bandwidth...

Because theocracts gonna do shit like this.

 

[Crepitus]

Figures you don't get the concept of faith.

And I am an lapsed Catholic at best.

Why do I need facts for my point but you don't?

 

[Crepitus]

What "leaders"?

Mike Johnson for starters.

Its easier than actually doing something about your state's utterly abysmal education system.

The 10 Commandments are not universal. They come from the Old Testament. That is Judeo-Christian faiths.

We discussed this already, most of Islam is also based on the old testament. And other faiths have similar tenants to our commandments. What I find funny is you folks think it's a bad thing to teach kids faith and values. The lack of both are part of what's killing this country.

Louisiana lawmakers want Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms​

This is great news. I think it should be mandatory for all states to have the Ten Commandments in the classrooms ...

Screw the bible and post the law instead.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This is great news. I think it should be mandatory for all states to have the Ten Commandments in the classrooms, and I would add to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag ever morning.

I didn't know that. What did they replace it with?

The Supreme Court has been very clear that you can’t post the Ten Commandments in public buildings

But this 6-3 Conservative court has been reversing many previous decisions Conservatives don’t like. Maybe they think it is worth a try

So fuck the Constitution then...

In your case they probably should be teaching you the Constitution instead

Trump doesn't attend church on Sunday (Biden does...), he plays golf on Sunday generally.

4. Honor your father and your mother.

That's when Trump sought to change his father's will. Trump arranged for a lawyer to write an amendment called a codicil giving him control over the estate and to protect his inheritance from creditors. He then had two of his father's most trusted associates deliver it to Fred Trump Sr. as if it were a formality.

5. You shall not kill.

I say it could loose...

While the Christians think they got a religious court and in Barret the might have, but this court is more pro corporation than Christianity.

Look at the power Corporations have got from the Supreme court over the last few decades...

Compare this to EU... In EU the Corporations are there to serve the people, in US they given a bunch of special powers...

This court serves Conservatives and has reversed previously untouchable constitutional issues

Roe v Wade, affirmative action, environmental protection, worker rights

What do Cons have to lose by bringing up school prayer?

 

[Resnic]

I'm good with that.

You don't have to push kids to be christians, that's the job of parents to guide their kids towards Christianity.

But we should absolutely be putting concepts of it in front of kids. You don't even have to go to church to be taught stealing, killing, adultery, lying are bad things. Christianity has a ton of good morals, values and standards kids should learn lessons from, even if they don't go to church they should still be taught lessons on how to be a good person.

Granted just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you're a good. But there is a reason why America went from nothing to a major world super power in record time, and it's partially due to we were a Christian based nation. Doesn't mean we all were perfect but it's the basis our nation was founded on.

They are risking a Biden 13 man court...

They push too far the US people will see this court for what it is... Very undemocratic...

I say they should go for it, show us how radical you are...

Do we think Mitch McConnell is that religious? He started a moderate...

Mitch is about power and coprporates
