Texas Senate approves bills requiring 10 Commandments in K-12 classrooms, Bible time in school

[EMH]

Rastafarians?

As soon as one religion is OK, the courts will say they all are, and that is the point.

Christians in America over the past 50 years have gone from mostly keeping religion private to stuffing it up everyone's butt everywhere.

The dumbest are the worst.

First lesson

Definition of SOON = more than 2000 years from now

Sadly this is not gonna withstand federal court scrutiny. Bring on Texit.

Just as dumb as Trump trying to ban muslims from certain countries...

You either understand BASIC LAW or you don't.

I think the Tea Party ultimate goal was a theocracy and the Trump clan are just carrying on. In a theocracy you get to pick a state religion. Seems to be the way we are headed.

I have no problem with religion in school. We are a Juedo-Christian nation and religion has played an important part in forming our Nation. But to avoid the government establishing a national religion ever child in that school district who is not Christian should get equal time. So if you have a Muslim kid, or a Satanist kid...well you get it.

Well....no, we weren't founded on satanist or muslim or hindu or buddhism........ Fast forward to present, we're more like sodom and gomorrah at this point.

So which religions do you think the Federal Government should approve?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I never understood why anyone would insist that children be taught the Ten Commandments

The first demands that Children worship God
Then it insists they attend Church, not question the existence of God and not make graven images

It is blatant establishment of religion in school

If we actually followed these commandments the US wouldn't be in such moral rot/decay.

None.

 

[mak2]

OH, sorry, so you do not approve of the 10 Commandments and the Bible in school?

They were in schools when I went. Nobody was shooting up the country. Yeah, they should be in schools. They are part of our heritage.

Should it be the Christian 10 Commandments or the Catholic 10 Commandments?

But government could tell Hindus they cannot have their holy books and symbols?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The 10 commandments in exodus. Catholic commandments? Lol.

They're not part of the heritage or the founding of this country. Sure they could.

 

[mak2]

Theocracy.

How does not worshiping idols and not coveting affect our morals?

We already have laws against killing, stealing and false witness.

Yes, they have a different version. Their version was posted in the OP

Worshipping idols is the exact reason why we are such a depraved nation. Remember the golden calf? Nobody said anything about worshipping a stone tablet.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Currently our govt worships the climate change commandments.

Or the Orange Messiah.

Orange man pushed the magical snake juice and everyone climbed all over each other to get a squirt. Talk about some idolatry.
