Zone1 The Ten Commandments don't apply to us.

[Hafar1014]

no, I am making a point. Putting something up on a wall isn't forcing compliance or even acceptance.

Its an endorsement and uncnsttituional

Applies to all Government laws

You are free to practice your religion. You just can’t force it on others.

A sign/poster hanging in a public place is not forcing any religion on anyone. At school we do have posters of quotes said by sports figures--and no one complains that we are forcing basketball, football, or any other sport on people. You cannot possibly be arguing that atheists--or people of a different faith--are so feeble that they cannot bear to read a quote from a religious text/figure without being totally crushed and/or brainwashed.

As you know, the government can endorse whatever they please. We see it every day. When it comes to religion, what they cannot do is to make a law establishing a state religion.

Apparently. Jes' sayin'.

They address the Moral Law, not Ceremonial or Civil. So yes, they do

 

[Cellblock2429]

They apply. Trump and his supporters, just do not know it. But, for that matter, there actually are a lot of people that act like they do not know it, MAGA is not alone in this fallacy. Support for the Ten Commandments as laws for living is obviously limiting, and their new god routinely ignores, and seems to be successfully doing as he please, so they do as they please, also and support him doing as he please.

/—-/ You clowns are getting more shrill every day. Have you tried meditation or Tai Chi?

So? Politicians make endorsements all of the time about any number of matters. It's called freedom of speech. Both freedom of speech and freedom of religion is Constitutional.

A school is an authority figure

Posting a sign that you should only worship a certain God equates to an establishment of religion

I am the Lord thy God, you shall have no Gods before me

there are no laws per the heavens ...

the spirit is inviolable than when it becomes broken by treachery and deceit those bibles are death traps.

an absurdity no free spirit should tolerate, not from the heavens - from phonies like abraham and moses, stone throwing jews terrorizing the world for their own self interest.


to give up your heart - ever.

Please rephrase since I have no idea what you are trying to say.
That mankind is fallible? If so, agreed.

That all holy books are full of ancient wisdom but also written by man? If so, agreed.

The government cant endorse any religion. A person can the government cant. Thats not hard to understansd

It doesn't matter what it was. It still needed to float, it still needed to be stable in a storm. It needed to be a ship, because we've never made "floating warehouses" out of wood. Because THEY SINK.

You've never seen a house floating downriver in a flood?

The definition of a ship includes the ability to navigate. The ark simply went where the flood took it. For more details read the story.

Whenever a poster uses the word 'left' as if it means something you know you are in Dumbville. As far as the Ten Commandments, they are a pretty good guide even for us non-religious.

Why The Ten Commandments Still Belong in Our Society - Christian Legal Society

by Art Lindsley As attorneys, you have spent your lives studying, understanding, and applying this nation’s laws. You know that the Judeo-Christian principles—especially the precepts contained in the Ten Commandments—have influenced the United States legal system to some extent. But how does...

but no one is mandating a compliant behavior. Posting something for information or education isn't the same as enforcing a belief in the content. Or do you think it is, and you get offended when someone puts up the quote "Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself" because nice behavior should not be mandated if the source if biblical?

It's intimidation to follow on path. That said, if you're fine with also putting up quotations from the Quran or the Tibetan Book of the Dead, then that's not pushing one particular religion.

They actually were the civil law of Israel. Even Jesus acknowledged that. However, they are the moral law of the Church but only if applied in the higher moral sense.

Old Covenant: Abstain from evil.
New Covenant: Do what is good.

so anything put on a wall is an endorsement? Do you really think that? If I put a quote from any religious text, that is a governmenta; endorsement of that religion? Really?

 

[Woodznutz]

There is no reason for any religious script to be in any government office. Government doesn't do religion. Government (supposedly) does governing. So, out the CONSTITUTION in places of government.

There's a big difference between having a quote from a guy who was trying to use politics to make people's lives better, than one about a religion.

The problem with having religious quotes in a place, like a court, is that if a Muslim goes to court and sees Christian symbols or quotes, then they're going to think the whole system is against them. As you said, it's bordering on (or going way beyond) government endorsing religion.

We know plenty of people who want the government to be religious, to follow their religion. If you give them an inch, they'll take your dick.

Many in government wish with all their hearts that people would follow the moral tenets of their religion. It would make life so much better in America.

You think a school is an authority figure? Then you haven't spent much time in a classroom.

 

[Woodznutz]

Its an endorsement and unconstitutional

But it's not a law. "Congress shall make no law..."

Do you believe that if a congressperson goes to church that they are endorsing their religion in violation of the Constitution? What if what they believe is 'right' in voting for or against a bill is influenced by their religious belief. Is there a test for that? Should they be impeached if found guilty?

 

[rosends]

It's intimidation to follow on path.

you can't really think that. I mean, having spent the last 30+ years as a school teacher, I can tell you that you are wrong.

That said, if you're fine with also putting up quotations from the Quran or the Tibetan Book of the Dead, then that's not pushing one particular religion.

but if you think that posting anything is intimidation, how can you allow multiple intimidation?

 

[Hafar1014]

But it's not a law.

The SC ruled on this so yes a state endorsement has the weight of law. Do you want Sharia laws posted in the schools
