Zone1 The Ten Commandments don't apply to us.

[Woodznutz]

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

Most understand that the ten commandments are really just the ten 'suggestions'.

A school is an authority figure

Grin. When was the last time you were in school?

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

Is posting a sign that you should only vote for a certain candidate an order? Does it establish that candidate in office? Is it brainwashing? Or, are you suggesting when it comes to religion, people are feeble minded? Every American should be endorsing the freedom of religion and religious expression.

As for your second statement: Are you in agreement with it?

 

[rightwinger]

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.

That is why the very first amendment prohibits it

 

[Meriweather]

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

The government cannot establish a religion. Any government official/employee can endorse a religion. Perhaps you are wondering if I am being truthful? Check with AI. Endorsement is fine. Establishing a religion is not.

The sign does not suggest it is a good idea to worship God, it commands them to do so

I agree most kids will ignore it or laugh it off.
But that does not stop religious politicians from forcing their religion on others. It is what they do.

Also why it is illegal

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.

Yes...and it's full of water as it slowly sinks.

Do you really believe the Earth flooded so much that it covered Mt. Everest? That Noah collected all the animals and insects on the planet in one boat?

Or is it more likely that the story is apocryphal and explains the rainbow see in the sky after a storm?

The time between Noah and when Moses wrote the story down is 800-900 years. That's a lot of campfire stories. Anyone who has played the game of "Telephone" knows how stories evolve over time.

FWIW, 800 years ago for us was 1226 AD. Genghis Khan was building the Mongolian Empire, the Incan Empire was forming in the Andes, and the Fourth Crusade has recently sacked Constantinople. Think of all the changes since then....and we had writing to document those changes. Moses had campfire stories.

What the constitution actually states as far as religion is concerned is the fact that every citizen has the right OF religion, any religion they choose......not the right FROM everyone else's religious choice. Everyone, regardless of religion has FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Attempting to silence anyone in public, regardless of faith.......is not a form of democracy, its a form of radical despotic tyranny. They do not want religion forced upon them........but they want their minority non-religious opinions forced upon EVERYONE.

The radicals who attempt to redefine the 1st amendment replace OF as a myth with FROM. Their logic, as with most leftist's logic fails to read the entire context of the 1st amendment, which directly follows freedom OF religion by explaining that no one can force any one religion upon you, making it a law of the land.....i.e., ESTABLISHING any one faith over another.

I challenge anyone to find the words FROM religion in the entire 1st amendment text. As always.........the word FROM is not stated in the constitution, FROM came about by a radical interpretation at the sound of a gavel, not any words written on the contract among the states known as the United States Constitution.

Precedence is the favorite word of leftists.........but as demonstrated, legal precedence can be removed just as easily as it was OPINED into law. Example: Roe v. Wade, Voting Gerrymandering.......etc.,

This is why the left attempts to load the federal court system with radical judges who often ignore the contextual integrity of the Constitution.

Not on the taxpayer's dime they can't.

FWIW, if you kick the wall down about religious preferences in public institutions, then you open it up for any religion to do the same. Is that what you really want?

A story about a magical boat that held two of every animal on earth is a fairy tale no matter how you cut it

Do you want Sharia laws posted in the schools

As long as it states it is Sharia Law, I have no problem with that at all. It can be among other faith posts.

 

[Woodznutz]

So the government wants people to behave but cannot tell them how to do it? Oh wait! Aren't there laws against murder, theft, perjury, adultery?

What's the difference between God's law against murder and man's law against murder? Oh wait (again)! Man's law allows murderers to get away with it (now I get it).

Why do you think the flood covered Mt. Everest in the story. Who was up there that needed drowning?

Noah didn't collect the animals. God brought the creatures that he wanted saving to the ark.

Putting up posters in schools are not done on the "taxpayer's dime", any more than are posters hailing any particular sports team.

Have you read my posts? I am insisting every/any religion signs (and even atheist quotes/information) should be allowed. That is what freedom of religion is all about.

I believe it, so shoot me.

Forget "magical". What is the theme/lesson the account presents?

Where in the Bible does it say the flood covered Mt. Everest?

 

[Meriweather]

But that does not stop religious politicians from forcing their religion on others. It is what they do.

You have had religious politicians actually forcing his/her religion on you? How did they force you? And which ones?

Bad Bob thinks that's what the story says.

One Nation under God
In God We Trust
Forced prayer before public meetings
Mandating posting of the Ten Commandments

All from politicians

It's a public wall, which taxpayers did pay for. Are the poster hangers paying rent or can anyone hang up any poster they like? Something like the one below?

Sorry, I haven't been reading all of your posts, but I agree that if one religious poster is allowed, then all should be allowed.
