Well, I mean… Besides the first two those are not the worst rules to live by. As an agnostic I’m obviously against pushing your religion onto others but I think I’ll reserve my outrage for something more important.
They are, in fact, the worst rules to live by. Ignoring the fact that there are multiple version of them and they’re not even the ones the Bible actually calls the ten commandments, here’s a brief rundown:
- You shall have no other gods before Me. - How is this a good rule to live by? Why does everyone have to worship Yaweh?
- You shall make no idols. - Why does this matter?
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. - Or this?
- Keep the Sabbath day holy. - Or this?
- Honor your father and your mother. - What if your mother beats you? What if your father rapes you?
- You shall not murder. - Okay, sure, based on your definition of murder I guess one good rule in there.
- You shall not commit adultery. - What if your partner is okay with it? Is it still wrong?
- You shall not steal. - Not even food to feed your starving children?
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. - Okay, sure, lying is usually a bad thing. Not always, but usually.
- You shall not covet. - Good luck with that one. Even Elon Musk wants things he can’t have.
So other than ‘don’t murder’ and ‘don’t lie,’ which both can arguably have circumstances in which they are necessary, they don’t seem like good rules to live by to me.
Satan was the good guy.
Hey who wants to give several million of the state budget to law firms?! Yeah!
Morans.
Often times news upsells what’s happening in their title or with vague language in the article. I’ve become instinctively skeptical of outrageous headlines.
I went and checked the text of the bill itself. Wow. It’s exactly what it says on the tin of the news article. Not even an attempt to vague it up in the bill’s language. There’s no wishy washy way to think it means anything but the biblical Ten Commandments, in straight forward language. The bill wants them posted in every classroom.
This obviously violates the Louisiana state constitution and the U.S. Constitution.
Were you unaware of the state of Louisiana or something? Idk why anyone would find this hard to believe unless they’re a little new to American politics
They want it challenged in the 5th District for appeals so they can run it up to the stacked SCOTUS.
The SCOTUS may be stacked but not even this court would agree with something so egregious. There needs to be at least a veil of plausible deniability for them to point to at least.
Louisiana: Has one of the largest shortages of teachers across the country
Also Louisiana: Let’s potentially alienate teachers in our state
Conservatives just don’t think, do they?
