Only commandments 5, 8 and 9 are likely to have any direct relevance to the lives of children. The rest are vices that most children are unlikely to be aware of (but which they might aspire to achieve in later life). Of course these commandments will not apply to the politicians who impose them as that would be far too inconvenient 🤷♀

@SW-User Who are you talking to where you say it's baseless fantasy? I have them blocked.

God is true and the Bible is true, even if most things taught about them are lies

@SW-User I don't think that's ever once been the thing to lead someone away from believing in God
In fact, if we look clearly at what exists it's clearly an intelligent functional system and scientific principles tell us that order is not obtained randomly, that it takes an act with energy and effort to maintain order in chaos
Also, there are so many parts of a cell that have to function in order for it to work, the most basic cell never would have formed randomly
You can sit there and convince me you think Cthulhu made the universe, but science itself supports creation not chaos

teaching children about God and religious faith is no different than passing on moral values, culture, or scientific understanding, and is vital for their spiritual upbringing
religion is a form of passing on cultural traditions, and that it may not strictly be different from secular education in that regard

Expose the things truths I say. Let them be scrutinized. I don't like that they're mandatory. But if they are then let the kids pick them apart with their logic. Some say it will do the opposite effect than what the religious-minded intended for it to do.

@SW-User Catholic schools accept non-Catholic students, too (at least they did when I was in school). A lot of the ones I knew thought the teachings were ridiculous. I simply meant the atmosphere wasn’t unfamiliar to me.
I left the church about 30 years ago.

@bijouxbroussard I came from an Irish Catholic family. I never believed a word I was taught.

@bijouxbroussard The ten commandments seem common to all Abrahamic religions but not to people of other beliefs. I'd point out that these rules predate any religion. They're necessary to community living.

@SW-User There are people from all over the globe here, and not all practice Abrahamic religions. But as taxpayers they are being compelled to pay for the Christian indoctrination of all public school children (including possibly their own). There already exist Christian schools for parents who want their kids so taught—separation of Church and State should allow state public schools to remain secular.
