Louisiana passes law that all schools and universities must display the Ten Commandments

@Picklebobble2 I taught my kids to carry to their guns hidden inside their bibles.
The one you read stays at home.

@Reason10 rants Oooh, goody, a statistical claim. Got any evidence??

@Reason10 Yes do you have evidence? Thanks

@badminton Jesus Christ forgives!

@badminton So now YOU are calling for religious indoctrination?

@SatanBurger so have they

@NativePortlander1970 they got around the clause somehow

@NativePortlander1970 posting the 10 commandments isn't congress establishing a religion...


The context of the 1st Amendment is lost on so many people, that it no longer surprises me anymore.

It was never written to forbid religious worship in government as so many erroneously claim; it was designed to prevent government from adopting a state religion & perpetrating inquisitions & persecution against those who didn't believe what they told you to believe and how to believe it...

like the Church of England and Catholic Church have done for hundreds of years, both of which are oblivious to actual scripture and sound Christian doctrine; i.e. they used religion to exert power, not honor Christ...

The anglo-saxons, viking converts, etc. (the predecessors of England as a country) were in reality, no better than the pagans they claimed to abhor. They weren't the Godly people history makes them out to be.

Our forefathers realized all this of course, and wanted to ensure that history didn't repeat itself in the new world...


But to claim that government cannot adhere to any precepts of religion is pure lunacy, as the rules & laws that govern society, morality, ethics, etc. are all based on scripture. We have the Constitution because of the Bible, not in spite of it.

To completely oppose any religious society is to endorse complete anarchy & chaos.

@JSul3 indeed

@Dolimyte If the school was mandating that everyone had to SALUTE the First Commandment, you might have a point. All Louisiana did was give the schools the FREEDOM to post that document.

@boudinMan Separation of Church and State is about protecting the minorities from the majority religion. That’s the point. And if I’m not mistaken the state of Arkansas believes that Satanism qualifies as a religion. The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that because the Ten Commandments were displayed on government property that Satanists were welcome to display their statue of Baphomet in front of the courthouse. I seem to recall that quite a lot of conservatives were “totally pissed” about that, and yet it happened in one of the reddest states in the country. You think it can’t happen where you live too, you’re wrong.

@boudinMan
Christianity is the largest brranch of Judaism. All Christians, regardless of demonination, are Jews by religiion.

@JPWhoo Different countries have different cultures, and ours is very different from other countries.

@RedBaron I don’t think we’re that different. Let’s just try it and see.

@JPWhoo It’s not up to anyone on here.

@Ynotisay

Exactly, we forget that "Freedom of Religion," also include those who choose "no religion." 🙂

@calicuz Excuse me? Freedom of religion does not mean freedom FROM religion. Two completely different prepositions.

@Reason10

No one is stopping anyone from practicing their religion, and I see no one trying to change that.

@specman Okay, here we go with this one again. Because of course, the Christians invented the idea that killing and stealing are bad, right? There were no civilizations before Christianity was founded that came up with the idea that maybe we shouldn't murder other humans or take their stuff?

Oh, and by the way...
Just because a religion is popular, that doesn't mean you get to cram it down my throat.

@LordShadowfire the morals and values! Not the ones that the left has been trying to shove down people’s throats,

@specman Okay, so which morals and values are you talking about? The part where Jesus said that slavery was good? The part where rаре victims have to marry their rаріst? The part where it's okay to put your kid?

@JSul3 Of course, There are NAZIS who can afford lawyers.Seig Heil.

@Reason10 He is violating the separation of church and state.
Can the post the Koran....the Rules of the Church of Satan...etc?

@Roundandroundwego @Roundandroundwego It would seem like the Nazi left has no problem stripping Constitutional rights away from the people when it suits their purposes.

@JSul3 Nope. It was Hitlary.And she was right. Saddam Hussein Obama WAS born in Kenya.

@strictdadhusbandanduncleinpa Wrong post for this reply. You missed the net.

@SW-User it needed to be said

That's a very BIGOTED thing to say.

@James25 I think Bill and Ted said it best when they said "Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes"

@SW-User ...and be good to your Mum and Dad.

@SarahAndSamantha Bill and Ted were indeed wise

@calicuz I wish you goose steppers would read the Constitution. You have no idea what you're talking about, Adolf.

@Reason10

Please point out some specifics, I have read the constitution, and I see it working fine in it's current form. 😎

@Reason10 You hear cases about cruel nun convents in the past, whipping people and general sadism. Does immorality start at Bible study for you? I'm curious

@SatanBurger yeah, I think I saw a thing on the news the other day about cruel nuns whipping people 😄

@MaBalzEsHari Republicans know how to READ the Constitution,.

You goose steppers apparently think the Constitution just means expanding the welfare state.

@HoraceGreenley

1: It is a direct violation of law handed down by the Supreme Court in 1980.

2: It would not be a violation of law if other religious documents were hung as well, like the 10 pillars of Islam, or the Ten Words in the Torah.

@JPWhoo What religion? The Old Testament covers both Christianity and Judaism. So now you hate TWO religions?
Read the document. It says CONGRESS can pass no laws establishing a religion.

Last time I checked, Congress had nothing to do with the Louisiana decision.

@Reason10 I don’t hate two religions, but two religions are being established and that is wrong and unconstitutional. Louisiana’s state Congress passed that law, so it’s still in violation of the First Amendment.

@MarmeeMarch As if they can read any better in the inner city.

@bookerdana The Republic survived Nazi regimes like Carter, KKKlinton, Saddam Hussein Obama and Unelected Pedophile Joe. Some how a list of the Ten Commandments on the wall doesn't even begin to arise to as high a threat level.

@Reason10 Racist much?

@SarahAndSamantha There's about 10,000 distinct religions in the world today. So, if the fake Ten Commandments can be posted in the schools so must the rules of the other 9,999 religions must be posted as well

@Diotrephes yup. no disagreements here.

@Reason10 That's funny, I took bible as literature as my English elective my senior year of high school, the first day was like a worship service, I was the ONLY Atheist that signed up, I never went again after that, transferring to photojournalism.

@NativePortlander1970 They had that in the public schools I attended after I left that Catholic school. As you did, we studied religion as a form of literature.

@Reason10 That class my senior year was a church within school as a disguise, it was discovered the teacher was a youth group leader within her own sunday congregation.
