Trump backs Louisiana law requiring Ten Commandments in schools

a reply to: RussianTroll

Still waiting for you to provide the Trump expose you threatened FlyersFan with.

And started counting down from 72 hours.

Where did that go if you dont mind me asking?

a reply to: Degradation33

I observe with regret how in the USA, instead of the 10 commandments of God, which Christ announced in his Sermon on the Mount, they are pushing through the “10 commandments of the builders of communism” (((

a reply to: RussianTroll

Just a point but at the Sermon on the Mount Jesus did not announce a new set of "Ten Commandments".

He simply expanded on the original "Ten Commandments" given to Moses.

Of all the things taxpayer's money is getting spent on, some posters telling kids not to lie, cheat, or steal is the least egregious.

That’s fair. Truly I agree 100%.

But the 10 Commandments that God gave to Moses and will consequently lead to you going to hell if you don’t follow them has no place in a classroom.

It’ll get a bit sticky more than the reading books near the napping corner pretty quick.

Considering the state is 34 in literacy or thereabouts they better hope the weans can read the posters.

Good news Andy!

The US is now trying out implementation of not teaching kids to read in schools.

I guess books are racist or something.

And woe betide the poor kid that steals another childs Purple Crayola.

I find it odd that ANYONE would find this a good idea.

We all know this opens up a HUGE can of worms. Just like overturning Roe V Wade.

But CHAOS is all Republicans have to offer. Well, except for hate.

a reply to: UKTruth

You just emphasised my point by bringing up Roe vs Wade being overturned.
It was overturned precisely because the 1970s decision was not supported by the US Constitution.
So, basterdise the Constitution when it suits and then complain when someone else does it.

a reply to: SteamyAmerican

Well, thats apt to go down like a lead balloon.

As long as they are not teaching them to burn them i suppose.

Yeah.

That’s a pretty good point there.

But certain folk often do this exact kinda thing.

And no I don’t agree with Trump promoting it for various reasons. Sure I don’t like him. But that doesn’t really apply here.

However. The main one being I would disavow it just as much as if he preached the Koran from the White House, or made the 1,000 gods mandated in order to pass a driver test at the DMV or made Buddhists not have to pay income taxes.

Why would it?

If you can’t read up on history, what stops them from implementing a whole new dystopian belief system?

So when a first grader asks, "What is adultery", should the teacher explain it's when Trump has sex on his third wife with a porn star and then pays hush money to cover it up to win an election?

And yes, I would expect other religions to sue the State to get access to the same "audience" that Christians seem to want to convert.

And we fought a revolution to escape this EXACT THING.

Trump hate will rot ones' soul.

We've had Muslim prayer rooms in schools for several years now. If schools can support the Islamic religion it seems only fair they do the same for Christianity.

P.S. Your Roe v Wade argument sucks.

Dont be silly SteamyAmerican.

They are apt to have a hard job repeating history and committing past transgressions.

If they destroy the very thing they choose to hate.

To be honest, humanity requires a new paradigm to follow, but they won't find one at the bottom of a pile of burning books that's for sure.

What tenet of Christianity requires followers to read the 10 Commandments every day?

a reply to: nugget1

Way back when 20+ years ago, I had a buddy try to make a White Club. Didn’t go well.

It was declined. Given I live in Cali. But still.

I still think he could’ve gotten paid on basis of discrimination because of the inclusivity of South East Asian Club, Meccha. African American Club, etc.

Just as following the 10 Commandments, 5 pillars, or the the Torah hasn’t either.

Yaddaknow what I mean?

So you would have no problem if Michigan passed a law requiring the Five Pillars of Islam to be displayed in every classroom?

What's the difference between that and the "5 pillars" of climate change or the ever expansive cult of "gender misappropriation", etc. etc.??

You may call them ideologies but that's merely cover for a massive reeducation agenda.

The fact that these "schools" are OBVIOUSLY turning out fire breathing SJW's seems to indicate an indoctrinated, fundamental change in beliefs and values being pumped through the classrooms. That's okay though? 🙄

I would say religion is being suppressed and replaced with the aforementioned "new world religion" pushed by the most evil "do-gooders" on the planet that know what's best for you better than you or God himself, if that's your flavor.

AI quantum computing is the god they seek. Great way to thumb your nose at the big guy by creating your own big guy. "Tower of Babel" much? Perhaps a bit more "golden calf" then??

a reply to: SteamyAmerican

It's if they know what they mean that's of concern.

Anyhoo as far as I'm aware Christianity, in all its various denominations.

Does not have a tenet that requires its followers to read the 10 Commandments every day.

a reply to: Degradation33

I think separation of church and state is important because just as you said whats good for the goose is good for the gander and the ABSOLUTE last thing we need with these impressionable kids is the satanic temple in elementary schools.

We already see what the "queer" acceptance movement has done in schools. This kids are non-binary before they even know what binary means! No. Absolutely no religion of any kind in schools. Because do what thou wilt is a lot easier and more fun especially for kids than follow these rules.

No.

That teacher should be at the very least fired for sexualizing first graders.

ETA: That's a pretty bad analogy, but it speaks to what you deem as appropriate for children which isn't really shocking.

Nobody is being required to read them; they're just on display.

Louisiana this week that makes it the first state to require the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom.

So, you think it's fair the Muslim religion gets catered to by being allowed their noon prayer hour in dedicated Muslim prayer rooms yet Christians can't have any part of their religion on school grounds?

People go out of their way looking for something to be offended by these days. The whole world is turning into one giant fight club.
