Louisiana orders every classroom to display Ten Commandments

I think they want to brainwash every child into becoming a Christian. The poster of the 10 commandments will hypnotize and seduce the children into believers. Its mere presence will turn thousands of children into evangelicals.

The most likely outcome is it will end up being allowed by the current SCOTUS (probably overturning some settled case law on some novel understanding of history) and other religions will be allowed to have posters but won't actually be able to.

Louisiana will continue to be a poor, ignorant state with bottom 10% stats in every QoL metric.

What religion are you, pp? Does your religion teach you to call your fellow man poor and ignorant? Does your religion teach you to disparage poor people or uneducated people? Does your religion teach you to help poor and uneducated people?

Are you able to stay on topic? Can you build a coherent argument based in reality and fact? I'm beginning to believe conservative and religious beliefs really are just a symptom of the weak-minded.

Yes.

The red states stay poor and undereducated by design. I don’t see having religious beliefs in opposition to being educated and believing that science is real but these dreadful “Christians” do. I believe in God and consider myself a cultural member of the religion in which I grew up, but I believe in the separation of church and state. This is abominable.

You missed the part where you should not judge other people. You are judging a bunch of people you don’t even know as dreadful. That’s close minded and wrong. You don’t know anyone is dreadful until you get to know them on a personal level.

So far: Louisiana is a poor, ignorant state.
Other Christians (the ones who don’t think like meeeeeee) are dreadful.

What a bunch of sweethearts posting here. Real role models for children.

Don't pretend you have any moral high ground here whatsoever.

Whatever "religion" it is that you and your Louisiana Republicans are certainly teaches them to disparage the poor, to disparage anyone who disagrees with them, to disrespect their religion if they are not Christian, to disrespect them if they are atheist, to disparage them if they come from another land, it teaches them to be greedy, selfish, and short-sighted. It teaches them to NOT follow Christ's teachings about feeding the poor, tending to the sick, the elderly and the infirm, offering refuge and shelter to those who need it.

If you don't understand that or recognize that about today's GOP, then you'd better take some time to step back and do some deep soul searching because you are completely blind.

Christianity doesn’t teach people to disparage the poor or uneducated. It doesn’t teach Christians to be greedy or to hate people who are different than they are. Christianity doesn’t teach people to be short sighted or disrespectful. That’s ridiculous. You are making up so many things that are really rude and terrible about Christianity, it’s hard to take you seriously.

Christianity doesn’t teach those things, the right wingers have perverted Christianity to teach those things. Prosperity gospel says if you’re poor, that’s God’s punishment for you sucking. Bootstraps! “*uck your feelings!”

Those who are Republican and “Christian” are the exact type of worshipper Jesus talked against. You guys are the opposite in every way of what Jesus wanted us to do. You may claim his mantle, but you are wrong in all regards. You see the least among us and you knock them down, kick them in the stomach and rub dirt in their eyes.

And all that is apart from the fact that we are supposed to have religious freedom in this country because our founders knew what established religion does. You… do not. You’re happy for fascism to show up and establish a state religion, knock women back to the dark ages and thump your chest. The commandments are a religious artifact and have no business in a school outside of class that discusses them in a literature or cultural way.

There are millions of Christians in the United States who do not vote for republicans and are not conservative. You are ranting and unhinged. This thread is about a law that La passed, not about attacking Christians. I never fail to hear hateful, intolerant comments from people who call Christians hateful and intolerant.

You have a problem with Christianity, and I don’t care if you do. You don’t have to like Christianity or Christians. But you have no right to tell people how they live their life or practice their religion. You are obsessed with judging people you have never met a single time in your life and judging them evil.

You're confused. The overwhelming majority of Christians who don't vote Republican typically ARE NOT the ones foisting the Bible and Ten Commandments on public schools and other places where they don't belong. It's the conservative Christians who DO vote Republican who are pushing this stuff.

The majority of the minority? That's some pretzel logic right there.

Huh? What majority of minority? Nobody said that, and even if they did what's your argument against the premise here? You're still confused.

Most Americans who identify as Christian don't think we need things like the Ten Commandments in schools. It's only the ones who identify as conservative Christians that do. And most Americans who identify as conservative Christian vote Republican. Those are simple, straight-forward statements. If they confuse you then all I have for you is a smile and letting you know your lingering confusion is entirely a "you" problem.

The majority of Christians vote republican. That is well established.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/08/30/most-white-americans-who-regularly-attend-worship-services-voted-for-trump-in-2020/

So you are saying "The overwhelming majority of Christians who don't vote Republican typically" (i.e. the minority of Christians) "ARE NOT the ones foisting the Bible and Ten Commandments on public schools and other places where they don't belong. "

That's the pretzel logic.

The poll says 40% of Christians do not vote Republican. And of the 59% who do vote Republican I doubt most of them are chomping at the bit for having the Ten Commandments in public schools. I try to give Republicans and Christians more credit than assuming they are that dumb. Not all that pretzely as far as I'm concerned.

To refer to "the majority of christians who do not vote republican" is misleading because it is the minority of republicans.

LMAO. The Christians who do not vote Republican are not "a minority of Republicans." They ARE NOT REPUBLICANS AT ALL. Were you the one complaining about "pretzel logic" when you fail at even the most basic logic?

And again, it's not the non-Republican Christians who are the problem people trying to shove religion into schools and government.

First of all, I QUOTED YOU (assuming you are that PP).

Second "Christians who vote republican are not republicans" is about as useless and pedantic a claim as I can think of and offers nothing to the discussion. It also was not part of the initial claim.

I stand behind it all and think it speaks for itself to anyone reading. You may continue to try and backpedal and strawman but it's all there.

Your reading comprehension is abysmal and you can't get anything straight. It's no wonder you are so confused. How embarrasing for you.

I'm a non-Republican Christian and I'm aghast. I don't think it belongs in a public school. Private Christian or other parochial school, sure. But not public.

I'd tend to think that Republicans with a brain who aren't Christian would likely agree.

Here's a thought exercise - what if the next governor of Louisiana were a Muslim, and he suddenly came out and decreed that all LA public schools should be made into madrasas to teach the word of Muhammad?

By the logic of "nothing wrong with the 10 Commandments in schools and it's freedom of religion" you would be fine with this?

Every public school classroom in Louisiana has been ordered to display a poster of the Ten Commandments - a move that civil liberties groups say they will challenge.
The Republican-backed measure is the first of its kind in the US, and governs all classrooms up to university level. Governor Jeff Landry signed it off on Wednesday.
The new law describes the commandments as "the foundational documents of our state and national government".

Children nowadays don’t even read. They watch videos and shorts. TikTok and YouTube generation. If it’s not on their phones, they don’t see it.

Those ridiculous little 10C posters will get ignored like all the other wall drivel in classrooms. College students especially will ignore them and likely vandalize them in some silly way.

In essence, they will be treated like the joke they are.

Oh good, then it will be ok to put the fundamental tenets of the Satanic Temple right next to them?

It is immaterial what you think about the Ten Commandments. We do not live in a theocracy governed by one religion. If you want your kid to be surrounded by biblical teachings, then enroll him/her in a religious school.

So not killing people and not lying and not stealing are religious teachings?

It's all good. Print them and put them up everywhere! I can't believe they weren't put up sooner. I look forward to when the commandments appear in all schools and public buildings in my state. We need to show everyone who we are: a Christian nation.

Except the 1st Amendment clearly states that we are not a Christian nation. If you want a Christian nation, go create one. Only problem is that you'll actually have to act like a Christian is so-said nation.

Well you can teach your children the Ten Commandments are shameful and that they are free to do everything the Ten Commandments says not to do, with pride. Problem solved.

Where do you get that anyone is saying the Ten Commandments are shameful?

No one is saying that.

Actually someone said that and claimed the 10 commandments were written by a bunch of drunk guys. The moderator deleted the post but not the quote.

Someone feels very strongly that their children not be shamed into not murdering or lying or stealing.

You know darn well they are not talking about the secular laws (that also happen to be commandments) against murder, fraud, and theft. They are talking about worshipping a particular god, not having idols (some religions do and those are allowed to be practiced in the United States of America), and keeping holy a particular faith's sabbath, even though they may be of a faith with a different or no sabbath.

In any case, this is clearly unconstitutional and won't last.

Landry has said "I can't wait to be sued." I guess he feels like he has a chance to win given the current SCOTUS.

Yup.
