Yes especially as they are saying classrs have to have a PROTESTANT version of the 10 Commandments. Even though more Louisianans are Catholic. Hope at least some Catholics will rise up and complain about being run over by Protestants. Time for some sectarian warfare!!


They are the same 10 Commandments.


Hahahaha. Talk to me about graven images.



Yes. If you asked 100 church going Catholics to define graven image, 100 would probably get it wrong.

Not to me. I don't recall there being any government mandates to put rainbow flags in classrooms the way you want to put the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

Plus, I would argue that the first 4 commandments like "shall have no other gods" and "no graven images" and "sabbath" have nothing whatsoever to do with actual morality.

The only ones that are bonafide moral tenets are "honor thy mother and father" "thou shalt not murder" "thou shalt not commit adultery" "thou shalt not steal" "thou shalt not bear false witness" and (to a lesser extent) "thou shalt not covet" and NONE of those are things that Judeochristian religion uniquely brought down from on high by Moses as they are broad moral tenets recognized by most people around the globe in most cases predating and independent of Judeochristian teachings.


Also haven’t been told a million times that elementary schools kids are too young to hear about sex in school? Why are we suddenly clamoring to explain adultery to them?

Nobody is forcing the teachers to actually teach anything. They just have to have the thing on their wall.

It's not my opinion. I am no scholar of ancient religious texts. But experts in such things explain that there are many different translations and versions of the 10 commandments.

I think there is a problem with morality in this country. When you have 50% of voters supporting a man who has repeatedly shown that he is not a moral person, there’s a problem. Until republicans can say we will only support people who follow the Ten Commandments then it’s hypocritical to post the list everywhere and tell other people to follow them. Shameless.

Here is one summary. The way the commandments are posted gives an indication of what is the preferred religion.

The democrats are more satanic so it’s the lesser of 2 evils

Some Democrats are sinners, sure. But they're not a cult that worships a guy who has stolen repeatedly and cheated on all three of his wives.

Catholic commandments aren’t taken from Exodus 20, thus are not biblical.

The commandments are in the Bible three other times besides Exodus 20.

And?

So they could be not taken from Exodus 20 and still be biblical.

I’m a Catholic was raise in a very strict, you will miss your state tennis match to attend d Church on a Holy Day of Obligation home— and who has had 6 of the 7 sacraments (almost died as an infant, got last rites; clearly not Holy Orders). We don’t do graven images. So that’s one vote against them. 99 more Catholics want to chime in.

Kid raises hand. “Mrs. Teacher, what adultery?” When Mrs. Teacher says “you need to ask your parents,” two things happen. One, the Moms Of Liberty blow a gasket when Larla comes home and says “Mrs. Teacher says I should ask you what adultery is,” and two, every classroom has that kid who goes and looks it up in the dictionary, because the teacher is clearly uncomfortable and won’t answer the question (and I know this because I was 100% the kid who would have headed straight for the dictionary, and then read the definition to the class— and one of my kids was also that kid— which occasionally ended badly). Also, coveting your neighbors wife makes for an interesting discussion.

Meanwhile, Harry Potter is deemed unfit for the classroom library. Umm. Okay then.
