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.


IMG-1671

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.


That’s your opinion. I hope it lasts, because I work in a school and the students are being failed by their parents grievously. It’s truly sad.

How will slapping something on the wall in your classroom help your students, or their parents?


Are you an educator? Please, if you are not, get your teaching degree and certification and help teach kids. There’s a massive teacher shortage. It would be great for people like you to enter the classroom and help educate kids.


DP... That TOTALLY didn't answer the question. Again, how exactly will slapping a poster of the Ten Commandments help students?


How does it hurt?


it can marginalize people who do not adhere to a religion to which this is dogma.


It also weakens parents' authority to decide whether and what religious information their children should be exposed to. I thought Republicans were all about "parental rights"--doesn't this go against that?

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.


The 9th commandment addresses lying. Where is the lie in the PP's post?

By making kids who believe in different religions or no religion feel like outsiders.

I would love to see the reactions from the MAGAs if a Hindu teacher put up the Yamas and Niyamas in her classroom. Or better, if a Muslim teacher posted some quotes from the Quran.


Because the 10 Commandments are only for Christians, non-Christian people will feel like outsiders because they believe murder, theft, lying, etc, should not be forbidden?


Are you really this dumb. Many non-Christians don't believe that they should worship only one god. Or that idols are bad. Or that they should observe the sabbath.


I don’t agree with the atheists and anti-theists posting here that are calling people names, insulting LA, insulting poor people, insulting people who were not privileged enough to obtain a quality education, insulting people who have a different belief system than they do, is a good thing. Nor does doing so indicate any respect for other people. Nor does doing so indicate that the poster is educated themselves. It reflects very poorly on the poster.

Insulting people and calling people names, disrespecting their beliefs, is unAmerican and disrespectful. I would be ashamed if I were an atheist or agnostic, because the anti-theists posting here display the negative attributes they say religious people do. They aren’t making a good case for the intelligence and good morals/ethics purportedly possessed by non-religious people. It’s actually very off putting. Hating people you have never met is a terrible way to describe your world view. Judging an entire religion is a terrible way to show how good and kind you are. It does quite the opposite.

To be fair, the 10 Commandments were born of the Old Testament, which is Jewish, but otherwise, yes.

yes. There is. I don't want my kids to be shamed into behavior based on a stupid book written a couple thousand years ago by a bunch of drunk guys.


Which specific commandments do you think people shouldn’t be “shamed” for? The Ten Commandments are a set of religious and ethical directives that God gave to Moses, according to the Bible. Scholars disagree about when the Ten Commandments were written and by whom, so apparently you know more than they do because you know “a bunch of drunk guys” wrote them. Do you have a cite for that? Please share.

IMG-1670


It's your God, your book, your commandments, not mine. We can debate the ethical value of the commandments all day, but our country was actually founded on religious freedom. Separation of church and state is a founding principle. Religious indoctrination in school is wrong.

What if it were Muslims making the hijab a dress code requirement. Do you have a problem with modesty? Or is the bigger issue not having someone else's religious beliefs shoved down your throat?


No one is forcing anyone in America to believe in the Bible, God, or the 10 commandments. People are free to believe or not believe whatever they want.


Posting the 10 commandments in a public school classroom undermines that freedom.

The substance of the commandments is not what is at issue here. It's the idea that your book of fairytales should not only be treated as fact, but that everyone must be governed by it, despite the fact that our country was founded on religious freedom. The Bible has been used to justify countless atrocities. It has no place in a public classroom aside from studying it as a curiosity of history and literature.


The Bible (from Koine Greek τὰ βιβλία, tà biblía, 'the books') is a collection of religious texts or scriptures, some, all, or a variant of which are held to be sacred in Christianity, Judaism, Samaritanism, Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and other Abrahamic religions. The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. These texts include instructions, stories, poetry, and prophecies, among other genres. The collection of materials that are accepted as part of the Bible by a particular religious tradition or community is called a biblical canon. Believers in the Bible generally consider it to be a product of divine inspiration, but the way they understand what that means and interpret the text varies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible

No secular educational institution teaches that the Bible is a book of fairy tales. They define it as wikipedia does above. You don’t have to believe the Bible, but you are being disrespectful, as many other people do believe the Bible. Show respect for the beliefs of others. Your beliefs are not made better or stronger because you disparage and mock the beliefs of other people.


I'm not going to show respect to Christofascists. People that keep their religion to themselves, where it belongs, don't get mocked. It's the ones who won't shut up about it and who want to turn it into governing law that are rightfully being mocked and disparaged. And I'm going to do it until the madness ceases, so buckle up.


+1. What is respectful about taking one religion and imposing on everyone through laws? Don't do that. Read the ten commandments at home or in church or in private school, not in public schools

Don’t be dumb. “I am the Lord thy God, you shall have no other gods before me” is a religious teaching.


Nobody is making anyone believe in God. Tell your kids God doesn’t exist and ignore the 10 Commandments. Easy.


The 10 Commandments insist there is one and only one God. Not appropriate for teaching in a public school.


Especially for those who worship polytheism and adhere to the tenants of the House of Zeus, Kroll or Amen-Ra

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.


That’s your opinion. I hope it lasts, because I work in a school and the students are being failed by their parents grievously. It’s truly sad.

How will slapping something on the wall in your classroom help your students, or their parents?


Are you an educator? Please, if you are not, get your teaching degree and certification and help teach kids. There’s a massive teacher shortage. It would be great for people like you to enter the classroom and help educate kids.


DP... That TOTALLY didn't answer the question. Again, how exactly will slapping a poster of the Ten Commandments help students?


How does it hurt?


By making kids who believe in different religions or no religion feel like outsiders.

I would love to see the reactions from the MAGAs if a Hindu teacher put up the Yamas and Niyamas in her classroom. Or better, if a Muslim teacher posted some quotes from the Quran.


Because the 10 Commandments are only for Christians, non-Christian people will feel like outsiders because they believe murder, theft, lying, etc, should not be forbidden?


Are you really this dumb. Many non-Christians don't believe that they should worship only one god. Or that idols are bad. Or that they should observe the sabbath.

+1 The lord’s name in vain part prohibits free speech. I thought you all loved free speech.


So you are telling us that people are forbidden from taking the Lord’s name in vain in the United States? What are the penalties for taking the Lord’s name in vain in our country? Have you been arrested for doing so?

I knew this post was coming...

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.
