This is gonna be fun.
And by fun I mean totally annoying. Until the TST get involved.
Yeah, I want to see the TST's tenets up there next to the commandments. That ought to stimulate some interesting discussions.
For those not familiar,
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
They are totally going to sue for the ability to post the tenets next to the ten commandments.
Hail Satan!
This Supreme Court might decide to play favorites, maybe the next precedent is “only religions existing during the founding of the US can display texts in schools.” Just because previous courts protected the separation of church and state doesn’t mean this court has to abide by that precedent.
Just wait for an Islamic group to sue then. Or wait for Scientology to decide they don't want to be a second tier religion and start suing.
Or an atheist group maybe. Idk there's enough competition in religious zealots to make picking a favorite hard to do unless they just throw out the 1st ammendment prohibitions.
Ah, okay, so then the Five Pillars of Islam go up next to them.
This is not going to be an easy fight for them to win.
This would disenfranchise a majority of the population of their rights. I can see things popping off if they were to attempt it.
