Louisiana becomes 1st state to require the Ten Commandments be posted in classrooms
Louisiana will become the first state to require that public universities and K-12 schools display the Ten Commandments in every classroom after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to push forward new
Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.
You're viewing a single thread.
“The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. J. Adam Bass, R-Bossier City, told the Senate. Rather, it is the Ten Commandments' "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
There is NO WAY to say this with a straight face. We all know what you're fucking doing, just admit it.
Ah, yes. Very foundational to our legal system. The First Commandment (using the version usually touted by evangelicals):
You shall have no other gods.
That's why we didn't pass the Bill of Rights with the US Constitution. Because the First Amendment there states people shall have freedom of religion, and that would contradict the First Commandment.
Very foundational to our legal system.
Given our political attitude towards Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, and Pagans, I honestly don't detect a lie.
In America you can have any religion you want, so long as its the correct one.
The next four Commandments to round out the top five are foundational to our legal system, although none of these prohibitions is actually enshrined in any of our laws:
- You shall not make idols.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
- Honour your father and your mother.
Yeah, and they’re trying to codify those (except they’d love it if you’d idolize them for “saving” you)
it is the Ten Commandments' "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
Alright, so let's put them up right next to the Hammurabi Code, which is also majorly significant to history and our legal system. Maybe highlight the part about how Hammurabi was chosen by the Babylonian gods as the ultimate arbiter of justice.
Marduk rules, man.
Fuck Marduk. All my homes hate Marduk. Apsu was right about those rowdy kids all along!
Down with Marduk! Ahura Mazda is the one true god!
I don't know, Marduk is a far better hook up for getting my pills https://youtu.be/uD-hjTuGbAs
If Marduk were all that great, then he would not have allowed Ahura Mazda and Darius to conquer the Babylonians.
We historically feared satanism too. Should probably post their commandments “so that the kids know what to watch for”. Right next to the biblical ones.
- Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
- Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
- When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
- If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
- Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
- Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
- Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
- Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
- Do not harm little children.
- Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
- When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
Satanism is weird. Let’s use The Satanic Temple tenets instead:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.IV
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.V
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.VI
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.VII
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.These are the ones to live by
And I think you forgot the following:
VIII
Remember to vote every Christofascist out of your congressional system on Election Day. They are in violation of your Freedom of Religion right.
I love how half of these are just "don't be fucking annoying"
Much more cringe-worthy than the Bible ones, to be honest.
Oh yea things like, 'not harming children' , and 'do not rape', are cringe. Good thing, the based Christian bible allows you do those things.
I'm more talking about "your lair", "the mating signal", and "destroy him". Deeply, deeply cringey.
It's because it's Satanism and not the Satanic Temple.
Satanism (usually referring to Levayan Satanism) is for libertarian edge-lords. This is the flavor of Satanism the phrase "Do as thou wilt" comes from.
The Satanic Temple is for based secular people (they don't believe in a literal Satan) who support the separation of church and state, and bodily autonomy, etc. They spend a lot of money on legal tests of issues exactly like this article. Donate to them!
It's edgy neck beard shit. The whole philosophy is reactionary and shouldnt be taken seriously. Living as an anti- anything is pathetic and cringe.
Then certainly he will want to post the Mayflower Compact which says "to each according to their needs from each according to their means".
It’s the power of belief. When you train your brain to take things on faith despite of evidence, that’s what you get.
These tools probably actually believe this country was founded on "the" ten commandments, even if the secular founding and the freedom FROM religion flies right in the fact. The first of "the" ten commandments and the First Amendment come into conflict right away. Their silly fanfic has their god Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh declaring there is to be no other god but him. Meanwhile, my First Amendment means I don't have to give a flying fuck what they say their god says.
I'll give him credit if he can produce the original, historical "document" he's talking about
I demand the Magna Carta and the Code of Hammurabi be posted, using the same argument.
Going by memory of Captain Obvious' guide book:
So... He's bearing false witness about some stolen traditions (Jewish) & made in to a graven image.
If I had to guess, I would bet he worships cash & oppression more than Jaweh. I could be wrong. It could be pedophilia, like most vocally puritanical types.
What did I miss? 3/10 isn't great. The fourth is just guess & conjecture.
if it's not religious, why would you legally enshrine it? What other fucking reason do you have? The schools can just buy their own fucking copy of it ffs.
