So when do they put up the Five Pillars of Islam? The Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism? The Five Principles of Shinto? The Dharma of Hinduism? The Seven Points of Satanism? The Code of Hammurabi?
What about the six recipes of Pastafarianism in honor of the Flying Spaghetti monster?
Or is it just an “establishment of religion” a strange perversion of the ‘Christian” religion in particular, to the exclusion of all others?
Even the religious nut jobs on today’s Supreme Court would have a hard time explaining why that doesn’t violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments, though I’m sure those devious authoritarian bullies could find a creative way of doing it. I’m sure Samuel Alito’ wife is involved in some way.
And which Ten Commandments are they going to post? The Hebrew, Catholic and Protestant versions are all different. (It seems that the wording specified in the law is the wording from the Protestant version, even though Louisiana — where political divisions are in parishes instead of counties — has a very significant Catholic population. Will we now see the kind of rather intense kind of, uhm, difference of opinions in Louisiana that was experienced in Northern Ireland?)
Maybe they can settle that by just copying from the version of the Bible that Trump is selling — the Trump Standard Version (also known as the “Book of Moron”), in which all those nasty old King James translation errors have been “fixed.” Adultery is now a sacrament, paying hush money to a porn star now counts as “tithes and offerings” and all references to “God” or “Lord” or “Messiah” have been replaced by “Trump.”
Ten Commandments in classrooms?
