Pedro X. Molina for June 24, 2024

so it seems, no shame there

What’s astounding to me is that they’re actually trying to say that the Ten Commandments are somehow the “basis of American law.”

1. In the founding documents of the US there is only vague reference to a “creator,” and a pretty clear prohibition about government mixing with churches.

2. Many of the founders were not Christians in the modern sense at all – they were products of the Enlightenment and if they believed in God it was an impersonal one that created things and left them alone. And the modern Evangelical take on Christianity did not exist in those times.

3. Most of those Commandments do not even carry the force of law in the US.

4. Teachers have a whole lot of mandates for their time; I suspect the net effect of posting this in most classrooms would that the poster would gather dust, especially in high school and college where nobody ever looks at stuff posted on the walls.

5. Seeing as the stalwarts trying to force this on schools do not seem to be able to follow those commandments themselves (how many has Trump publicly broken?), it would seem pretty hypocritical of many of them to propose this.

Well, that too…

Spot on

Trump has broken every one of them several times over.

When I was in fourth grade, the commandments were posted in the classroom. It seemed to work. None of us murdered anyone. None of us had jobs where we worked on Sundays. None of us committed adultery. None of us coveted our neighbor’s oxen. Although I did covet my neighbor’s beagle. But Moses never mentioned beagles, so that was OK, right?

I was all set to violate the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 10th Commandments when I suddenly remembered about this imaginary guy carrying a fictitious stone tablet down a non-existent mountain, and I stopped.

Telling a child they will burn in hell is child abuse.

The poster depicted in this cartoon is out of compliance because it only shows ten of The Ten Commandments. The LA law stipulates that schools post ELEVEN of The Ten Commandments. (Look it up.) That’ll really teach those kids … something?

I want to see what happens to the kid that claims atheism or agnosticism.

Unlike the liberals/progressives/moderates, — the evangelical, so-called “conservatives”, are forgiven for their past/present/future sins.

Anti Christ Trump has broken all of the Commandments.

This really is pathetic. It will have no appreciable effect, but it costs nothing and will allow them to believe they are maintaining dominance. Doing it for votes is another example of them thinking the voters are suckers. Louisiana is 40th in education and last again in quality of life. The voters will continue to languish, but they have the Ten Commandments in the schools. Suckers.

Gotta Amen for this one!

As an aside, you should hear these mental midgets comment on the “Danbury letter”. Entirely missing the point that Jefferson is assuring the Danbury Baptists that government cannot do exactly what this state sponsored Ten Commandment nonsense is intending to do.

Those and all the mortal sins

And your money says in God we trust,

But it’s against the law to pray in school;

9 Commandments and one suggestion.

Pedro Molina, you’ve done it again. Excellent!

Yep, I am atheist, so I do not follow the commandments and so have complete freedom to rape, murder, steal as much as I like.

Which is not at all.

Human morality does not decent from christianity, it predates it.

If I were a teacher there, I’d be preparing posters with the foundational tenets of islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, The Satanic Temple and other philosophies to post all around the mandated poster.

Nailed it! Why hasn’t the man just spontaneously combusted the way he pontificates about his “religion”?

Another Republican governor making his state follow HIS way of thinking and HIS religious beliefs. He must be following the DeSantis manuel.
