Ask for verified proof that a god wrote them and not some huckster called Moses.

I just read that Oklahoma has made so that christianity will be taught in all public schools. The dictatorship is growing stronger.

How do you prove a god exsist?

It would be a high fiber diet.

The American Taliban wants to turn schools in madrasas. Who knew?

I believe in God absolutely, but do not believe it should be forced on anyone. It should be a personal choice. I believe being a true Christian means “treating other people as you think you and your family should be treated”. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes and lose our temper at times. The best we can do is realize we were wrong and try to do better going forward.

If your parents vote for republicans, you’re going to choke on it, kid.

Moses? Even if such a person actually existed, like the rest of the Bible, they were probably written hundreds of years later

Next: all classrooms required to have a crucifix.

Those who want the ten commandments posted everywhere seem to be those who are the least interested in following them.

Someone whould make a list of everyone who votes for these laws, and how many Commandments each one has broken!

Hopefully every classroom has a U.S. flag.

We used to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morbing in unison with the principal’s voice over the school’s intercom system.

We all felt proud of our schools, our community, our country and respected one another.

Back then we didn’t have school shootings.

My reasoning is based on why worry about it ,other than that Carpe Diem !

Do school lunches fall out of the sky, or do taxpayers pay for them?

Exactly!

Talk about junk food.

You can display and even require someone to read the ten commandments with no harm done. For they would only have power over you if you believe in and follow those commandments.

“You cannot offer a hungry man the Constitution.”

One day in a Louisiana classroom…

The following treaty was sent to the floor of the Senate, June 7, 1797, where it was read aloud in its entirety and unanimously approved. Founder, co-author of our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, first vice president and 2nd President John Adams, having seen the treaty, signed it and proudly proclaimed it to the Nation.

Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary.

Annals of Congress, 5th Congress

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Yes. It’s hard to swallow.

On the old Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert would do a segment called “Better Know a District”. He would pick, say, the fifth district of New York (“The Fightin’ Fifth!”) and then interview the person who represented that district.

I don’t remember which district or which congressman he was interviewing, but that person stated his strong belief in the Ten Commandments.

Mr. Colbert asked him to name them.

He couldn’t.

I’m betting the superintendant in Oklahoma couldn’t do it without checking his Cliff notes. More posturing for the masses.

Sad but true. The words of the ‘Ten Commandments’ have many feeling uneasy.They don’t like to be told not to steal, murder, bear false witness, etc.

God is real. But posting the ten commandments is political, not a learning tool. Anyway, they’ll be sued by other religions before they can say “Thou shalt not”

Louisiana schools should post the prescribed version of the “Ten Commandments”. And post the full text of Exodus right beside it.
