I completely support Louisiana in this . . . provided the Ten Commandments they post are the Catholic version. ---

I was thinking, post the Ten Commandments, in Hebrew, since they’re only intended to be binding on the Jews, anyway. Above them, meanwhile, post the Seven Commandments, in English, because those are intended to be binding on everyone. And in the explanatory blurb for the commandment to establish rule of law, explain how the law that we’re ruled by prohibits nonsense like this. ---

Given Louisiana’s somewhat unique history and consequently it’s relatively large Catholic population (also true of many of the southern border states + Florida), this may not have the effect you intended ---

That’s part of the plan! Watching the Catholic hating Protestants that are at the root of this heads assplode as they have to choose between forcing their religion on everyone or allowing Catholics, of all things, the same religious freedom would be entertaining. ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > provided the Ten Commandments they post are the Catholic version. Some damn liberal hippy pastor on Twitter pointed out that the version of the 10 commandments in the law aren’t found in any version of the Bible. You’d think the ‘inerrant word of God’ people would pick one of the four (I always thought two, but apparently Deuteronomy(?) might have versions also) God himself gifted us with. ---

Why is it these “Christians” are pushing to force the Old Testament Ten Commandments down everyone’s throat? If anything, they should be pushing The Beatitudes from the _New_ Testament. ---
