Or they neighbor’s ass.
I keep thinking this thread should be about a remake of the Charlton Heston movie.
No doubt! But the Governor should be mocked and humiliated for his state being bottom-of-the-barrel while he signs this nonsense law - his job is the health of his state and it’s people - he’s charged with improving people’s lives. I guess someone has to be last place - he’s achieved one thing, tho by giving Mississippi their state motto: “At least we’re not Louisiana!”
Any teacher who brings up such filth in front of children, or has anything in the room referencing it, should be immediately fired, of course.
(the logical conclusion is left as an exercise for the reader)
Right – they got ahead of arguments about versions by explicitly putting forth in the text of the law a standardized version apparently arrived at by committee by sort-of-averaging a bunch of different Protestant versions. Which in Louisiana strikes me as a bit of a slap to its French/Spanish heritage.
I’m not even clear which of the Ten Commandments are supposed to be really considered moral guides for kids – the adultery one? The murder one? Do they have a lot of kids worshipping idols while committing murder and disrespecting their parents?
I mean, if they said to post the Golden Rule, I could almost see that, but the TC are a weird list to post.
Anyway, even if they claim they are historical, how do they justify putting history lessons into math and science classrooms?
Remember, this Louisiana. Not sure if they even have that sort of classroom.
Clearly we need to teach that the very historical Mohamad very historically split the Moon in half in science class . . . that’s history too right?
When people mention that my atheism has become more militant, I just laugh and point out bullshit like this.
It’s like you’ve never heard of TikTok.
I’ve always been surprised the commandment was directed towards men instead of women given how a lot of Christianity treats women. “Thou shalt not seduce thy neighbor’s husband.”
Reminiscent of Trump’s marching orders to every attorney that he’s ever retained, I’m still focused on a workaround for "large, easily readable font.”
I can think of any number of fonts that would meet that criteria. I’d like to propose that we agree on one, and then use it to print the text in white on a white background.
Could anybody in the Bible Belt really take issue with there being too much whiteness in a Biblical text?
Ambiguity befalls the draftor. It isn’t my fault if they weren’t specific enough.
Comic sans serif.
Goddamn you for stealing my suggestion.
It is a property rights thing.
IIRC it even specifies the version used by most Protestant sects (KJV?), which opens it up to challenge by Catholics and Jews among others.
“Thou shalt not covet thy fellow Doper’s font.”
So, the Protestants break apart the no other gods and graven images into two, and combine the covets into one, right? And, Catholics do the opposite?
I think the Protestants do it the way that Jewish tradition holds, right?
It is the same commandments, just the numbering and is different and a few words.
The Louisiana version is not even the real KJV Ten Commandments. You’d think people would be up in arms with the politicians editing the Bible like that.
