These things are always a win-win for the religious right. They either get to insert their religion in the public school classrooms paid for with everyone's tax dollars, or they get to play the poor, persecuted victims of the godless left. I would challenge these people to demonstrate a single occasion where posting the Commandments ever resulted in better people. It's lost on them that eight of the Commandments would be unconstitutional should anyone try writing them into law.
"...she would be asked to teach evolution which is in complete contradiction with the theory of creation that we believe out of the Bible." Is he seriously still stuck on that... and we are within a month of the centennial of the so-called "Scopes Monkey Trial" which argued the concept of creation vs. evolution.
The Scopes Monkey Trial was presented in many sermons I heard as "A Victory for Satan," made possible because Christians of that era who should have been "Watching" were asleep at their post. Or something.
This and other laws Christians feel discriminate against them are similar examples of Satan and his minions hard at work in a "Lost World" to prevent the Gospel of Jesus from reaching Those Who Need It Most.
No kidding, that's the way they think.
Christians are admonished to be ever vigilant and constantly on their toes, working to defeat Satan by getting the word out by any means necessary. They must never let up because "Satan Never Lets Up!"
This is what drives the rank and file. The leadership, now, that may be another story altogether, one involving power and money.
Just a batshit crazed imaginary hypothesis of some magic guy in the sky. A guy that made me Gay so its minions would have someone to hurl death threats at
I just happened to go by the courthouse in Dayton over spring break. We were in the area already and it was a very short trip out of the way. Unfortunately due to various factors, we got there after it closed. They didn't have anything special for the centennial at that time (and I'm not sure if they are doing much anyway), but I was hoping to see the museum.
Well, it looks like some judges still have a spine and some regard for the Constitution. I wonder however if they will take it to the Supreme Court. I really doubt if the Supremes will endorse this decision in any way shape or form given their composition. But they have made some slightly weird judgements lately so who knows?
Just seeing this article. Hemant posted it moments after I logged off.
To Dodo Horton...
These aren't the Ten Commandments, you fool. Read Exodus 34 and be prepared for surprise. When you get over your shock, post THOSE Commandments and do it properly: In Aramaic and read right to left.
"for now, illegal" Scary to think it is just "for now." The MAGA cult and its nationalists would like nothing more for the United States to become a complete Christian theocracy. Eliminating anyone who freely thinks for themselves, with reason and common sense.
Maybe Bible Belt states can form their own country and leave the other states alone. Nah history repeating itself,1861-1865.
300 years of witch hunts in Europe. Millions dead in inquisitions, star courts and crusades over imaginary jesus. Now returning soon under a theocracy o9f "love."
In Economics and law in high school we had a brief rundown of ancient law systems. Hammurabi was the first mentioned. The decalogue ? Nothing, not even in 7th (early middle ages) or 8th grade (Europeans religious wars) history.
"My wife is a Christian and if she was a teacher she would be asked to teach evolution"
False equivalent. This argument would stand, if and only if, a law was mandatoring the teaching of evolution during religious services/teaching.
"understand and appreciate the foundational documents of [its] state and national government."
The state of Louisiana was founded by France. The 10 commandments should be posted in 17th century French and from a catholic babble.
Farron seems to think that there is a possibility that the midterms might be cancelled by Trump? Is this even possible? Absent a state of emergency I guess not?
Anything is possible. The fact that a convicted felon who went through an impeachment process twice and instigated a deadly insurrection is in the White House shows that anything is possible. Sadly.
Exactly. Even her own life experience fails to teach her anything. Just because she could say the equivalent of "do you know who I am?" and call on well-placed resources for help in brow-beating a legitimately frightened ER team does not mean this is a typical scenario for other frightened, panicky women whose pregnancies have become life-threatening, the ones who go into septic shock or bleed out in parking lots waiting for emergency help that should have been rendered ASAP after they arrived at the facility.
I have no sympathy for Commack. Women like her will almost always be okay, because they have resources. That may change in the future, but for now, they will mostly be safe and sheltered from the grim reality too many other women face. They will continue to learn nothing and go merrily on their way.
Go fuck yourself Commack, you goddamn heartless bitch.
Any OB/GYN worthy of the letters will tell you that these laws have a chilling effect on the practice of medicine when it comes to pregnant people. I will tell you that there is no reasonable way to write loopholes into anti-abortion laws so that they both prevent so-called 'elective' abortions while allowing medically needed procedures to go ahead, and even if such a law could possibly be written, who and how will it be enforced? (Reminder: still not a lawyer.)
The Republican position on abortion is simplistic at best and more often than not pretends that reality just doesn't happen to the 'right' sort of people. "Save the babies" sounds great to most everyone, but that's not what anti-abortion laws do and never has been.
And of COURSE it was all the fault of the pro-choice movement and the left in general with their fear mongering and spreading "disinformation." Not the fact that Ms. Cammack's own beliefs codified into law have killed dozens of women in red states, or the fact that women are being arrested for having miscarriages, and doctors everywhere are legitimately afraid of harsh repercussions that could end their careers and result in prison terms. The woman is incapable of honest reflection and empathy for others in her situation who may not know the intricacies of the law and do not literally have friends in high places.
No, she refused to learn a damned thing from her experience. Classic cold-blooded Republican See You Next Tuesday. She'll fit right in with Gilead.
Thou shalt not post the 10 commandments.
Lol….this is perfect!!
Thou shalt not make an ass of thyself.
Horton Hears a "Fuck You!".

Yeah, there is no "theory" of creation.

One would hope that the Supremes would just refuse to hear it and put the kibosh on the whole nine yards. [knock wood!]
The FIFTH Circuit no less!! Judge shopping bit them in the butt this time!
Pastafarianism has a list of commandments. The Satanic Temple has seven tenets.
Ramen.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Sauce be upon him.
He boiled for your sins.
Udon, not upon. Heathen !
The words "adultery" and "covet thy neighbor's wife" in ANY context belong nowhere on the walls of a room of a friggin' elementary school. Good grief.
I’d love to see New Orleans before I die.
Sure wish they’d move it someplace civilized.

You won't though, will you?
For those of you waiting:
I still have not seethed a kid in its mother's milk.
Bet you still haven't celebrated The Festival of Weeks or The Feast of Unleavened Bread, either. ;)
I refer the Honourable Member to my earlier reply.
Dodie Horton: lackwit and professional moron.
Nice work if you can get it.
And you can get it if you try!

Commandment XI: Thou shall not blindly worship an imaginary deity that you can't see, hear or touch.

Jesus whores? or Whores of jesus?
All others pay cash. In confederate money.
Great victory for sanity and the rule of law. Bad news is some asshat will try, try again

Likely, dear Donnie Dumb-Ass will do his best to create an emergency.
Anything is possible. The fact that a convicted felon who went through an impeachment process twice and instigated a deadly insurrection is in the White House shows that anything is possible. Sadly.
I'm betting $100 that they try. Can't predict the actual outcome.
I've been afraid of this very thing.
Republican’s Life-Threatening Pregnancy Collided With Florida’s Abortion Politics

"But they're 𝘮𝘺 leopards! They weren't supposed to eat 𝘮𝘺 face!"
She blames the left for scaremongering? Shit has already happened, scaremongering is not necessary.
