Louisiana lawmakers want Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms

Once again, how so, be specific.

.

To have a specific religion's "rules" displayed in a gov't building, with no other religious references allowed, is selecting a gov't religion.

Now if you want to display other religion's dogma as well, you are fine.
 
How could that possibly be, since Christ was born long after the time of Moses? And what freedoms do they oppose?

.

The 10 Commandments are still a religious document. They oppose the freedom to worship other Gods besides the Judeo-Christian God.
 
The term "Judeo-Christian" is used to discuss that specific religion, since Judaism largely evolved into Christianity. Specifically, the God described in the 10 Commandments is the God of Judaism and of Christianity.


It's the same God as Islam, which incorporates much of the old testament.

What are the first 5 words of the 1st Amendment?

If you are going to try to use the friezes from the US Supreme Court to justify using biblical dogma for our gov't, then show the other friezes as well. There are plenty that have nothing to do with Judeo-Christian history. They simply show law givers.
With Moses and his tablets right in front. I don't think that was coincidental. But the ten commandment are all over Washington DC. Along with:
IN GOD WE TRUST; US CAPITOL
 
The first 4 commandments are strictly relating to a specific religion. That is unconstitutional.

Why not just put up a list of things the students shouldn't do? Don't Kill. Don't Steal. Why does it have to be the 10 Commandments.
How are the students being held to any of the Commandments just with them being posted? Are they being required to memorize them, recite them? No.

Contrast just posting the 10 Commandments for reference vs requiring students to take CRT and / or restorative justice classes.

And they are depicted multiple times in the Supreme Court building. Should we deface the building and chisel them out? How are they bad in schools when they grace the highest court in the land?

And there are others all around the Supreme Court building. Justinian, Hammurabi, Confucious, and Mohammed are also depicted.

I'm sure you know, States had official religions at the time of the founding, there is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting that.

The US Supreme Court building shows numerous "law givers" including Confucious. It is not a single religion and excluding all others.

The level of irony that those who push the Ten Commandments on the public don't give two shits about actually following the Ten Commandments, or much of the Bible in general, is simply off the charts.

And they think we won't notice? Are they THAT far gone?
 
They are not. The US Constitution is based on Judeo-Christian ethics and laws. Why must the 10 Commandments be mentioned in the Constitution in order for them to be listed in schools? Christian or not, the 10 Commandments are a good baseline for communities to live by. Feel free to disagree.

I disagree
Most commandments either demand you worship or petty offenses like coveting

God did not have his best day
 
The Ten Commandments make bad law

Most are trivial offenses or relate to demanding you worship God
But you're fine with the rainbow mafia's symbols of worship being displayed in public spaces?

Most are overt symbols of required worship to a politico-religious ideology.
