I hope the lawsuit sure to follow incudes that the Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic 10 Commandments are all different from each other. If they're going to require them, they should have to display all of them.

^One of the arguments made in favour of this nonsense is that the Ten Commandments qualify as an historic document.

Fair enough, I suppose, but why stop there? Maybe this new fascist law should also require the Hammurabic Code in classrooms. What about the Twelve Tables, or the Law of Manu?

(May 29, 2024 at 11:58 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: Louisiana to become 1st state requiring Ten Commandments be posted in schools

Louisiana will become the first state to require the Ten Commandments be displayed in all schools and colleges that receive public funding, if Gov. Jeff Landry signs a new bill into law.

Catch up quick: Rep. Dodie Horton (R-Haughton) wrote HB71 to require the text of the Ten Commandments be printed on a poster no smaller than 11 inches by 14 inches.

JFC! The ten commandments endorse slavery, like "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant" - it doesn't say "don't have slaves" but it says "don't have your neighbor's slaves without permission"

To those who voted for it, that's a feature, not a bug.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The pathos is not in his obvious distraught, it's in the fact he's so distraught that a guy who's been ass-fucking him for years has been rolled up. He's a Ponzi-scheme victim bewailing his scammer's conviction.

Yes, that's how dumb you have to be to support Trump.

I'm unclear about something - is Trump claiming that Mother Teresa slept with Stormy Daniels and then tried to hush it up?

Quote:Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) lamented that his party has “lost all ability to think for itself” as GOP figures rush to defend former President Trump following his felony conviction in New York.

“Watching my party — the party of law and order — absolutely turn their guns against the jury, against the judge, against the system … this party has lost all ability to think for itself,” Kinzinger said Friday on “CNN This Morning.”

He said it’s “not just, like, crazy people” in the party acting that way, pointing to Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

Rubio slammed the verdict as “terrible” and decried the “ridiculous” charges. Graham called it a “mockery of justice.” Some GOP names being floated as possible Trump running mates have also come to his defense.

Funny how he includes Rubio and Graham in the category of ‘not crazy people’.

30 republican senators are against the rule of law.
