Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, a U.S. appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more religion into schools.
The ruling sets up a potential clash at the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue in the future. Arkansas and Louisiana have passed similar laws, which have also been challenged in courts.
And Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a similar law earlier this moth.
Maybe try reading them first.
I think you may have missed the part where I said what they say is not relevant. It was 90% of the message you just replied to.
It’s almost like you are afraid, it’s weird.
I don’t consider myself a Satanist, but their seven tenets are nearly impossible to argue against.
Here let me do you a favor and just paste them here for you:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
Its almost like you don’t understand the point I’m making at all, it’s weird. No one is arguing against the tenets, I’m arguing against a satirical religion.
You better watch out who you’re calling a satirical religion or me and my pastafarian buddies are gonna come and beat you up.
Who are you to say that it is a satirical religion? If I hold a belief in those tenets, how is that satire?
I didn’t say it. They did.
Ah OK, I didn’t realize that you are the authority that judges which religions are relevant and which aren’t. My bad.
As if Christianity isn’t a fucking joke.
They themselves are the authority. They themselves state as much. Christians do not.
