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.

    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.

      Who are you to say that it is a satirical religion? If I hold a belief in those tenets, how is that satire?

      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.
