    They just forced the 10 commandments into every classroom in the school I work with.

    It absolutely galvanized the student body, they hate it and are forming different opposition groups.

    I hope that was the religious movement’s goal, get everyone to hate them.

      They never see past the next move.

      It’s their belief that forcing it down peoples throats is gods work and they have the moral high ground.

      It’s not for the people there today, it’s for the kids a generation from now.

      It is. Being “persecuted” is a requirement of their faith, so they have to manufacture it.

      I take it they used the King James “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” translation, rather than the more-accurate “you will not carry the name of Yahweh your God for empty purposes”

      …like for example, using Yahweh’s name in empty displays of faux piety while ignoring the poor and oppressed.
