Louisiana will become the first state to require that public universities and K-12 schools display the Ten Commandments in every classroom after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to push forward new
“The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. Jay Morris, R-West Monroe, told the Senate. Rather, it is the Ten Commandments’ "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
Only two of them are actually law: Thou shalt not murder and thou shalt not steal.
This is all about religion, and they’re going to get away with it. We’d be better off if our legal codes were based on the seven tenets instead.
All the time, and especially for cops. (It’s called ‘qualified immunity’ and ‘civil forfeiture’ instead of murdering and stealing, but it’s the same thing.)

Not even two, maybe one and a half as it depends a lot on who you are and whom you’re stealing from. And you can even argue on murder too
Hail Satan! or not… I’m not your boss, do whatever
Hail Satan, and hail yourself!
America! Land of the free*!
*: Unless you meant freedom of religion. You better not! We’ll sue/burn/shoot/jesus you if you do! Ultraconservative Christianity or death!
*unless you also meant freedom of expression or freedom of bodily autonomy
Wait, what’s getting jesus’d…?
Oh, I did not think of the implications of making that a verb.
Flip it around on them, and say that if the Ten Commandments are so important, why they support Trump, who regularly breaks them.
Because the Lord works in mysterious ways, or some other dumb shit excuse.
Imperfect vessels! Ineffable designs!!
Who am I kidding, they can’t even use flowery language in their lies anymore.
we make exceptions for even the murdering and stealing.
