I wonder if the people who wrote the law know that there are multiple versions of the 10 commandments.

They're pretty similar, but the numbers don't match up.

The commandment against killing is #6 for Jews and Protestants, but #5 for Catholics. Stealing is #8 for Jews and Protestants, but #7 for Catholics. Then there are some bigger differences.

For Jews #2 says "You shall have no other gods beside me. You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth." That's effectively split into #1 and #2 for Protestants, with #1 being "no other gods" and #2 being "no graven images". For Catholics, "no other gods" is #1, but they got rid of the bit about graven images, presumably so they can have old finger bones people can worship, or statues to Mary. So, for Catholics #2 says not to take the name of their god in vain. Catholics make up for that by having a commandment against coveting the milf next door and a second one about your neighbour's stuff, whereas Jews and Protestants have just 1 commandment against coveting your neighbour's stuff.

Also, the Jews didn't seem to understand the assignment for #1, because it's not actually a commandment, it's backstory: "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage." So, Jews really have 9 commandments and 1 informational message.

Also, fun loophole. All 3 versions say "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." #9 for Jews and Protestants, #8 for Catholics. But, if someone isn't your neighbour... Loophole!

Good. As they should.

Translate the Commandments to Arabic and display them to see the world burn.

I'm certain Louisiana classrooms could also use a few verses from The Satanic Bible, too. The Ten Non-Commandments? Maybe we throw it back to the Papyrus of Hunefer or the Epic of Gilgamesh, since Christianity is so derivative.

This is presumably being done in collaboration with the supreme court to give them a test case to permit establishment of the Christian religion in schools.

I'm very Christian and am fully supportive of suing over this bullshit.

Bans Tik Tok and puts up the ten commandments.

Pretty clear what the goal is here.

Welp, I can see it's time to re-up as a member with the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and maybe a few more. I haven't been active in the Church:State fight since the early 2000s when GWB was kissing-up to Christofascists but the latter are really gaining momentum of late now that they have Their People in power from the SCOTUS on down to the lowliest municipal admin spot. We as a country are truly f*cked if we don't neutralize these people. I'll probably join TST too because I agree with them ideologically, they're doing some great women's health care work, and I want to make sure that I get on all the Christofascist's Lists as a certified Demonic influencer.

I want the ten Commandments of the satanists church then as well, with a little sweet Baphomet statue next to it to drive the point Home

Was wondering if ToS will be placing their tenants beside these.

I honestly think this was part of their plan. Enact a clearly unconstitutional law, get someone to sue get it escalated all the way to the Supreme Court, and have the Supreme Court somehow pull out of their ass that it's constitutional.

Louisiana is so lame.

I know this is now such a cliche thing to say but I legitimately expected this headline to be from the onion.

Who at all did not see this coming? At this point we as a country just waste resources so the people in the back can push their little christofascist agendas.

The irony here is that south Louisiana is still very segregated when it comes to education - those who can afford it send their kids to Catholic school. So a decent amount of students already have this. He’s just trying to “own the libs” in a PR stunt.

What's also upsetting is that they passed or are set to pass a bill allowing state funding to private schools.
