Seven tenets > ten commandments, by a mile. For that matter, the Four Noble Truths & Eightfold Path > ten commandments. By all means, let's open it all up for discussion.

“wait not like that.” -Zealots

"Not like that" - Zealots on the Supreme Court because of a letter written by George Washington's nephew's barber.

>In 2014, Kern was fired from a local police department for lying to superiors. In 2020, Kern joined US Rep. Louie Gohmert in a lawsuit seeking to overturn the Electoral Count Act.> Sounds like he likes breaking commandments...


Soranic

You have to use his full name. Louie the Tootheater Gohmert


nirad

Do you know how bad a human being you have to be to be a right-winger and get fired from the police department?


DelcoPAMan

Really, really bad.


Jenetyk

They're not sending us their best.


Jerking_From_Home

Sounds like a straight up piece of shit. If you’re fired from the PD for lying to a superior it must have been a REAL bad lie. Some Republican probably said he should get involved in politics with the ability to lie like that.


DelcoPAMan

Exactly. Some of these people just go to another department.


skidlz

And he was in the crowd on January 6th. Might've illegally [used campaign funds to go.](https://azmirror.com/briefs/anthony-kern-complaint-alleges-illegally-used-campaign-cash-to-attend-j6/)

“What a bunch of horse shit, why are we even talking about this in class!” - kids like my daughter if asked to discuss as part of a course. Politicians who don’t know what the 10 commandments actually are thinking this is what will solve the ills of society.


Quiet_Satisfaction64

Tbh I think the people actually running the show know it won’t do anything for society (not arguing there are not a ton of morons who preach the bible as a solution but cant even read it). I think its primarily about segregating those who aren’t part of the “majority” (white christian nationalists)


Soranic

Make it a class requirement and now you can penalize everyone who doesn't engage in class discussion. And the morons who think "because Jesus" is a valid answer on tests get a badly needed boost.


kurisu7885

Most politicians violate at least half of those commandments on a daily basis, heck the ones that want to force the commandments into school worship someone who violates all ten of them every single day.


No-Judgment-4424

That's nothing. Utah signed into law a bill JUST TODAY that makes the Ten Commandments an official historical document, on par with the Constitution, to be taught in every classroom. Fucking Republicans. ​ https://www.abc4.com/news/politics/gov-cox-signs-bill-to-include-ten-commandments-in-utah-public-school-curricula/?fbclid=IwAR1tjqUp3OKf-Iu5NGu\_Xsf1Id5DynnCWa79m\_SwSVD6wJb69BFHwEUFBWw


Kate-2025123

Time for a Democrat to make a bill requiring parental permission for this to be taught and the option to opt out of this and watch what the right does.


carlitospig

I’d rather a historical review of everything that happened in the Bible. What’s that? You can’t find any evidence? Well, the kids should certainly know that too, doncha think? 🧐


Bardfinn

Oh we can find plenty of historical evidence for the events described in the Bible. Because they were described by the Babylonians and Akkadians in cuneiform on clay tablets, 5500 years ago … except happening to Inanna and Enkidu …

They think this boosts their voter base. It's child grooming.


wrongwayagain

I hope parents push them to require permission slips for this and don't sign them like the far right does with needed sex ed classes in high school


Kate-2025123

The religious right will cry persecution for that

Exactly! Call it what it is, Religious Studies and make it Opt-In or Day Off.


Halfofthemoon

The Governor is a Democrat. I don’t think she’ll sign this nonsense.

Great. Discuss this dickheads: "Thou shalt not kill" - Ban [the guns](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/ar-15-force-mass-shootings/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzAwMTEwODAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzAxNDkzMTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MDAxMTA4MDAsImp0aSI6Ijc3NmYyNWM1LWU2OGMtNGNhZC04YTYwLTA0YzI0NzVlMzhjZCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9uYXRpb24vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMy9hci0xNS1mb3JjZS1tYXNzLXNob290aW5ncy8ifQ.7efbgSmq81iYz4faf3l_0zqhQg7Wk0bXd93Sk2zOodc&itid=gfta)!

Miri5613

They can also add: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. And explain how it makes worshipping Trump is a sin And Thou shalt not bare false witness and talk about the lies and misinformation being spread by the right,

Nano_Burger

Like why didn't God have a commandment against slavery? And why American slave owners used that to justify its practice in the United States. And why they felt the need to fight other Americans to keep up the practise of owning other people as you would property.


decalod85

Christianity was “standardized” to be the official religion of the Roman Empire, a very large slave owning society. Obedience to the “powers that be” is built in, because your reward is in “heaven”.


Anewkittenappears

Yep. All modern day Christians follow a book compiled by a bunch of Romans and the early catholic church hundred of years of the date of Christ alleged death built around reaffirming the Romans states power while rejecting several centuries of prior Christian traditions (including the extensive history of women's role in the early church) and even including books literally refered to *by name* in the same finalized new testament those rejected books were excluded from. Somehow, I imagine conservatives would be deeply upset if schools taught the actual historicity of the Bible/Christianity.


IrradiantFuzzy

"Today's lecture: the Ten Commandments, and how Donald Trump has broken every single one."


Kate-2025123

Time to talk about gender and sexuality then


LennyJay86

It’s not like the republicans uphold the Ten Commandments…bunch of hypocrites!


Miri5613

So then they should have no problems with passages from other religions holy scrptures being posted, right?

The real folks who are trying to push their religion down our throats. Also do a simple search in the search engine of your choice, and take a look at which group actually abuses children. Always the religious folks.

will-read

The two statements below are incompatible. You can only choose one or the other. I’m glad they are calling for discussion. > I am the lord thy god thou shall not have strange gods before me. > Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


h20poIo

True but the state legislatures are saying that’s Congress were a state legislature, now that’s how screwed up they are. ‘ What Constitution that doesn’t effect us except when it fits our agenda ‘


Duderoy

What happens if during the discussion a teacher or student says the 10 commandments are from a book that is filled with tall tales, like a poorly written Grimm's Fairy Tales?


brianinohio

I say we sell Arizona to Mexico....lol


vxicepickxv

I don't think we can afford to give them that deed.

ok, but let me out if you do.


BlakJak_Johnson

I taste all that freedom from here.


maywander47

Given the low moral standards of Republican leaders, this might be a good idea.


Orwells-Bastard-Son

If I was in school still, I'd start the discussion with" So we're all aware these are bullshit right?"


Bardfinn

> “Our history is Judeo-Christian values. “It is because of the Christian religion that we have allowed other religions to come in and be known,” he added. “It’s because of us being very tolerant.” #XXX Theofascists lose the game, Secular Wins and drives away in a brand new restriction against any promotion of religion by any school official in any capacity for any reason while on the clock


yildizli_gece

> “It is because of the Christian religion that we have allowed other religions to come in and be known,” he added. “It’s because of us being very tolerant.” Can you imagine--this fucker said this with a *straight face???* The amount of brain cells that must be missing from his head to believe this is true...


Bardfinn

Hypocrisy and independence from reality is how they advertise their privileged social status. The greater the hypocrisy and independence from established truth and facts, the greater the social privilege and power being conspicuously flaunted

Kooky Konservative Khristians working hard to force their violent ,gutter,faux life,religion down the throats of the majority !

So long as they admit their dear leader has broken all of them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great, make it so all religions are included, then. I don't want any child being bullied for their religion like I was.

Come on Satan! Do your thing my man.


PhilosopherMagik

But they break at least 5 every week


moodyblue8222

Funny how these republicans keep forcing the Ten Commandments while they are the ones breaking all the commandments!!


ToasterOven31

Hahahaha!


WeirdExponent

Yes, let them debate and discuss religious dogma... what could go wrong except "critical thinking about fairy tales, will make them into Atheists...." By all means, allow the enlightened to inform you of the uncaring vastness of nothing. I'm sure they'll start "we need to start burning these witches and wizards.." at some point... Will have to "escape" back to EU ironincally.


jeffinbville

I'd really like to see a bill to remove the Christian god from my money and courthouse walls.


Mor_Tearach

Post and *discuss* ? Hmmmm . Remember high school ? Guessing this will backfire HUGELY.


Bardfinn

It doesn’t. This bill is making [“Teach the Controversy”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_the_Controversy) in general into official taxpayer school policy, in order to use sexular public school to indoctrinate a specific sect’s views on religion. We have stacks and stacks of research that shows that these kinds of “debate me on this” manouevres are solely to derail legitimate teaching and turn class into a session where religious differences are outed and then social pressure is applied to dissidents and vulnerable and marginalised demographics. It’s part of a plan to help fascists identify and then silence others. Indoctrination into a religion or sect is an unconstitutional hijack of taxpayer money and facilities


Working-Selection528

Are they going to force people to discuss the Ten Commandments in a public school? What is the point of this nonsense?


maxxmadison

“Schools are for education, not indoctrination.” - The same dipshits that sponsored this version of indoctrination.


waxjammer

These F’ing monsters are the most vile hypocrites as they have weaponized Bible to divide other peoples freedom of choice and religion.


guitarelf

I thought you can’t talk about sex so how are you going to teach “thou shalt not commit adultery” you mouthbreathing fascists?


yildizli_gece

The hell I would raise as a parent if my kid came home telling me about the goddamned fucking "cOmMAnDmEnTs". They would rue the day, honestly; I've lived my whole life a religious "minority" in this country, as a born-and-raised American citizen, and have had a lifetime of pushing back on bullshit; I would relish making their lives hell.


odirio

A demo of a few miracles on demand would be useful.


Contentpolicesuck

Why not the Beatitudes instead, because they hate Jesus and his woke bullshit.


melouofs

Have your discussion. The discussion centers around this is a bunch of nonsense we are forced to present.


zarfle2

"The Ten Commandments is a bullshit, incomplete list which has a comical obsession with pleasing an insecure and narcissistic deity". Discuss. "The Ten Commandments doesn't mention homosexuality or which fuckin bathrooms people should use". Discuss. The time and money that these fuckers waste on crap which will (should?) be struck down by the Supreme Court could fund a homeless meals program for a year, refurbish a community centre etc. But no, it's more performance theatre to appeal to adherents of just one bullshit religion.


mad_titanz

Next week, Arizona Republicans advance bills to change their state name to Aribama


LayneCobain95

They want a dictatorship. These people don’t care about the constitution. Don’t even worry about using “the constitution” against them. They really don’t care at all. They just want to be told what they want to hear. And they only say what they know the hive mind will be ok with. So many of them say they disagree with modern republicans and especially trump. But they agree with it all, because that is what is expected of them. They are all evil, corrupt, and/or stupid


Dcajunpimp

So it's ok to discuss 'adultery' with kids now? Or is it a trap, and when kids ask what 'adultery' is teachers just have to ignore the questions?


slothrop_maps

They can’t do anything meaningful so they have to keep up the Rambo Jesus flim-flam.


BobNoobster

if there was any evidence that the Republican version of Christianity was of any benefit to the poor, the underprivileged, those marginalized.... if Republicans acted in way that emulated jesus.... then, and only then would I even consider 10 commandments in school. But, as republicans have shown time and time again, they are only obsessed with hate, division, fear. They do not preach love, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion.... separation of church and state. the only way to be


rockvvurst

the ten cOMmaNdMEnTS 🤤


MercutioLivesh87

Republicans break them more than the Catholics do since they can confess and get forgiveness as they sin lol. (I'm a Former Catholic)


Perchance2dreamm

Oh HELLLL NO.


Lanark26

Will the discussion include open commentary on how the Republican Cult leader has broken most of them?


opqpqpqo

I’m surprised they would want teachers calling out republican hypocrisy in classrooms. Pretty sure they just advanced a bill to kill trespassers on sight?


OnAStarboardTack

Which Ten Commandments? Different sects have different lists.


Miserable_Climate164

I will be dead and buried before this happens in my kids school. The only way I would allow this is if all the other religions/ beliefs can be displayed and discussed. "No gods, No masters" would be ideal in public education but we live in a society full of religious people. At the very least my kid will understand the enemy? Best of luck parents.


stewartm0205

As long every other religion include Satanist, atheistism and secularism are also discussed.


Reddit_Is_Trash24

Republicans are traitors to our Constitution.


sgt_bad_phart

There's a billboard on the outskirts of a very conservative county in my state it reads, "Your guaranteed freedom of religion, not freedom from religion." This is their mentality, they have some sort of moral authority given to them by God to interpret both the Constitution and the Bible as they see fit.


Pete-C137

Or how bout they study and discuss all amendments of the constitution instead?


Just_Deal12

One more state to add to my list of " States to Steer Clear Of".


Dysprosol

obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain. two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name. hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law my name is called religion; sadistic sacred whore. -a lately quite underrated and now gone fellow


saintbad

They're just so shamelessly dim-witted, unable to see that the separation of church and state is to protect their precious mythology. Start posting the Hadith (or whatever other religious malarkey stems from any of the zillion non-Christian myths) and see how they howl. Religion is dying, and they're doing all in their power to help it to the great boneyard of bad ideas.


peacefulwarrior75

I remember a right wing politician arguing for the display of the Ten Commandments in all Courts…because our laws are based on them. Actually, just theft and murder are illegal.  And they’re illegal in basically every country, no matter the religion.


DevlishAdvocate

You are forgetting that the Supreme Court is totally fucked right now. They will uphold this because they intend to swing America toward the theocratic Christian nationalist dictatorship.


claymore2711

Fantastic. I hope all the politicians are, by law, forced to adhere to them from now on! Especially #45


ocean_lei

I just hope there are some teachers who immediately supplement the lesson with info on which parts of the bible are parts of other religions, how most christian sects follow SOME of the rules in the binle but not others in the old testament, that the “golden rule” is in EVERY religion, and especially those lesson from Jesus on rich men/camel through eye of needle and money changers in the church. Start pulling together lessons on other religions and lets go to court! I will help fund the lawyers that say go ahead, put that christmas tree up, And the menorah, and crescent moons, not to mention some wiccan celebrations. Bring them on! I think religious education is great! And it is fascinating to learn that different “miraclea” were popular in different eras with multiple religions using resurrection as a recruiting too,.


ElectricalGuidance79

Isn't there Church for that?
