I wonder if anyone has ever set the 'Ten Commandments' to music – you know, like 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'? Or maybe a 'concept' album with ten tracks?

I yanked my kid out of a very well-regarded Waldorf school because I could not stomach being greeted by a painting of an abstract blue "cross shape" every time I walked in the door. I enrolled my kid in a public magnet science elementary instead.
“It's actually very much a Christian idea because you recognize the dignity of each individual. And part of recognizing that dignity is that each person has to find their own pathway to God.”
Problem is he’s saying the pathway should always end at his God.
All that talk of "each person has to find their own pathway to God" is going to alienate the hardcore baptists, evangelical and King James Bible crowd who insist that their interpretation IS THE ONE TRUE WAY to salvation and there are no other ways. It is their way or the highway to Hell. Any deviation into a personal one-to-one pathway to God is HERESY and MUST be punished with death.
I am not exaggerating their stand on this. JD opened his mouth a bit too wide this time. They heard that and he better hope they don't win the Schism War and grab absolute theocratic power; by his own words they will convict and punish him.
I am old enough to remember when right wingers were getting all "outraged" over "Sharia law" being "forced" on them . . . (it actually wasn't). They gave the impression that they did not support religion being forced on people. I guess it was only 'certain' religions that they were concerned about.
Freedom of religion was pretty much a given in the Roman empire. You could worship pretty much whatever you wanted. In fact, Judaism and Christianity were among the very few banned religions specifically because they were not tolerant of other religions.
I was raised Catholic (albeit not very well) and the version I was taught is different from what I saw later in pop culture. The Catholic version spreads out coveting your neighbor's wife and coveting your neighbor's goods into two separate commandments, thereby leaving out the one about not worshiping graven images. Because if there's any religion that knows something about graven images, it is the Catholic church. So right there, you've got a controversy. Someone should ask JD Vance, who's supposedly a Catholic convert, which version he would expect to see on the classroom walls. I'd be really curious to see how he would answer that one. Then, whatever he might say, bring on a representative of the other version, and let them go at it.
If MAGA christian nationalists want children to stare at the 10 commandments all day, every day, they can post them in their own damn homes and force the kids to look at them there before and after the kids go to school.
Just make sure to keep daddies stash of porn hidden and out of sight. I also think those christian parents might be more careful with the pills and liquor mommy uses to help her tolerate daddy in a locked cabinet too.
AND BUY TRIGGER LOCKS AND GUN SAFES YOU ASSHOLES! Your kids are DYING at an alarming rate because you, generally, suck at being parents.
listen up couchfucker, the Founders were also inspired by ancient Greece and Rome but no one is putting up anything by Zeus, or Dionysus' ten commandments of getting blitzed at an orgy.
The very first Commandment is:
"I am the Lord your God. You shall not have any other gods before me."
So the First Commandment goes against the First Amendment.
Shut up, JD.
Just shut up.
Any Christian kid can carry the Ten Commandments in their notebook. Nobody cares.
Also, the Founding Fathers were Deists. They believed in some type of God, but didn't practice any particular religion.
They based many ideas in the Constitution on the Iroquois Confederation.
Everyone who has read a history book knows that, and *so does he.*
What he's doing is called being disingenuous, or, not revealing the full facts.
A close cousin to telling an outright lie.
And what does the Bible call that?
Yes, he's bearing false witness! Good work!
Or, all this hooha could be due to the fact that JD Vance is a disingenuous shitheel.
JD was that guy in his law school classes who always raised his hand to offer stupid arguments and piss everyone off.
Lol. JD, the first commandment is the one that prohibits the worship of other Gods...
The first four are all about only worshipping THIS God.
5 is honor your father and mother so they dont kick you out.
Murdering is alllllll the way down at #6.
Him and Donny Not-even-a-little-bit Trump think the first commandment is
"Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law."
For Catholics, Mom and Dad are #4. And all killing is out, not just murder.
Or as phrased by the witch's rede, "Do as thou wilt but do no harm".

A burning bush? I guess that answers the question of whether you smoke after sex.

Rudolf Steiner has been summoned to the chat . . . 😃

I wonder if they'd be as chill about it if the primary tenet of my personal religion was pasted, in blaring letters, in every classroom:
OBEY DR. RRRRROBOTNIK
RRRRROBOTNIK NEEDS POWER. RRRRROBOTNIK NEEDS MONEY. GIVE IT TO ME ERR HIM.

Perpetual, prevaricating projection prevails.

When I hear a Catholic arguing that he has the right to expose things to children, I get a bit nervous

Have any of them trotted out the old “but it’s an example of early encoded laws”? Because Code of Hammurabi.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's JD (Just Douchebaggery) Vance. 🤦🏼♂️

Madison Cawthorn might disagree with you about that whole "getting blitzed at an orgy" thing.
Madison Cawthorn . . . haven't heard that name in a minute.
I wouldn't be averse to bringing back the Maenids.
OG FAFO.
