Christian literature has plenty of justification of Just Wars, and other forms of murder.
but few, if any, are Biblical.
Arguably a true Christian is a pacifist—and perhaps fearless—fears no dictator, no criminal, no police, no army, no man.
The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...
Seems pretty clear cut and dry to me. These guys really are the epitome of “Rules for thee, but not for me,” aren’t they?
It's all about doing it, then getting shot down.
They can then say "look! The libruls hate god!" And then they get more donations and votes.
someone saying "no" when evangelicals try to force their religion on everyone is "persecution" to them
Christians are professional victims, but not actual victims. And most of the time they are victimizing others. It's hard being in a cult. :(
When they aren't victimising each other, that is. Don't forget, the "persecution" the pilgrims were fleeing was not being allowed to persecute each other as hard as they wanted to.
Exactly! My favorite part is when they turn on each other. No one is ever pure enough in a cult.
Honestly making out with your highschool goth gf under the ten commandments sounds pretty hot.
You are so getting fired from your teaching job
I was imaging it as I would also be a student.
It doesn't matter how you roleplay with your students your going to jail bud.
Woosh
Oh boy I can't wait to see which commandments he broke. My bet is on the coveting. He seems like a coveter.
Yeah - let’s see how much time and focus this can take from real issues.
It will be a great and important win if you can stop this from happening. While your shitty country burns to the ground.
1. John 2:4 The one who claims, “I know him,” while not keeping his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this person.
They do realise one of the commandments is against adultery right?
Also, that's the old testament. There are a lot of rules in there so maybe they should also put some of those up too, like the ones for owning slaves.
This is gonna be a piece of cake for The Satanic Temple to counter.
Just write "Baal before Yahweh" on every copy.
That was pretty damn funny, thanks for sharing
I wonder if many/most of these will get vandalized, or if public school kids are so checked out and apathetic they'll simply be ignored like they ignore the teacher, the textbooks, and pretty much everything but their phones.
Whatever happens, I don't think it's going to put the ass-kissing "fear of god" into any of them. Waste of tax dollars.
Of course the real point is to "own the libs" and anger atheists. Because Republicans don't really accomplish anything else.
