What's the bet that fuckwit hasn't even read it?

Does he want to teach them the bit about god not being able to help in a war because the other team had iron chariots? Does he want to teach them that killing your daughter is cool, or that fucking your dad is good?

Utter fucking moron.

It's all for show - even the rampant far-right christians on SCOTUS won't allow that shit.

They'd be well advised to get on with that then and make it loud and public: This is NOT a fuckinig chreeeeeeeeeeestian nation.

i almost wish it was.

but not the fake version sold by televangelists or practiced by Trump.

There's always a rat hole to absolute power in human psychology stank. It's just a bit faster when you add religion and throw out critical thinking.

No shit GM.

Unfortunate, but true.

Nice!

And it gets weirder, though in a way that only pedants like myself might notice.

A lawsuit has been filed to stop enforcement of the law. It ought to succeed, but you never know if there's a district court judge who won't get with the program, despite clear precedent, which district courts are required to follow.

But one of the headlines that I read struck me as odd. It referred to a lawsuit complaining that this was the protestant verison, and so would be offensive to Catholics and Jews. Here's a line from the article about the filing:


“The Act requires this Protestant version of the Ten Commandments to be displayed,” the filing adds, after noting that for many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and “other non-western faiths,” the Ten Commandments “have no place at all.”

The things is, it isn't the Protestant version. It's also not the Catholic version, or the Jewish version. it is, however, an English translation of what is actually in the Bible.

I talked about this a few posts ago. I expected that they would use the Protestant version, but they didn't. So, it's kind of weird that the lawsuit accuses them of using the Protestant version. Didn't they read the law?

The second sentence, about non-Western faiths, though, is absolutely correct. I wonder if they mentioned atheists at all in their filing. I assume they did, but it wasn't worth mentioning in the article..
