“A Texas Senate bill that would require displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools is renewing the debate on the separation of church and state.”

“The bill would require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in each classroom on a poster or frame that is at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall. These posters could be displayed in classrooms across Texas as soon as this fall if the bill is passed.”

“I think this would be a good, healthy step for Texas to bring back this tradition of recognizing America’s religious heritage. Senate bill 1515 restores a little bit of those liberties that were lost,” Texas Sen. Phil King (R-Weatherford), who introduced the bill, said.”

Always interesting how conservatives supposedly want less government but they also want the government to enforce their religious beliefs

Wonder how the Founding Fathers would view such given a large number of them were Deists

This isn't constitutional and no doubt will be challenged and shot down... unless they agree to post the rules of other religions as well, which of course they won't.

Do they really think that putting that stuff up is going to make perfect little citizens?

Deuteronomy 4:5 See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the Lord my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” 7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? 8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?

Jeremiah 31:3 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

I doubt you do. You would not be so nasty if you really did.
How about the separation of church and state? Should we have basic Muslim teachings too? What about Hinduism? We could teach Confucius's sayings too?

As a member of the Pagan community, I also demand equal time for the teachings and proverbs of Wicca, Zoroastrianism, Druidism, and so on.

So they just entirely ignore the establishment clause. It's absolutely amazing that these clowns claim they are faithful to the Constitution, while they trample all over it. Wouldn't survive a court challenge. Even THIS Supreme Court isn't that radical.

I guess you would consider me a MAGA base person but I don't agree with it. I think schools should be neutral. If churches want school kids to have religion the should develop pre school and post school programs for kids. During school hours schools should be neutral.
 
Why the obsession with the Ten commandments, which come from the Hebrew bible and is part and parcel of Torah tradition.

If you're going to post Christian ethics in the school house, the place to start is the Sermon on the Mount.

But I really don't think MAGAs are comfortable with the Sermon on the Mount because of the message of nonviolence, pacifism, loving your enemies, not passing judgment on other people, and giving to the poor.

I would like to post the five vows of Jainism, because they speak directly to the things MAGAs worship about Trump; lying, sexual immorality, and attachment to money.

I can't think of any President that hasn't had a history of questionable morals. I look to Christ for example of morality and to politicians for sound governmental policy. Who they bonk makes no difference as long as they keep it out of the oval office.

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
