I live over in Arkansas where they've mandated 12 commandments (and I get to see them every day, working in a school) and let me tell you, they don't have the intended effect, unless the intended effect is driving people further away from Christianity in droves by making a show of forcing it down everyone's throat. So, sure, whatever Texas, breed us some angry atheists in a generation.
edit: We did away with all the woke commandments and added Stand your Ground, Prosperity Gospel, Hungry Kids Are Just Lazy, and Charter Schools as White as Snow
Wait, what are the two that they added?
Worship Thy Leader, and Strength Through Superior Firepower.
Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
God is power.
God's lost commandments
(go watch moral orel)
The Table of Commandments has expanded over the years, as new commandments have been found, and also made up.
Maybe the poophole loophole
I'm fuckin' dyin' here lol.
I read the bible a bit in my youth. Wasn't Christian before, wasn't Christian after. If anything it left me wonder about the sanity of the authors...
