The court said it's too early for the judges to decide if having the Ten Commandments posted in every classroom in Louisiana would violate the Constitution.
Why, is it 5:30am and they're all still in bed?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

News: shitty ass decision gets made by a federal court
Me: 5th circuit?
Govt: yup
As a atheist, do it. Post them. And let's discuss who all is professing to follow them, but breaking them. And let's discuss how and why the tenets of one religion get posted, but not any of the others. And let's talk about separation of church and state and the dangers to both when they get in bed with each other.
And let's talk about why lawmakers are so adamant about posting their religious doctrines on the school walls, but don't lift a finger to stop mass shootings. You would think the "Thou shalt not commit murder" group would be all about regulating the boom boom murder sticks we have in abundance and doing everything they could to protect lives.
Honestly the 10 commandments are mostly just a list of how to not be a horrible person. Let them post it and then let's all have some real HONEST conversations about all the things.
Fine. Now let’s help get the Seven Tenets and Four Noble Truths posted right next to them.
Awww yea, here comes The Satanic Temple to even things out!
Though shalt not fuck with the constitution
Church & state DO NOT belong together.
Let's not force religion upon those who are there to learn.
It is the year 2026. The US Constitution no longer applies.
Just having one of those moments where the sheer nutty-ness of this whole shit show is overwhelming.
These people are simultaneously:
- covering up a ring of pedophile rapist murderers
- engaging in obscene levels of corruption, billions of dollars in the open
- imposing taxes on America's poorest
- actively supporting genocide
- taking the moral high ground by creating a theocracy
I know we're all living with these thoughts every day but every now and again I just want to scream about it.
Just to recap on what you're saying? This regime is:
- a bunch of pedophiles and pedophile protectors
- corrupt as fuck
- robbing citizens blind
- killing brown people en mass
- becoming real life Handsmaid Tale
That right?
Then I guess the 9 satanic commandments can also be shown in schools, right?
I'd prefer the 8 "I'd really rather you didn't" rules of Pastafarianism be displayed. The Church of the flying spaghetti monster',s rules were always pretty reasonable to me:
-
Don’t act all self-righteous: Don't act like you're better than everyone else when describing my Noodlesome Holiness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I’m not that vain.
-
Don’t use my existence to oppress: Don't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
-
Don’t judge people by how they look: Don't judge people by the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they speak, or, well, just play nice, okay?
-
Don’t indulge in behavior that offends yourself: Don’t indulge in behavior that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age and mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is "go fuck yourself," unless they find that offensive, in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk.
-
Don’t challenge the ideas of others on an empty stomach: Don’t challenge the bigoted, misogynist, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat first, then go after the bastard.
-
Don’t build expensive churches/temples: Don't build multimillion-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my Noodlesome Holiness when the money could be better spent ending poverty, curing diseases, living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable.
-
Don’t go around telling people I talk to you: Don’t go around telling people I talk to you. You are not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?
-
Don’t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into leather/lubricant/lasciviousness: Basically, if the other person is into it, then go for it (see suggestion #4), but if they aren't, don't force it.
I agree. They should show them too. But Satanism makes them furious.
Don't forget the 11th commandment.
"Thou shalt consider the supreme law of the land as mere suggestion, for thy personal whim shall outweigh the parchment of the founders."
They're Republicans, so they already have an 11th commandment created by Ronald Reagan in the 1960s, I shit you not. "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."
It's one of the reasons Trump so easily took over the GOP, that they had a stupid rule that they followed that emphatically placed party before country, created by a president who seemed to specialize in making sure that the future was as shitty as possible.
Fucking dumb considering trump started out his presidential path as Reform, then switched to Democrat, then to republican, then back to dem, then to republican... so really he's just a bandwagon poser pedophile piece of shit and I think this 'rule' the dumbfuck republicants made should be null and void to this childfucker.
Why do they hate America so much? Nobody's forcing them to stay.
They think THEY are america. Heritage foundation... stupid entitled fuckbags.
Maybe they will finally read them
For christ‘s sake, wtf!
