It's a good start. This only applied to a few schools.

Annnnnnd, it worked just as planned. This was never not going to happen and everyone with half a brain knew it.

#4 | POSTED BY LFTHNDTHRDS So.. you are telling me that the republicans in Texas spent all that time and money to pass and now defend an unconstitutional law in court because they knew it was "never going to happen"?
That's some impressive 11 dimensional chess right there.

It's publicity and it's worth the investment, politically speaking. It's sad you didn't know this.

Publicly declaring (for political purposes) that you are FOR trying to pass clearly unconstitutional laws is a poor investment of taxpayer dollars for your citizens.
Sad that you do not know this. Are you from Texas? That could explain a lot.

Nowhere did I say I was for any of that, I simply pointed out what it was meant to do. But you do you, and broad-brush everyone who doesn't blindly agree with everything you believe.
No, I'm not FROM Texas, but I do reside in Texas.

Nobody intelligent and self-aware wants Evanglical "teachings". Nobody.

More proof that right-wing Christians are being oppressed by not being able to force their beliefs on children.

They should just post these alongside the 10 commandments, along with any other lists of religious commandments. The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth by Anton Szandor LaVey 1967

They "planned" on wasting taxpayer dollars on a foolish unconstitutional ploy they knew would be struck down in the courts?
You clearly said it was worth the investment (politically speaking) .
It looks like a terrible investment of time and money.

So you ARE from Texas. Explains a lot.
OK fine. So don't let me put the words you spoke in your mouth.
Speak for yourself then.
Do YOU agree with the state? Is it ok to post the ten commandments in a publicly funded school? Is allowing schools to violate the U.S. Constitution ok with YOU?

Putting the 10 commandments in schools was always gonna be turned over.
Hotwheels and the rest of the legislature knew it.
This is just another virtue signaling issue designed to fire up the voters that are too dumb to understand the Constitution.
A waste of taxpayer money to write the law, vote on it, implement it and defend it.
A better use of the money would be to develop a flood warning system.
Being paper christians is more important than actually protecting children.

I always find it quite humorous: The absolute insistence by do-gooders on placing Bibles and the 10-Commandments in public schools.
You know, the same public schools that employ public-school teachers.
The very public-school teachers that those do-gooders have always complained about being liberals, anti-religious, atheists.
They want to place those Judeo-Christian religious artifacts in public schools, where questions by students will be answered by public-school teachers.
Humorous.

And the party of kill democrats for stating the obvious - don't follow illegal orders.
You have no room at all to criticize. None. It's laughable when you try it.

But not Republicans. They really Really REALLY enjoy being evil.
Suffering and cruelty are the point. Apparently.
But no worries! It's for your own good. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
And remember ... ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL.

No I don't agree with what was done but I don't agree with a lot of political shenanigans pulled by both sides. The main reason I don't agree with the 10 commandments thing is because once it's allowed, it opens up whole other can of worms for every religion out there to do it. My belief is that religion is best taught in the worship place and fortified at home.

So your only problem with forcing christianity on kids is that our pesky constitution mandates we'd have to treat other religious equally. How horrible.

Is it impossible for you to make an honest comment?
If parents chose to raise their children in the Christian faith - or any other faith - that's their business. I keep my nose out of it and you should too.
#27 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-11-21 02:36 PM | Reply
If they keep their faith out of my life then I can leave their faith alone.
But they are determined to enforce their faith on everyone, and their faith is used to manipulate them into voting to replace democracy with fascism, and that involves me.
Frankly anyone who believes the end times are coming shouldnt be allowed near the levers of power. Only people who think humans must solve human problems.

Then stop the promotion of animist religions like the cult of "Global Warming" or the religion of Atheism

Climate change isn't a religion because it's not about faith it's about facts. Data and math. What people with brains use to make decisions.
And who promotes atheism? Pointing out that christianity is full of BS isn't promoting atheism. Again, it's just more facts that upset you.

BS. Easy to say much harder to do. Especially when you have no respect for the law or the Constitution or the rights of others. That's how these "commandments" ended up in the public schools in the first place. Religion. And. People like you. Even though they knew it was against the law and the intent of the law. They did it anyway.
You want the governments nose to be in everyone's business right now. Thats how you draw out the liberal minded so you can target them.
Everyone who does NOT agree with the King is to be traumatized.
Heck of religion you got there. Look at you claiming you want to stay out of other folks business! lol That some funny shat right there.
How's that mass deportation and "DEI Purge" coming along? Violated enough civil rights yet? Traumatized enough public servants yet? Got yer fill of cruelty and the suffering of others yet?
GFY with your "religion" and your lies.

The billionaires have decided Gaia and climate change no longer matter because of the billions they plan to make from AI. AI needs carbon. The math says pivot.

Elon went fully from "climate change is the biggest threat facing humanity" to "trans kids are the biggest threat facing humanity"

You don't serve the truth. You repackage atrocity as attitude and sin as sincerity. Your whole job is to Febreze the moral corpse of a movement that smells like a jockstrap marinated in Mountain Dew Code Red, pork rinds, and January 6 cosplay sweat.
Then you lather it in Jesus, slap on some pearls, and expect the rest of us to swallow it like communion wine.
