Yes

They can pray but our laws weren't founded on the Koran but biblical principle.

10 commandments are biblical principles
Not forced religion.

It's not a big deal but it's not constitutional either. Sorry, the government doesn't get to promote one religion over another one. This one will be slapped down relatively shortly.

---

Your interpretation is not the original interpretation of the Constitution. All states were Christian at the founding, and many had an official christian denomination at the time of the founding. The federal government was not to have an established official denomination so as not to favor certain states/regions over another, but there was not a prohibition on the states doing what they pleased in this regard .

---

In my life, I have never heard this. I have nothing to refute it with, but Texas has never been anything but a conservative Christian state. I have a hard time believing they would have just given that up if were there to begin with.

---

I think Dexippus must have skipped past William Penn and the history of Pennsylvania in their learnings.

Freedom of religion means just that. Not freedom to pick a denomination or freedom to pick which Christian church you go to.

Nah, it's a fair comparison. It's a state endorsement of a specific religion. In addition to violating the First Amendment, it violates the Texas Constitution.

Quote:

---

Sec. 7. APPROPRIATIONS FOR SECTARIAN PURPOSES. No money shall be appropriated, or drawn from the Treasury for the benefit of any sect, or religious society, theological or religious seminary; nor shall property belonging to the State be appropriated for any such purposes.

---

Stop using the power of the government to force your religious beliefs on everyone. Go to church all you want, display this in private schools all you want, but do not do this in public schools. It is wrong for you to make me pay for this.

As an aside, this will not convert anyone to the faith. If anything, it will just push more people away.

"Moderates" cowing to the bat**** crazy left is what's causing the rise on the right. If being tolerant has resulted in being railroaded, then the options are to become intolerant or obsolete.

No raindrop blames itself for the flood, but the big power players (government, media, banks, corporations) have become a raging torrent eroding our homes and pulling everything leftward. We stood on the banks. We sandbagged. Now we're scrambling to erect dams at various points along the river.

We see you as the fool whose house is about to be swept away and is jeering at us for those efforts.

Frederick, you bring up a great point. This is just a stunt meant to make the other side angry. They know it's unconstitutional and they know their pews are more and more empty each passing Sunday, so they resort to the old tactic of forcing religion on young people, hoping it will bring them back (it won't).

So you're right, it's a move made mostly out of anger and frustration, even if it disregards the state and federal constitutions.

Thanks for your hard-hitting analysis as always, you've always brought great, thought provoking ideas to the table.

Have a great day, Fred.

Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and others were deists not overtly Christian. Both Washington and Jefferson were adamant and have quotes affirming the US was not founded on Christian values.

The native Americans, particularly the Iroquois Confederacy, influenced the US Constitution as much as anything else.

Yeah, they were deists. Not Christians

I invite your continued commentary. I've always liked you and you seem like a great guy who's fun to hang out with. Let's grab beers sometime.

To those who favor this law, let's make a deal:

Force all schools to display the Ten Commandments and bible verses of your choosing. In exchange, churches have to pay taxes.

If they want to be part of politics and public life, they have to pay the price of admission like the rest of us.

To satisfy the libs, don't post it as the Ten Commandments. Post it as 10 Rules to live by that will make you happier. Don't steal, don't kill, don't lie, don't have sex outside marriage, show respect to your parents, don't be jealous or covet are easily justified in economic and psychological terms. Idols too. One True God is more difficult but we can think of something.

I think they failed by trusting the government and not fighting the leftist bullsh** philosophies like "it takes a village to raise a child" etc.

They focused on providing for their families and creating opportunities, but they didn't take the leftist movements in government, schools etc. seriously enough. They should have fought that sh** like hell. Hard to blame them though, it's enough to have to just take care of your family...it's adding a lot to someone's plate to have to worry about fighting an ever-creeping slow burn of youth indoctrination that is the leftist cultural war that has been waged for decades now.

You are right, we are a wretched "Sodom and Gomorrah" nation, congrats, y'all won. Or, you're winning. I guess some people are trying to swing the pendulum back the other way, away from constant degenerate filth and psycho secular leftist BS.

I don't understand what requiring every school to display the 10 Commandments is going to do for putting God in the schools. It just sounds like some govt thing patting themselves on the back for "doing something".

How about ensuring schools and administrations don't discriminate against students who make their own decisions to display their own faith? Or having Christian organizations that can meet and students can make their own choice without being frowned on for it? Or keeping leftist ideology out of the classroom? Or added security for our schools? Or doing more to ensure our districts have moral leadership that won't be corrupted?

No, we're going to tell every school to hang up the 10 Commandments and that will make things better. Yay government for doing something!

At the very least, it sends additional signals to any leftist that would consider moving here. Much like wayward decaying states like CA and CO are doing by declaring themselves mastectomy and puberty blocking safe havens for children and pre-teens, and by pushing for things like full term abortions.

We have to start adopting their tactics to some degree and countering them as best we can.

But yeah, at the very least, it tells white liberal secular psychos..."NOT WELCOME...FIND ANOTHER STATE".

By the way, so many of you would be shocked to hear that many of our boomer parents and grandparents had actual prayers in school and even read the Bible from time to time.

Any morality you may have (along with being an artifact) is unfounded and non-transferable.

You may have a conscious and instilled Christian / American values, but with the removal of God you have no rational basis to obey any of them outside of consequentialism. And you most certainly have no claim on anyone else's behavior.

Without common value structures and beliefs based in God, there is nothing rational beyond hedonism, self preservation, and nihilism. A nation filled with people who "just do what they want" requires external force to keep from falling apart. And that force (typically oppressive government or warlords) has no morality to keep it in check.
