Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday. 

The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed. 

Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.

Fuck religion. Specially Catholics and Christians are full of pedos and assholes.

Agreed 100%. But we must not forget that Muslims worship a pedophile as their profit. And devout jews still have rabbis suck the blood off the freshly circumcised baby as tradition dictates.

All of these abrahamic religions are absolute trash. And we can't forget the recent offshoots Mormonism and scientology.

Remember folks, all of these assholes get massive amounts of undeserved tax breaks for no reason, and you dont.

EDIT: I didn't mean to imply scientology is an offshoot of the abrahamic religions. It's just a recent offshoots religion, that gets tax breaks like the rest. Poorly worded.

Any one left not believing in science first that would like to believe in gods, have I got a religion for you!... I haven't figured out all the details yet but we are efficient. We'll be using the last copy of pacbell's phone book. Incredibly most people who perished that year actually had their names mysteriously listed in that oh so great book. And finally, but most importantly, we can set up automatic withdrawal for your monthly, tax deductable, donation. If you want to bring up saint and shit, we're pretty much open to that. St. Steve for example helps us with programming bugs. Slowly he's getting used to python miracles. St. Bob will get you neighbors with tools to borrow from. St. Jessica will make you popular in school. And Saint Alina of the mysterious vajayjay will indeed find you that man of your dreams. So long as your account is engaged, you got nothing to fear. We got no hell or Devil in our religion. Just normal shit like that stupid stop light that takes forever to change or the homeless guy who might use your money to buy drugs so you can't decide if you should give him money or not.

Jewish babies get an immediate bj to make up for being circumcised?

What

[-] maniclucky@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Wait. Is scientology related to the abrahamic religions?

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

No. I'm just saying we shouldn't forget about them, due to the fact they get tax breaks just like the others.

I'd even argue mormonism is barely based on the abrahamics. Yeah they believe in Jesus stuff, but the whole Joseph Smith thing is just, too silly.

[-] maniclucky@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Mormonism is like acid-trip-based fanfiction for displaced Europeans to feel included in shit that may or may not have happened in the middle east.
