I wonder how many billions of dollars have been wasted on this complete shit over the centuries?
Worst of all, we have to pay their taxes, too. I despise having to support their absolute lunacy

The people who pushed for such a blatantly unconstitutional law should be removed from office.
if we could just detach texas and arkansas and set them afloat
When people wanna quote the Ten Commandments, remind them of Mark 12:17: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and render unto God what is God's." Quote is attributed to Jesus. He was saying take care of your secular business before your religious business. And for fuck's sake, if you're gonna say it out loud, at least pronounce Caesar as Jesus did, not like you're talking about fucking salad dressing.
It's "Kie-sahr," not "See-zer." Caesar would probably have you up on a cross getting nibbled on by crows while you starve to death if you called him "See-zer" to his face. If you've seen the second season of the show Fallout, they pronounce it correctly. That's because in the video game, Fallout: New Vegas (2010), about half of them did. That Caesar didn't really care, but Julius, Augustus, or fucking Caligula? Yeah, your mispronunciation would be their dinner entertainment.
Anyway, for context, the Jews were asking Jesus if it was okay to pay taxes to Caesar or if they should tithe to the church first. And Jesus basically said "go handle your business." The Caesars were not nice people (even if you could say their name right), but since when have our leaders ever been nice?
Interesting, where do you get the pronunciation from though? I always thought it was somehow related to the notion of seize the throne, thus see-zer.
Well, you see, in ancient rome they spoke Latin instead of english. The roman Caesar is the origin of both the german Kaiser and the Russian Tsar/Czar. Kai-sar was how it would be pronounced in latin
It was his family name well before he took the throne.
Gotta love the Old Testament…..
Another win for normalcy!
I have a one-time deal for the Christian right. We will cover up all of these commandments.
If you can recite 5 of them, as a society we will allow you to post them.
Nah.
Hell, ill allow it if we may also post the Satanic Tenants right next to it, same size, and clearly stating THE SATANIC TENANTS on top
I believe that's "Tenets" unless they're paying rent
Church of Satan or The Satanic Temple? The latter is more politically involved, but the former straight up says "Do not harm children." I am not paraphrasing, that is one of their "Eleven rules of the earth." Why are Satanists (albeit, LaVeyan Satanists) the only religion standing up for kids?
