Well, that's it. I hopped on Lemmy to pass some free time but I'm opting out and going to play video games or something. Lunacy in Utah, West Virginia, and Alabama. It's one too many articles about the religious nutbags trampling our rights in their quest to bring about a theocratic state. See you all tomorrow.

but wants to add other biblical precepts
So the Ten Commandments is not enough for them?
I just read HB 269.
There’s a big list of hallelujah shit for Utah schools. IN GOD WE TRUST must be displayed prominently. Selecting excerpts (cherry picking for god) from the Magna Carta, the Ten Commandments, the Mayflower Compact, the pledge of allegiance, etc and displaying or distributing copies of these excerpts in public schools is an acceptable part of the curriculum. This indoctrination shall not be censored due to religious or cultural beliefs.
To answer your question, no, the 10 C’s is just a tiny piece of the dismantling of free thought. The “non-profit” church now demands to have carte blanche influence on all kids in public schools.
Horrific. Just horrific. Thanks for looking it up.
Jokes on them. They pray to Jesus, call him the son of god and make pictures depicting both Jesus and god as white men. This is all against the first three commandments.
Joke's* on them
(Short for "The joke is on them".)
I know you don't care but Jesus is a facet of God, a triune entity. I could go on but it really isn't worth it to waste effort arguing theistic concepts with atheists. Might as well try and get dry aging tips from a vegan.
But yeah, graven images is still right out.
And Jesus was certainly not a white man.
You are right. I don't care about some comic book without pictures that's 2000 years old.
How sad for you, it's got some pretty good stories.
Oh, I've read them. Some Jesus parables are good. Comparable to some advice Gandalf has given to the hobbits.
Which isn't surprising considering Tolkien was a devout Christian.
Making both Christian stories and Tolkien words good works for fiction. Cool!
Cute little edgelad, got any more memes today?
Nah. You, sweetheart?
Oh I got shittons of them, been doing this a while.
None for you though, you're a windowlicker.
Whatever helps you get off.
... Now you're making it weird...
Didn't Arkansas or Mississippi already get told that they couldn't make the ten commandments government supported. There was some Court house somewhere
Alabama
There's no downside to just ignoring the supreme court if you want to. They e bitten off any teeth theyight have had.
Is there some kind of refugee status for people trying to get out of the state? Asking for a friend. Namely, myself.
Let me know if you find anything out - enby Furry in Texas.
I’m so happy I live in a super blue state and don’t have to worry about any of this nonsense.
Yet.
Well, if Trump gets elected that’s a different story. The handmaids tale.
A new theocratic state, just what we need in the world... right?
ISIL has been quiet for a while. Maybe this is their latest joint.
Utah teenagers really need to know the rights granted by King John to 25 wealthy barons (later revoked) in Medieval England, for some reason.
Glad I don't live in america
Yeah, this is something I'd expect to see on Moral Orel.
Time for the better Temple to bring some school dispays!
Wait add the Magna Carta to the curriculum? Is that not already in the curriculum? It's kind of important.
It’s not really that important outside of understanding what it is and the history. It’s not like our constitution, it’s just a set of laws most of which aren’t in place anymore
I think it was mentioned in history class when I was in school, but the actual text wasn't there.
i wish i could inject the satanic temple into various situations at will
Only if they also add my commandments.
- thou shalt piss on any religious laws
- thou shalt laugh at any who say you can’t. Use the phrase “pillar of righteousness” and “sincerely held beliefs”
- thou shall sue the fuck out of Utah religious discrimination
Utah, what the fuck man.
