They have traded their morals for power, they are not for peace or harmony only to have everybody subject to their whims. They have picked authoritarian leaders like Trump and Putin who only pay lip service to Christianity and brandishing their torches are marching on the constitution and the idea of liberty and equality for all.
And they are passing these laws because they are already majority Christian and as @Balthazzar seems to think, these Christian ideas this will improve their lot relative to those atheist liberal states.
An attempt by Christian nationalists to overturn 250 years of American progress.
Ah yeah. "States rights". The ultimate excuse to deprive (undesirable) individuals their rights.
I agree that is we ignore the constitution then we don't have any basis for our laws. How is this relevant to our discussion?
Boy, is he sure out of luck when it comes time to get Heavenly rewards, cause he ain't gettin' non. His reward is this earhtly praise he gets from these very worldly minded Christians. Jesus makes this clear.Another recent article by the New York Times relevant to the thread that helps explain why this case is part of a larger pattern that everyone living in the United States should be aware of:
"One new law requires that transgender students be addressed by the pronouns for the gender on their birth certificates (“God gives us our mark,” he said). Another allows public schools to employ chaplains (“a great step for expanding faith in public schools”).Then he signed into law a mandate that the Ten Commandments be hung in every public classroom, demonstrating a new willingness for Louisiana to go where other states have not. Last month, Louisiana also became the first state to classify abortion pills as dangerous controlled substances.“We don’t quit,” Mr. Landry, a Republican, said at the signing ceremony.Taken together, the measures have signaled the ambition of the governor and the Republican-led Legislature to be at the forefront of a growing national movement to create and interpret laws according to a particular conservative Christian worldview. And Mr. Landry, a Catholic who has been vocal about his faith’s influence in shaping his politics, wants to lead the charge."
Louisiana’s Ten Commandments Law Signals a Broader Christian Agenda
Gov. Jeff Landry wants his state to be at the forefront of a national movement to advance legislation with a Christian worldview.www.nytimes.com
It's relevant to this thread & that's what I'm here to discuss.
Ok, have a nice day.
That governor must be a Rockstar or something!
So, what about the billions of people who lived before Jesus or lived in lands whereas they never heard of him-- don't the count?
No. Obviously, they were stupid to have been born too early. They should have waited until God sired JC. God doesn't like people with no proper sense of timing!
Nor diversity, or so it seems.
It's sad. This SC I do believe would also rule against Dred Scott.
Always resort to slander. Of course they would not.
Yeah that's right we separated from a government that had no separation of church and state, it was even assumed that the king was granted his powers from heaven.
Of course there were no prior examples of cases like his before so they had to go with the original words and while we are at it, even though evolving standards of cruel and unusual punishment have been allowed since 1910, that is obviously a bad idea since it wasn't written down in exact words before.
That's what people said about Roe v Wade.
On what grounds?
