Louisiana becomes first state to require that Ten Commandments be displayed in public classrooms

[Regiomontanus]

Its amendment process is better than the Bible’s.
With superior results.

The truth does not need ammenments. The process for the Constitution, on the other hand, is a joke and pretty much impossible today, because of the divisions in society. But I get it, you never miss an opportunity to criticize Christianity. If it makes you feel better...

 

[Revoltingest]

The truth does not need ammenments.

Yet interpretations of the Bible change greatly over the centuries. And Christians can’t ever agree what it means, eg, abortion, speech, gay marriage, war, murder. It lacks coherence and specificity. And urges evil in many passages.
If there’s anything “true” in it, it’ lost in the fog of division.

 

[We Never Know]

Yes.
All of them, world wide, at the exact same time.
And absolutely no reason to stop at the Bible....

Pretty much most all literature over 100 years old is outdated and flawed. Should we burn it all?

That the truth has been lost to many - so true.

 

[Pogo]

Yes, thanks. I took a civics class in elementary school.

Then what leads you to the impression that LA's law requiring display of a religious text is constitutional let alone a good idea?

 

[McBell]

the Biblically condoned slavery has been condemned by society.
With out an amendment...

I actually agree with you here.

But I get it, you never miss an opportunity to criticize Christianity.

Such low hanging fruit is sometimes impossible to resist.

If it makes you feel better...

I have no idea how it makes them feel.

Your truth or my truth or do we have an agreed upon standard in this country?

 

[McBell]

My apologies.
I thought my including "And absolutely no reason to stop at the Bible...." already clearly address this question.

Apparently not.

You missed my point; I don't care about the Constitution.

 

[Regiomontanus]

Your truth or my truth or do we have an agreed upon standard in this country?

There is only one truth.

 

[Viker]

Yes, thanks. I took a civics class in elementary school.

Really? What period was that class?

 

[Regiomontanus]

Really? What period was that class?

If only my memory was that good!

 

[Viker]

There is only one truth.

Yes. One truth and hundreds of ways to interpret it.

 

[Pogo]

You missed my point; I don't care about the Constitution.

Which leads me to ask why are you posting in a thread about the constitution?

Which version of Christianity, yours, the Southern Baptist, the Roman Catholic?

 

[We Never Know]

My apologies.

Just wanted your clarification.

 

[We Never Know]

Which version of Christianity, yours, the Southern Baptist, the Roman Catholic?

Would that depend on their culture?
Religion is determined by culture as well as it has an influence on culture.

 

[McBell]

Just wanted your clarification.

Fair enough

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And yet it is quoted hundreds of times in Supreme Court decisions making it a legal document. Much of our legal system is based on the Ten Commandments.

It's not a legal document. If it was then it would have legal binding. It has none. Thomas Jefferson plagarized John Locke, not the Bible, and it's already been said by a SC Justice is a nation of predominantly Christians but definitely not a Christian Nation.

As though they ever had it.
