I included those in the count.
Use "me" instead of "myself".
The suggestion was that the effort is an indoctrination attempt and not a constitutional argument for the inclusion of the 10. Obviously, they are known as Christian and from Abrahamic origin. My suggestion is that this is a 1st amendment issue and that the 10 do more to protect other religions and the non-religious than imposing religion on anyone. I particularly like the no requirement affirmation that we are not required to make idols and worship them and how the honor your mother and father would dictate allowing others to do the same. The God reference is broad and if you don't prescribe to Christianity or Abrahamic religions, then even currency has a God association attached. A particular point I make is "what isn't God"? Of course I'm a Pantheist who identifies as a Panenthiest, so my understanding of God is my own and no one is required to view this the same way.
But they are his religion and hence obviously true. Street preacher logic.
Go back and read the Louisiana State Constitution section 8 on freedom of religion, it is effectively the same as the US Constitution. Your state's rights argument is irrelevant in that this law is just as illegal in Louisiana by their own constitution even if for some reason their laws superseded the federal laws. Your argument is silly in it's ignorance of actual law.
Street logic suggests that you place your mind upon my view erroneously. For example: The Christian march cannot succeed in this nation, nor can a Muslim march, nor one of Judaism or any other. Our secular nation prevents this, or is structured in a way that should do so. The issue, as I see it, is in the fear factor and association of religious rule. As a state and under constitutional law, the 10 commandments should be permitted in Louisiana and attempts to convert others not of Christian origin should be shackled by the inclusion of the displays that reflect their state majorities citizen base.
The 2nd sentence doesn't follow from the 1st.
Like I said, street preacher logic. I remember the bank and its retainer wall at Shattuck and Vine. Regularly occupied.
If I was Muslim and if I am expected to honor my upbringing, then what happens if I convert to Christianity? Will I still be viewed as honorable and within their good graces according to their law?
Except that it is not and this has been adjudicated numerous times even all the way to the SC.
This.

It appears you need a drink.This. The founding fathers who made the constitution were inspired by figures like Genghis Khan more than Christians (google it)
The ones who put together the constitution, gave us a country where American citizens had a right to own slaves, many of our leaders and presidents before Abraham Lincoln owned slaves.
So, obviously the constitution doesn't matter, because we strongly, as a general rule, on average, in America, disagree with the lifestyle and rights the founding fathers of America and authors of the constitution said American citizens are allowed, and deemed acceptable.
President Abraham Lincoln fought the bloodiest war for America, to take away rights, freedoms, liberties, and lifestyles that the authors of the constitution and early presidents+ leaders, fathers of America granted + did not make illegal or deem it unacceptable.
So, no, Americans these days, the ones on the side of Abe Lincoln, should have no respect for the authors of the constitution.
No where does the Bible promote democracy. It promotes theocracy, where God selected and anointed a king. And the people did not vote.
(Coincidentally, 6/19 is the celebration of freedom from slavery, abolition "June Teenth". It is my sobriety date I want to keep as freedom from slavery of addiction.)

So what?
Look, I am no fan of the Ten Commandments being displayed, as I've stated numerous times in this very thread. I'm just giving their take on things.Except that it is not and this has been adjudicated numerous times even all the way to the SC.
