First the Ten Commandments, Now the Bible in Public Schools?
We Need to Shut This Down Fast and Hard
A week ago, I wrote an article about Louisiana passing a law that required all public school classrooms to post the Ten Commandments. It was boosted, so I got a lot of comments, and I’m happy to say that all but one was supportive and positive, and a few were even funny. The author of the one negative comment asked me if I disagreed with any of the ten commandments, that the Ten Commandments “represent the foundation of civil society not a specific religion.”
Hate to break it to her, but they most certainly represent a specific religion, in fact, two specific religions. This person went on to say that “not agreeing with the Ten Commandments is just a petulant adolescent refusal to follow the rules.” I replied to his/her comments, shut down the argument with facts and statements of my own, and blocked the person. I don’t have the time or energy to refute nonsense or narrow mindedness.
Side note: I’m not against the Ten Commandments per se, I’m simply opposed to the required posting of them in public school classrooms. I actually follow most of the commandments, and I try not to lie, steal, or murder anyone, although I don’t refrain from those things because the Bible tells me to, I simply try to be a good person.
