Families of Louisiana schoolchildren who sued over a law requiring a Ten Commandments display in every classroom are now asking a court to block the law before children return to school in August.
Why not display the original from the Torah? In the original Hebrew language?
Or at least display all three versions as written in the Protestant Bible.
Seems kind of silly though; it would make much more sense for Christians to display Deuteronomy 6:4-15, since that’s what Jesus stated was the greatest commandment.
Well, sure, if they weren’t misrepresenting their motives. The real motive is indoctrination and the incorporation of a specific flavor of Christianity into all aspects of USAian society, transforming it into a theocracy. They’re not particularly subtle about this. :)
The part they haven’t appeared to think through is what subset of subset of Christianity are they going for. They could talk to the people in Salem, MA. about that, but they won’t.
“blessed are the cheese makers?”
“it’s not meant to be taken literally my dear, it refers to any manufacturer of dairy products…”
In a 2-hour quote fest, that is my favorite. The particularly arrogant tone of the response while being completely incorrect about one of humanity’s noble attempts at what a better world looks like just kills.
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

And they would never display quotes from sermon on the mound because its too woke.

Now, this one, I’d like to see.
Some religious Jewish people do actually wear parts of their scriptures, at least part of the time.

Supposedly you get accosted at Israeli airports with guys trying to tie them on you if you’re a secular Jew.
