Texas Senate approves bills requiring 10 Commandments in K-12 classrooms, Bible time in school

[Captain Stern]

28. I have an issue with this post.

You clearly stated that you had "a couple of questions to ask them"......then you proceeded to list four questions. No reasonable person would argue that that wasn't deceptive.

Kidding aside, ask them how many of the ten commandments are now law? (They'll probably say not enough).

But the truth is, breaking most of the ten commandments isn't illegal.

I'm going to give them the 'not stealing', 'not murdering/killing' and 'bearing false witness (perjury?)..but other than that, the rest of the commandments are pretty much treated like suggestions.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me": Totally legal to have other gods.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image": yup..legal also to have graven images.

"Thou shalt not commit adultery": yes, legal to commit adultery

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy": nobody cares.

"Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's (fill in the blank).: That's basically just a thought crime. Not illegal.

"Honor thy Mother and Father": again not illegal to not honor/obey them. And the bible even gives an 'out' on that. It says you don't have to honor or obey them if they are telling you to break one of the other commandments, which kind of makes this commandment useless.
