It’s not about believing in...It’s just such an Historical notice in our History and it does NOT establish a religion.
A better thing to do is teach the Commanments at home while abolishing the god of public schools.
They were sent to show people they were all sinners and how to love God, and treat your neighbor.
Not a single commandment has any punishment attached. And following the 10 commandments won't get you to heaven.
Back when I was in public elementary school (a long time ago), our teachers would lead us in a brief nondenominational prayer before lunch. That was a good thing!
The key word there is “nondenominational”. Is a poster listing the Ten Commandments nondenominational? I think not. Therefore, I am very reluctantly against such a poster in a public school.
“Because all Christians believe in the 10 commandments right?”
And the answer you are getting is “not really”, but good to force it on everyone anyhow...
But with that said what is it hurt? Who is actually harmed by it?
Rather than repeatedly ask questions....what are YOUR thoughts on this, Vespa?
Right?
I don’t object to the ten commandments appearing in a classroom if they aren’t taught as theistic. They make a convenient display to teach the moral code that binds a society together. If you don’t teach Thou Shalt Not Kill as a pillar of society, then you don’t have a cohesive society. But once you try to make worship of a god a pillar of education, you’ve crossed a line. It can be a way to discuss the history of Christianity as a cornerstone of Western Civilization after the influence of multitheism previous to Christ. All that is legitimate under the constitution. The only line is you can’t tell people that it means they SHOULD be theistic. But it’s a cornerstone of society to teach what rules a society must follow in order for society to survive.
If you put the Ten Commandments back in school you won’t need horse**** like DEI and all the other moronic liberal crap they have racists programming into our children.
They believe in them; but, many don't abide by them.
“Because all Christians believe in the 10 commandments right?”
“Christians” (as the pejoritive word that appears in the Bible three times and is used as the modern identification of New Testament believers in Jesus) believe the “whole counsel of God” and the complete scriptures that we are privileged to have today. This includes the small list of the “Ten Commandments,” which we believe in because, like all scripture, they point to Jesus.
The Ten Commandments are about Jesus.
Luke 24:27 NKJV
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
Acts 20:27 NKJV
For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
Galatians 3:24-26 NKJV
Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
The USSC has ruled on this exact issue more than once.
Texas will lose this impending case.
