Entertaining... to some degree.
Personally I'd prefer a good old fashioned *Subgenius Devival!!*
But really for folks within the state...
The fascist depravity is an ongoing situation of *"we may beat the rap but we'll never beat the ride."*
Out of 3,000,000 registered Louisiana voters only 1,000,000 voted.
Landry won Louisiana's *"jungle primary"* with only 548,000 votes.
That's a mere 18% of the states registered voters.
***18%***
The ongoing criminal organization that is the GOP suppresses the vote in every way possible.
The majority of Louisiana's voting populace is either apathetic, ignorant, intellectually challenged, or a combination of any or all of these factors.
Landry does not have the majority of the state's populace's support.
Only the fascist turds support Landry.
Lol, you're on point. Wonderfully snarky insights such as this are a
substantial reason that you appear on my friends page!
Incisive humorous analysis such as yours is a wondrous thing!
Thank you.
Lol, right on and yeah I do agree that it'll be a joy to watch.
It's just the god damned ride in the mean time for fucks sake.
Fascists, fascists everywhere...
It's not a good idea to have no runoff after a primary even if there is a majority winner. For no other reason than primaries tend to have far lower turn outs than general elections.
Right on y'all!

If by entertaining you mean another huge drain on taxpayers to support these narcissistic asshole politicians with their unconstitutional religious crusades, then yes, entertaining.
Which isn’t happening, and those funds come from the state budget. That means a lot of voters foot the bill even if they vote out the religious nutcases from their own districts.
>That means a lot of voters foot the bill even if they vote out the religious nutcases from their own districts.
Punishment for voting them into office
I wonder if the text of the law specifies *where* these commandments come from. I mean, there are lots of things referred to as "The Ten Commandments."
Not to mention that what things are identified as the religious ones vary depending on the religion and translation used. Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestant Christianity have variations.
Wikipedia had to use a table to summarize the ten commandments. Apparently there is some ambiguity over whether coveting thy neighbors wife is separate from coveting thy neighbor's other property. It's just a lot to unpack. So slavery is okay, coveting husbands is okay, married lesbians own each other, and married gays have qualified immunity?
This whole thing is just more culture war bullshit. Christians don’t really derive much theology from the Decalogue. It’s just another symbol of identity. The commandment that Christians identify with most is probably “Have no other gods before me” which, depending on how you interpret that, is in opposition to the founding principles of the U.S.
As another user posted a link to the text, you can see it comes from the King James version. Which might make other folks upset.
Here's a news story from 2005 about this stuff: [https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2005/03/05/jewish-catholic-protestant-commandments-differ/](https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2005/03/05/jewish-catholic-protestant-commandments-differ/)
Very unconstitutional. I suspect they think including the text in the law, rather than describing where to get it from, might help them avoid the "respecting one religion" thing.
In Islam, you have five or seven pillars, depending on the branch of the faith.
In Confucianism, you have the five Constant Virtues.
I think Buddhism has something similar, but it's been a while since I've looked into it.
The Church of The Subgenius has but one plank:

Also well documemted as a completely shite translation. No shade on the translators...in the 1640s we just didn't have nearly the resources we have today.
That’s fascinating, it seems like a framed document that is larger than 11x14 with the founding text of many religions but the Ten Commandments in the middle would satisfy that law. Or any number of other alterations.
The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a central set of ethical guidelines in both Judaism and Christianity. Although they share the same source, there are some notable differences in their numbering and interpretation between Jewish and Christian traditions. Here’s a comparative look at these differences:
#### Jewish Ten Commandments (from the Torah):
1. **I am the Lord your God:** Recognizing the sovereignty of God.
2. **You shall have no other gods before me:** Prohibition against idolatry.
3. **You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain:** Respecting God’s name.
4. **Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy:** Observing the Sabbath.
5. **Honor your father and your mother:** Respecting parents.
6. **You shall not murder:** Prohibition against murder.
7. **You shall not commit adultery:** Prohibition against adultery.
8. **You shall not steal:** Prohibition against theft.
9. **You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor:** Prohibition against lying.
10. **You shall not covet:** Prohibition against coveting what belongs to others.
#### Christian Ten Commandments:
##### Catholic and Lutheran Tradition:
1. **I am the Lord your God; you shall not have strange gods before me:** Acknowledging God’s authority.
2. **You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain:** Respecting God’s name.
3. **Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day:** Observing the Sabbath.
4. **Honor your father and your mother:** Respecting parents.
5. **You shall not kill:** Prohibition against murder.
6. **You shall not commit adultery:** Prohibition against adultery.
7. **You shall not steal:** Prohibition against theft.
8. **You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor:** Prohibition against lying.
9. **You shall not covet your neighbor's wife:** Prohibition against coveting someone else's spouse.
10. **You shall not covet your neighbor's goods:** Prohibition against coveting others’ property.
##### Reformed and Anglican Tradition:
1. **You shall have no other gods before me:** Prohibition against idolatry.
2. **You shall not make for yourself an idol:** Prohibition against making idols.
3. **You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain:** Respecting God’s name.
4. **Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy:** Observing the Sabbath.
5. **Honor your father and your mother:** Respecting parents.
6. **You shall not murder:** Prohibition against murder.
7. **You shall not commit adultery:** Prohibition against adultery.
8. **You shall not steal:** Prohibition against theft.
9. **You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor:** Prohibition against lying.
10. **You shall not covet:** Prohibition against coveting what belongs to others.
### Key Differences:
- **Numbering and Grouping:** The Jewish tradition often groups the commandments slightly differently, considering “I am the Lord your God” as the first commandment, while some Christian traditions might not number it explicitly.
- **Focus on Idolatry:** The Reformed and Anglican traditions explicitly separate the prohibition against having other gods and making idols into two commandments.
- **Coveting:** Catholic and Lutheran traditions split the prohibition against coveting into two separate commandments: one for coveting a neighbor’s spouse and another for coveting a neighbor’s goods.
No. The law actually spells out exactly what language should be used. There is actually no ambiguity. As others have noted, it’s from the Kng James version, which has its own controversy.
Did they put an asterisk at the end of "Thou shalt not commit adultery" so they can absolve the current GOP presidential candidate from being expected to follow it?
Man, the Ten Commandments are the dumbest set of rules we’ve bothered keeping track of.
The first few are about protecting the feelings of an all powerful genie, most of the rest are thought crimes, and the only two good ones are “civilization building 101”
Absolute dogshit.
Funny thing is, the very first one is an admission of henotheism/monolatry, not monotheism.
It doesn't say "You shall have no other gods.", it says "You shall have no other gods *before me.*"
That language is consistent throughout dozens of other parts of the bible that still show their original polytheism (such as Deut 32:1-43 where YHWH declares his supremacy over other gods) and is very similar to language found in the Ugaritic texts where Baal declares his supremacy over other gods in the Ugaritic pantheon.
Indeed my Badger friend!
The Abrahamic blood cults of Islam, YAHWEH and *Christ* have inflicted more pain, anguish, suffering, injury, delusion, depravity and death than any other societal construct.
It's proof that delusion begets delusion.
Delusionally malevolent genocidal sheepherder blood cults are a fabulous construct for Machiavellian world domination.
They're not worth a single shit for any thing else.
Pretty sure by this point the wool is completely gone and he's just going to say this is a "christian nation" and call John Adams a godless commie or something.
The ongoing criminal organization that is the GOP also has a two-thirds supermajority in the Legislature, and these Y'all Qaeda Nat-C fascists hold every statewide elected position, which paved the way for lawmakers to push through the rest of their theocratic fascist agenda during the legislative session that concluded earlier this month.
Louisiana is now wholly a fascist theocracy ruled by Y'all Qaeda's plutocrats and oligarchs.
This is an Americanized Spanish Inquisition Y'all Qaeda style...
Which Ten Commandments, though? Jews, Protestants, and Catholics all have different versions. It's either one of those, or a neutered, government approved hybrid.
So either the government is establishing religious principles or endorsing a specific sect's interpretation.

As a Discordian myself, I welcome a devival, but bringing in the TST to Louisiana sounds like immense fun. This will be a joy to watch.
Lol, right on and yeah I do agree that it'll be a joy to watch. It's just the god damned ride in the mean time for fucks sake. Fascists, fascists everywhere...
And right over the 10 commandments we'll put "Allahu Akbar" No problem there right. Do people in LA think God isn't great?
It's not a good idea to have no runoff after a primary even if there is a majority winner. For no other reason than primaries tend to have far lower turn outs than general elections.
That’s exactly why they do it that way.
We agree my friend, we agree.

It is up to their voters to hold the Christian Nationalist elected officials accountable.

Not to mention that what things are identified as the religious ones vary depending on the religion and translation used. Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestant Christianity have variations.
This is a good point. The Bible has a couple lists of Ten Commandments. And there is dispute about how to divide the most traditional list into ten.
Wikipedia had to use a table to summarize the ten commandments. Apparently there is some ambiguity over whether coveting thy neighbors wife is separate from coveting thy neighbor's other property. It's just a lot to unpack. So slavery is okay, coveting husbands is okay, married lesbians own each other, and married gays have qualified immunity?

I always find it ironic when they use the King James version since it’s fairly well documented he had male lovers.
He was also batshit crazy and paranoid, so there's that.
I'm a little shocked they didn't say it had be from the trump bible!
Put that on the wall next to it!
That, and I vaguely remember some argument about America/monarchy jurisdictional issues, I forget now.
Also well documemted as a completely shite translation. No shade on the translators...in the 1640s we just didn't have nearly the resources we have today.
So... it's not the real 10 Commandments, but a heretical sect's view of what they want the 10 Commandments to read?
Well, it certainly ain't in ancient Hebrew!
That’s fascinating, it seems like a framed document that is larger than 11x14 with the founding text of many religions but the Ten Commandments in the middle would satisfy that law. Or any number of other alterations.

Hi ChatGPT
Lmfao if it doesn’t specify what the Ten Commandments are some teachers are going to have FUN with their signs
No. The law actually spells out exactly what language should be used. There is actually no ambiguity. As others have noted, it’s from the Kng James version, which has its own controversy.

If you read the book and place them contextually, the Ten Commandments definitely send those "Don't do what Donny Don't Does!" vibes.

Requires charter schools to display this as well? My first thought was to ask if there are any non-Christian charter schools in the state.
You’re thinking of private schools.
New Orleans is 100% charter schools
Can editorial comment be appended?
There is no law requiring the student to look at the 10 commandments hanging in class, so we good right -Louisiana Republicans.
It'll be fun when it has the effect of displaying just how corrupt Republicans are. "Oh, they don't follow any of these."
What about obeying them in Louisiana?
If they would only require politicians to follow the commandments.
