Well said. Thank you! Meanwhile groups for Liberty and Freedom who bring the constitution around in their pocket are trying to force us all to comply.

What we are supposed to follow them but their president can ignore them?

Fuck every single politician AND person who thinks their religion belongs in public school.

Most of these Republicans are fake Christians.

I'm reminded that the US has a history of claiming religion as a virtue when in fact it's marred in tyranny, murder, slavery & oppression.

Yet, it persists & people stay ignorant.

How are we going to prevent school shootings if we don't remind kids that it's a sin to make graven images?

They’re not qualified to discuss this…

The far right wants their noses in every facet of other's lives, from reproduction, to religion, reading material, purchasing power, jobs, life-saving medical treatment & research, vital food distribution programs, public education, individual rights & due process, all under the guise of religion.

Why the hell does anyone live in Texas (or Florida, or Missouri, or Utah, or Idaho, or Georgia, or Mississippi, or South Carolina, or ANY red state)??

Imagine debating literally anything else far more important.

Will it be Thee-Thou, You-Me? Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran, Baptist? All are different. So many arguments are about to happen...

They can't follow any of them but of course they want everyone else to.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask just ONE (1) RepubliKKKan what the Commandment:

"Thou shalt not bear false witness"

means.....

The answer is going to be something like 'habeus corpus'

Finally common sense in Texas.

If they force the
10 Commandments in schools, they must also display the
Seven Deadly Sins. Precisely how they behave.
Give examples using trump, Abbott and Paxton.

I would like to point out that the Ten Commandments are found in the Hebrew Bible aka the Old Testimate. Christians who supposedly follow Christ are supposed to follow his commandments as reported by his disciples."Love one another as I have loved you." I think they missed that Sunday School lesson.

unclepatrick2.bsky.social•29 days ago

which of the three version of the Ten Commandments did they order displayed ?

Thank you Sen. Nathan Johnson.

Religion is the poison that divides us, has nothing to do with spirituality, and everything to do with control

lesliesusan25.bsky.social•30 days ago

Religion does not belong in Public School. As a young Jewish girl I remember having to recite the Lords Prayer every morning before the Pledge of Allegiance . It belongs at home and at your Church , Synogogue or Mosque.

You were my Senator until gerrymandering.😡 Now I'm stuck with a maga moron.
