Bill requiring posting, teaching of Ten Commandments fails in South Dakota House
A bill that would have required public schools to display and teach the Ten Commandments failed in the state House.
Rep. Tim Goodwin, R-Rapid City, said he supported the bill even though the religious leaders and public school superintendents he talked to were against it.
even god didn't want that bill passed, moron.
First good news I've heard in months.
Things like this fail all the time, it just always get 10x less press than something like this being proposed. There is always a fight even if it's not televised
They want you to believe they already have much more control than they do so you'll comply in advance to things they actually wouldn't have been able to force you to do. They want you to think they are unstoppable, but they get stopped all the time. They get slowed down even more often which matters a lot more than you think
By courts, which they are largely still complying with at the moment. By various workers within government standing up. By local and state governments who are fighting back and passing laws to make their actions more difficult, etc.
Good. Off the top of my head "honor thy father and mother", and " honor the Sabbath and keep it holy" are both meaningless when you have parents traumatizing their children so much they can barely function in the real world, those parents shouldn't be honored, they should be shot... Or at least forced into some sort of mental health facility/hospital, and Saturday is the 7th day, ya know the day god rested, not Sunday, so... That's just been co opted entirely when Christianity and the pagan religions mixed back under emperor Constantinople, not Istanbul in this instance Emperor Constantinoples name remained unchanged.
You might enjoy Fabrizio De André's song, "il Testamento di Tito", or Modena City Ramblers' excellent cover
Surprisingly good Google Translate:
Constantine build Constantinople. Otherwise, no notes.
Good
Not in public schools. Keep your filthy smut away from children.
Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion.
It would help your culture, which is currently allying with white supremacists to overthrow the U.S. government. I don't think we need any more of your hateful culture in the U.S.
Oh, good idea, which part? /s The part about the brutal indoctrination of the indiginous peoples in the new world, the part with the papacy in Rome was a bought position and caused war and strife in Europe for centuries, the crusades [checks notes] plural... "gosh yall did a lot of them", or the more recent pedo stuff.
Which part of history of organizations and groups that use the bible as a core text should more people learn about?
