Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.

  • You shall have no other gods before me: Trump
  • You shall not make idols: Trump literally made a goat with his face on it
  • You shall not murder: Palestinians
  • You shall not commit adultery: Hegseth amongst others
  • You shall not steal: the land from the Palestinians
  • You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor: MAGA creating lies like “they’re eating the cats and dogs” to justify their racism

    • you shall not commit adultery

    And you give hegseth as an example? Why not use "pornstar fucker while your wife is pregnant and then pay her off with a lot of money to keep quiet during elections" trump?

    Palestinians descended from the Bronze Age inhabitants of the Levant. Israelites later emerged from the Canaanite people (who are also strongly genetically tied to Palestinians) a thousand years later.

    The point of the religion satanic temple is to protest forced religion. It's positive from top to bottom.

    Y'know what, TIL. I'd always thought they were more of a political entity that operated under an antagonistic (to some) name. Come to find out, though, through the magic of THE INTERNET, that they are a non-theistic new religious movement.

    Alternatively the people who support this should have to explain to kindergarteners what adultery is.

    I was raised in the Assemblies of God, and I'm fairly sure that I knew an age-appropriate definition of adultery by kindergarten. Something along the lines of "breaking your marriage vows by being in a romantic relationship with another person."

    I definitely knew the actual definition of abortion by kindergarten because my church had fucked-up priorities.

    I showed my kids the Ten Commandments vs. The 7 fundy tenets.

    They agree. 7 tenets > Ten Commandments.

    I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

    V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

    VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

    I swear I've never seen a governor who blows more of his people's money then Greg Abbott. Just constantly lighting piles of cash on fire.

    As a Texan I beg to differ, it’s a very efficient transfer of wealth showing the best of ingenuity

    I don’t like to kink shame, but it’s obviously very important for the authoritarian right to repeatedly state the rules that they will be breaking in private.

    Abbott also signed a bill that allows school districts to provide students and staff a daily voluntary period of prayer or time to read a religious text during school hours.

    Seems to contradict

    The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that everyone in the United States has the right to practice his or her own religion, or no religion at all.
