Yeah, I’d really like to hear more from @coachv and what that one sentence he wrote
really means and if he would put some context around it.
I won’t speak for him, but typically when something like this is said from a particular age demographic it is the initial consequences of “going to hell” training in children is a societal benefit and effective at keeping them in line/keeping control.
Though as we all know religion is typically a “rules and consequences” for the normies. But decidedly less so, across all organized religions for those in the religious authority club. Then it becomes quite the shield from consequences.

Three of the major religions believe in Moses and the 10 commandments. Muslims, christians and Jews recognize the 10 commandments. So it wouldn’t be offensive to those three religious groups. Buddists have the 10 precepts which are very similar to the 10 commandments.
I doubt the Hindus would be offended by the 10 commandments.
So the VAST majority of people would either embrace it, recognize it or be ambivalent to it. That leaves a very small number of people that would object.
It is best to leave this to the good people of Louisiana.
Americans won’t since we were founded on the separation of church and state. This is unconstitutional. That should not have to be explained.

This has nothing to do with numbers of people that accept the Ten Commandments, whichever
version you choose to hang, and everything to do with separation of church and state. What
do you think 1A clause means ?
no law respecting an establishment of religion
You have standards or you do not. Promoting religion in any form should not be done
in public school. You can do that in your Sunday schools, synagogues, or mosques as much
and however you like.

I don’t expect this to stop in Louisiana. Things kinds of things rarely do.
My biggest problem with this is it really does nothing besides feed into a culture war. It doesn’t help Christianity/Judaism, probably hurts it.

Separation of church and state was meant that the federal government won’t mandate an official religion.
A school district hanging the 10 commandments that are are recognized by at least three major religions is not mandating a religion.
The founding fathers did not envision the United States being officially agnostic.

This is not a school district hanging the 10 commandments. It’s the state requiring them to do it. That’s different.

It is not establishing a religion. No where close to that.

How is the state passing a law requiring religious text be put in display not violating the establishment clause?

14th amendment extends that to state governments.

It will go to the Supremes and the state mandate will be struck down but the ability of a local school district to hang the 10 commandments will be upheld. Thus allowing it statewide.
King James!
Then the districts will promptly be sued, because as agents of the state they are required to comply.

I’m a Jewish and an American. I’m offended by any law that states anything religious must be posted in public schools.

The districts will win and in doing so paint the left as an enemy of God and morality. There is always a second agenda.
Hanging the 10 commandments is a trap. The religious right knows it will win this.
This is such a minor matter.
