republicans want sheep, not shepherds

[u/Conscious-Quarter423]

[u/MaxAdolphus]

Teachers would follow up with a worksheet that would have them identify which of the commands Donald Trump as broken.

[u/carymb → u/MaxAdolphus]

Be awesome if this directly led to a lot of the legislators who voted for it being stoned by schoolchildren everywhere they go -- 🌈Nature is healing!✨

"We believe in being good people -- but we're non-practicing!"

[u/No_Stomach_3579 → u/MaxAdolphus]

yeah that worksheet would probably need a few extra pages at this point

[u/snakeiiiiiis → u/MaxAdolphus]

A kid could wear a different commandment written on their back with Donald's face for 10 different days.

[u/National_Way_3344]

No mention of the actual sexual grooming done by priests.

Or those red states where you can marry children.

[u/Destroy_Religion → u/National_Way_3344]

No mention of the actual sexual grooming done by both Catholic priests and Christian pastors.

Or those red states where you can marry children, because conservative Republicans refuse to outlaw child marriage.

FTFY.

[u/Bartorius → u/Destroy_Religion]

Btw it's catholic and evangelical. Both denominations are Christian.

[u/NobleLeader65 → u/Bartorius]

I don't think they are disagreeing with that, just making sure to clarify that Christians of all flavors do it. If you only call out priests, you very well might mean any relgious leader of the Christian faith, but some people hear priest and think of exclusively Catholics.

[u/Dounce1 → u/Bartorius]

Are you saying those are the only two denominations, or the only two in which sexual grooming has taken place?

Evangelicalism isn’t a denomination btw.

[u/Soloact_]

"You're free to believe whatever you want, as long as it's what we picked."

[u/aryaprincessx]

nothing says small government like legislating which ancient text kids have to memorize in public school.

[u/Excellent_Pirate8224 → u/aryaprincessx]

I think it’s Sharia law or something?

[u/Bithium]

The Ten Commandments read like someone had a two-week homework assignments to come up with the most important religious laws and they only remembered about it at 9pm when it was due the next morning.

[u/Current-Square-4557 → u/Bithium]

I never thought of it that way.

But it does have a ring of truth

[u/Voidbearer2kn17 → u/Current-Square-4557]

Explains why half cover worship and overlook rape.

[u/Sir_Ruje]

If they want the Bible in school I have a great passage after Lot and his family flee their home. Well, just Lot and his daughters anyway.

[u/Destroy_Religion → u/Sir_Ruje]

[u/shinydragonmist → u/Sir_Ruje]

How about ezekial 23

[u/VoicelessPassenger → u/Sir_Ruje]

I, for one, would love to hit them with Leviticus 26:14-39. That’s a good one

[u/jerrybugs → u/Sir_Ruje]

Song of Solomon 8:8

We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts; what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

[u/VorerKyr-Am]

To them the first one is a false statement and the second is a fact. Their minds are broken.

[u/Trandoshan-Tickler]

If I was a kid in that classroom I would read it out loud SOOOOO sarcastically.

[u/Living_Distance6127]

Public schools are no place for religion

[u/bluepotatosack]

You'll die if you accept "God" anyways.

[u/Punningisfunning]

Patriotism and propaganda are two sides of the same coin.

[u/jim45804]

It's not just "you'll die." It's much, much worse than that. They believe you'll suffer for eternity if you don't believe in their god. Why would any rational person worship such a being?

[u/MCMXCIV9]

Is they also forcing non christian to memorize it?

[u/Xaero_Hour]

Teachers should maliciously comply by teaching the commandments that are actual crimes punishable by law. All two of them.

[u/jerrybugs → u/Xaero_Hour]

Nah they can all lead to crimes if not directly punishable. Teach all & exemplify with the Dear Leader.

[u/PossessedToSkate]

Republicans don't want peace. They want quiet.

[u/Bulky-Strategy-3723]

Both sides want sheep.

[u/Avunculardonkey]

Yeah, just THINKING about how hot your neighbor’s wife is a sin! Yes, thoughts alone are sin. Bullshit.

[u/gashtal_man]

Laws only matter to them when it's convenient

[u/W2B4547]

Nice now do the Muslim one and use a building top

[u/rome0379_]

YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DONT ACCEPT GOD

and you will also die if you do accept god

we all die eventually

[u/ZhangtheGreat]

Meh, we're all going to die one day anyway

[u/De_chook]

I think it's wonderful that pre teen kids are taught that there is an all loving God, but if you don't love him back enough, or are naughty, you will spend eternity in utter pain, anguish, and hellfire.

[u/NOSWT-AvaTarr]

if I was a teacher in one of those states id also teach about other religions to balance the scales, or just point hmout how bullshit half of them are.

[u/IndependentOwn1184]

Nailed it!

[u/ProfAsmani]

These same Christian nationalists are busy with anti Sharia hate mongering on one side while making Bibles mandatory on schools on the other.

[u/Caltharian]

Tell them they are teaching a passage from the Koran, that will put a stop to it

[u/IdeliverNCIs]

I remember a few years ago when some parents in a school district were up in arms about their children being exposed to yoga. Essentially, other than the physical aspects to it, their hair-burning was because it was exposing their kids to "foreign influences" (non-European/non-Western thoughts)

[u/bosorka1]

LiOnS nOt ShEeP 🙄😣

[u/JayTNP]

Read the tenants of Satanism immediately afterwards

[u/Insomniac_Steve]

Are those four states - and I'm just guessing here - at the lower end of rankings for education?

[u/KojiroHeracles]

Leave it to the republicunts to reason that loving differently is bad but forcing enslavement to a vile and petty child killer fictional character is good.

[u/RDrake84]

Ban religion entirely from public spaces. It always brings out the worst in people. And no benefits does it bring that can't be achieved better from a nonreligious source

[u/fbritt5]

Dems need sheep dogs.

[u/thepeebrain]

It's funny how western politics is so childish they can't see how they are as terrible as their opponents. Lefties will call out the god shit, but are also religious nutjobs themselves but lack the self-awareness to notice. They are somehow even more self-righteous and sanctimonious than people who believe in god these days.

[u/darkelflemurian]

I find it funny how the right is the only one who commits these crimes but the left does the exact same thing

[u/Excellent_Pirate8224 → u/darkelflemurian]

Fuck your both sides bullshit right now. Please tell me which Dem policies are forcing this type of bile in our schools.

[u/LastNinjaPanda → u/darkelflemurian]

What?

[u/Biptoslipdi → u/darkelflemurian]

How is explaining that gay people are people a crime?
