I just wanted to point out that while it has the same label, it does not always contain the same content.
And my point is that what Louisiana is calling the Ten Commandments is never called that in their supposed holy Bible inspired by their god and that there is part of that Bible, specifically called ten commandments that they are not discussing.
No matter how many people are pissed of by that fact, it's still a fact. Those so-called ten commandments are not what the Bible calls the ten commandments. And if you want proof, I keep asking for chapter and verse and no one has provided it to me.
OK, now I get your point. Yes, those "ten commandments" would be funny to see in the classrooms. It might even teach some of the hardcore Christians and Bible thumpers something new...
Hardcore Christians and bible thumpers not actually knowing anything about their bible isn't new, it's very on-par for them
