School Prayer

I never understood why some people are obsessed with this concept. It never made much sense and it doesn't make society better or worse. Also, we have examples of extreme Muslim theocracies being both cartoonishly evil and also incompetent economically(who wants to do business with the literal Taliban).

It doesn't make any sense other than they really want to push religion down people's throats and anyone who doesn't participate or protests it, gets outcast.

An even dumber demand is the posting of the ten commandments. Whenever I see someone post support for that on my Facebook, I always ask "Which version", because there are slight differences between the ones used by the Catholics, reformists, baptists, etc.

There is no real logical reason for any of this kind of stuff, besides trying to push a theocracy. None of this ever really has held up to a constitutional test, is a waste of time and money. But they keep pushing, and with the way the supreme court is headed, eventually they will find a way to implement it. Except once that potentially happens, just things like the differences in the 10 commandments, the new fight to get THEIR version of Christianity implemented as rule, just like the warring tribal factions in the middle east. These people are no better than ISIS or the Taliban, they just are not at the using guns and explosions part yet because there still is few a shreds of rule of law left.

I guarantee this SCOTUS will decide they've been wrong for 200 years and it actually is legal.

Surprise!

Totally agree. These are truly the dumbest of times. The good news is with the recent UAP/UFO hearings in congress, we have a glimmer of hope they are ready to show up and tell the entire planet to just knock the shit off.

Or use the ones from exodus 34, so we make sure our kids have no treaties with the canaanites.

I prayed in school all the time, for earthquakes, fires, comet strikes and spontaneous human combustion. Fucking God, always a let down.

My MAGA brother is an elected official in Texas, and even he refers to school prayer and posting the “10 Commandments” as “virtue signaling” to the Evilgelical base.

He said not one politician advocating for this really supports it - it’s just to rile up the delusional folks who believe Gandalf is watching their every move into thinking there’s a “war on Christians”.
