    Illegal and there is precedent for it. Roy Moore once tried to have the ten commandments displayed on courthouse property.

    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

    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

    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.
