    They love Revelations, but the Gospels are dumped in the trashheap followed by multiple viewings of Passion of the Christ.

    Yeah, if you like blood, special effects, and simple plot lines... the New Testament is not going to be your bag. :D

    Religious leader wants to display Indian scriptures in Louisiana public classrooms



    BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A spokesperson of the Hindu community is seeking to have ancient Sanskrit scriptures displayed in public classrooms alongside the Ten Commandments.

    On Wednesday, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a law that requires each public classroom, starting from kindergarten to state-funded universities, in Louisiana to display the Ten Commandments.

    The President of the Universal Society of Hinduism Rajan Zed said in a statement that the Bhagavad Gita, or the Gita, was a historically significant document and he believes is a treasure that should be displayed in public school classrooms.

    The Gita is recognized as a poem in India and used as spiritual guidance, according to Britannica.

    Zed states the Hindu community would cover the cost of the “11×14” posters and no funding from the state or school would be required.

    The Hindu statesman noted that multiple prominent Americans were influenced by the Gita including philosopher Henry David Thoreau, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, philosopher Aldous Huxley and physicist Albert Einstein.


    Zed believes that increasing the awareness of other religions would make classrooms in Louisiana “well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow.”

    Wait until the Satanic temple gets their crack at it, here are their tenets which aren’t really that bad…


    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.

    I live inbetween BR and NO.

    as all the end of year school festivities took place. There were always a lot of religious themes, prayers, and so on and so forth that I don’t think you would see in most states.

    My wife and I don’t really care because we generally think there are good messages in this sort of stuff, but we are not really religious at all.

    The saddest thing is that this distracts from the fact that the school systems are essentially in shambles.

    Texas cannot require public schools in Houston, Austin and other select districts to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom, a judge said Wednesday in a temporary ruling against the state’s new requirement.

    Texas is the third state to have a Ten Commandments law blocked by a court.

    A group of families from the districts sought a preliminary injunction against the law, which goes into effect on Sept. 1. They say the requirement violates the First Amendment’s protections for the separation of church and state and the right to free religious exercise.

    republicans wanting the 10 commandments displayed in every classroom is the biggest joke of the century when these are the most wicked and immoral people in this country…they don’t follow the teachings of Christ at all, yet want to impose religion on everyone…gimme a fcking break

    What would be the Equivalent of the 10 commandments in other religions


    FOR INSTANCE - These seem decent enough

    Islam:
    • The Quran contains verses that mirror the Ten Commandments, particularly in the chapters on "Cattle" (Surat Al-An'am) and "The Children of Israel" (Surat Al-Isra').
    • These passages emphasize worshipping God alone, avoiding idolatry, honoring parents, and prohibiting murder, adultery, theft, lying, and covetousness.
    Buddhism:
    • The Five Precepts are a foundational part of Buddhist ethics, comparable to the Ten Commandments in Abrahamic religions.
    • These precepts are:
      1. Abstaining from killing.
      2. Abstaining from stealing.
      3. Abstaining from sexual misconduct.
      4. Abstaining from lying.
      5. Abstaining from intoxicants.
    Hinduism:
    • The Yamas and Niyamas from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are often cited as the "Ten Commandments" of Hinduism.
    • The five Yamas (restraints) are: non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness, non-stealing, continence, and non-greed.
    • The five Niyamas (observances) are: purity, contentment, austerity, study, and devotion to God.

    Church of Satan says ...
    The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
    by Anton Szandor LaVey


    © 1967

    1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
    2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
    3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
    4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
    5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
    6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
    7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
    8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
    9. Do not harm little children.
    10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
    11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
