the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.
What does this mean? Is this Shroedinger’s law? Is the law in effect?
“If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses”
Bollocks, more like.
The earliest known laws are from The Code of Ur-Nammu from Mesopotamia written on tablets around 2100–2050 BCE. If Moses existed, he was probably chiselling away at his tables six or seven hundred years later.
So I demand that these laws replace the 10 Commandments in schools. Who could forget such classics as:
- If a prospective son-in-law enters the house of his prospective father-in-law, but his father-in-law later gives his daughter to another man, the father-in-law shall return to the rejected son-in-law twofold the amount of bridal presents he had brought.
- If a man's slave-woman, comparing herself to her mistress, speaks insolently to her, her mouth shall be scoured with 1 quart of salt.
- If a man, in the course of a scuffle, smashed the limb of another man with a club, he shall pay one mina of silver.
- If a man stealthily cultivates the field of another man and he raises a complaint, this is however to be rejected, and this man will lose his expenses.
They don't care about ACTUAL history. They're trying to defend themselves by shifting any criticism onto "the original lawgiver," and knowing full well that most Americans get their history from church (and bad TV in a close second), they invoke God as a shield to do whatever awful injustices make them erect that week
How much is a Mina in pounds?
In today's money? About 17p, or 21 US cents. Shocking, really. I've got a club because at that price, why wouldn't you?
large, easily readable font
Ah, but readable by whom? I have a bar code font here. If you can't read it you're clearly not nerd enough.
Also, putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms will only turn the kids into sarcastic, blasphemous little fellows. ...I mean, more so than they already are.
Sure sure, easily readable by what definition? Under a microscope? From a distance? Only if you cross your eyes? All very easy to do.
large, easily readable font
Can it use large font characters from non-english languages?
Sounds like something The Satanic Temple may have an issue with.
I can't read it atm. Is there a size requirement?
Language requirement?
Does it HAVE to be readable?
Cause woo are my malicious compliance human mandibles quivering.
Language requirement?
👆
If not - put them up in Esperanto :*)
historically they're in hebrew, not english and the hebrew version is inarguably both more historical and more accurate
to me, that clearly sounds like the best way to do it. ^^
" a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. "
Put the poster up backwards?
Can't wait to see the ~~eight~~ seven tenets of the Satanic Temple right up there next to them
Please donate to The Satanic Temple if you care about this topic and are able.

the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.

What a shithole state.
Incoming Satanic Temple poster right beside it!
I'm so sick and tired Of these Christophascist Trying to force their pedophile religion on me and my kids.
They'll probably publish the abridged version, sadly. The full version reads, as we well know:
Thou shall not commit adultery but, if thou doest, thou shalt pay off the other woman so that it harmeth not thy chances in the presidential election. Nor shall it turn thy supporters against thee when they heareth of it.
