You don't need a DeLorean to go back in time, you just need a bus ticket to Louisiana.
When it's 10 o'clock in New York, it's 1970 in Louisiana.
- Possibly even 870 CE.

No shit that’s what it’s signalling. That’s what it’s doing. Pretty brazenly and openly.
I think it's a clue of some kind!
~~let us~~ you better pray
Oldest known laws (about 900 years before 10 commandments):
Code of Ur-Nammu:
• Date: Circa 2100–2050 BCE.
• Location: Ancient Mesopotamia (Sumer).
• Content: The code consists of around 57 laws, covering various aspects of daily life, including property rights, personal injury, and marriage. It is written in Sumerian, the language of ancient Sumer.
• Significance: It is notable for establishing the principle of lex talionis, or “law of retribution,” although it often imposed fines rather than physical punishment
Theism is just a shit ideology.
It’s one thing to have your beliefs, but if your beliefs are so fragile that the believer can’t handle anyone else not believing their stuff, it’s kind of a sign they don’t really believe the stuff they are forcing.

That's perfect, thank you.
I hope these kids write bad words in permanent marker on all the 10 commandments.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Taken together, the measures have signaled the ambition of the governor and the Republican-led Legislature to be at the forefront of a growing national movement to create and interpret laws according to a particular conservative Christian worldview.
When Mr. Landry, who previously served two terms as the state attorney general, won the governorship last fall, it was widely expected that Louisiana would veer to the right.
As attorney general, Mr. Landry had positioned himself as a fierce champion of conservative causes, defending the state’s ban on abortions and challenging Mr. Edwards’s authority to order businesses, schools and churches to close during the coronavirus pandemic.
Heather L. Weaver, a senior staff attorney with the Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief at the American Civil Liberties Union, said she would not be surprised if next year’s state legislative sessions took up a “huge influx” of bills rooted in conservative Christian ideas.
In Arizona, during the fight over an abortion ban from 1864, the speaker of the House, Ben Toma, told The New York Times in April that “all of our laws are actually based on, what, the Ten Commandments and the Book of Genesis, which are thousands of years ago.”
“This is all born of the leftist culture war tearing down the fabric of the country, and we are saying, ‘Enough,’” said Jason Rapert, founder of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers and a former state senator in Arkansas.
