The Ten Commandments Required

I don’t see how it could help but improve however marginally.

[Jolly]

Sometimes we forget how plugged in we are.

80% of the country doesn't pay too much attention to this stuff.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

In case y'all haven't read them lately...

Even just take out the first four and focus on 5-10.

About IX, what if DJT is my neighbor? Are we okay then? I mean, he does have to be stopped…

Just imagine the SCOTUS redlining select portions of religious scripture out of a piece of legislation.

I believe it was the "Lincoln Project" who posted a video showing how Trump has broken each of the 10.

I'd quibble over the order but, meh.

Did Trump received formal education in a classroom with the Ten Commandments posted?

Good point. I don’t recollect the nun telling us that they were listed in descending order of importance.

I'm sure it would help every bit as much as putting health warnings on social media platforms.

6 seems pretty restrictive. I can't imagine ancient societies thinking capital punishment or killing in war was wrong.

That’s what cracks me up. I saw the video and it’s a bit of a stretch… but nonetheless, Trump exhibits SO many anti-Christian behaviors it’s remarkable how many church going folks put him on a pedestal. Lying, boastful, prideful, stealing, adultery, etc.

φονεύσεις

That would have been the word used in the Septuagint in Exodus 20:13. Which also is the shortest commandment.

KJV translated it as "kill". It's actually "murder".

[bachophile]

If it’s any help, the Hebrew is “murder”. “ Kill”would be a different verb as it is in English.

[Doctor Phibes]

Murder is something I've always tried to avoid taking part in. We actually didn't need a sign up at our school to point out that this was frowned upon, but I guess you chaps might need more of a reminder, what with everything.

Maybe there should be a lot more signs. 'Thou shalt not pee in they pants!', 'Thou shalt not fiddle about with thyself, even whilst ye attractive Miss Walsh is teaching thee ye olde trigonometree'

It couldn't hurt, right?

[Mik]

@Doctor-Phibes that was Ax-like in its missing of the point.

Yet the Louisiana law uses the word "kill" anyway.
