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

I believe it was the "Lincoln Project" who posted a video showing how Trump has broken each of the 10.
Did Trump received formal education in a classroom with the Ten Commandments posted?

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

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".

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

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?

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

That the Louisiana legislature deliberately mean "kill" rather than "murder" in the law.

Well, these guys are focusing on the apparent mis-translation of the original text by renowned witch-obsessed Scottish homosexual King James I, so I figured any old bollocks was open to discussion.

Won't fly, the Louisiana law explicitly specifies the text that must be displayed.

After being educated by Advisory Opinions….
The case isn’t as much of a slam dunk as I thought because the praying football coach case did strike down the old ‘Lemon test’ (named for a court case) that had invalidated similar laws in the past.
Both Sarah and David think Louisiana loses in the end though. And if they win a similar law replacing the Ten Commandments with the five pillars of Islam would also be allowed.
Go to about 41:30 in the most recent AO if you’re interested in details.
