Hang equivalent documents in every religion you can think of. Also, hang the logic fallacy chart.

It’s not supposed to make everyone comfortable. It’s supposed to indoctrinate children to the insane ideals of this fascist govt.
The “Thou shall not lie” must be a tough one with the current administration.
It’s not supposed to. That’s the point. If you aren’t one of us (straight white republican christian male. WASP is outdated), you’re not one of us, and you’ll be reminded of that at every opportunity. From school to the public places to the workplace.
Need a new acronym. SCReWM? Straight Christian REpublican White Male?
Screw me?
There are also the 11 Satanic Rules of the Earth
I prefer TST’s Seven Tenets, but if someone is posting religious material in a classroom, I’d absolutely support the Satanic Rules being posted alongside them.
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 prefer TST’s Seven Tenets
Me, too. Still, if somebody disrespects me in my lair, they’re in big trouble.
Can you post other religious creed alongside?
Find one with the full text of the commandments. They’re a lot more interesting. My favorite is number 10.
You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
Those handy little posters only mention coveting wives and goods, but it’s important that they know God says slavery is totally fine, just don’t covet your neighbor’s slaves.
Knowledge that the Bible says slaves are OK will not be beneficial.
It’s a perfect stepping stone for a lesson on how the Bible is completely incompatible with modern morals.
‘Modern morals’ only exist on paper and are at best only selectively followed.
same is true of the bronze age morals.
David had a dude killed so he could bang the dude’s wife.
it should also be noted that that’s about coveting other people’s possessions. that’s what that list all has in common. wives are not an exception to that category, as far as the author was concerned. (and the people insisting these stupid things go up.)
There are two (or three) versions of the 10 Commandments in the Bible itself, before we even consider translation issues:
https://news.utexas.edu/2019/02/04/ten-commandments-in-texas-classrooms-but-what-version/
Anyway, the NIV translation uses “servant” instead of “slave”, which seems bogus to me.
Luckily that commandment is in exodus 20, and exodus 21 just happens to have the rules for selling your daughter as a “servant” for life, as well as the punishment for beating “servants” to death. You know, normal stuff.
And this is why it’s bullshit. 3 versions of a book some random person wrote to gather followers. Biggest cult in the world.
There’s a whole list of things that should get you killed according to those nice books.
Just slap a page from the Koran up next to it.
Put it in something almost no one speaks or wrotes, like Toki Pona, or as another commentator said that I think is good, put Texas Republican state politicians/ Trump next to each commandment they broke
The mah-freedom-folks forcing people to do something (and making everyone less free) again.
Easy, gather the tenants off all the other faiths and put them up.

All of them
Or put it behind a shelf… they never said it had to be visible only posted
Do both. Post other faiths and put only the 10 commandments mostly behind a shelf.
That’s actually a great idea. Have the children make them as a school assignment. Judaism is basically the same. That would be a fantastic start to accepting other people.
In our (religious!) school, our class did this. It started more as a prank, but we were oddly proud of the result ^^
“The Ten Commandments” are actually Jewish. Christians who read would know that Christianity is supposed to be based on two commandments, which according to their god are more important than the ten commandments.
This is actually somewhat untrue.
Jesus wasn’t negating the Ten Commandments, he was simplifying them.
But then, also, it’s important to know that he so insisted that everything in the Law of Moses and the Prophets are still in effect and would be until everything is “accomplished”
He was, for example, perfectly okay with people turning foreigners into slaves.
Ew, but those are about love. Not here is the u s of a buddy.
Christianity was a Jewish sect until at least 70 ad, so it actually is Jewish until they separated themselves out as being different.
What 2 commandments are you talking about? I actually don’t read the bible either since I’m not religious. I’m fascinated by the history of it though. Are you talking about the Golden Rule? What other one then.
I’ve read a little bit of the Jewish scriptures to see what was taken out of the old testament and rearranged, that was kind of hilarious. The Book of Ruth is sexy time. The same guy who made it so priests couldn’t marry probably got rid of that book too, but I can’t remember when it was pulled. Probably at the council of Nicene.
The two commandments he is talking about are found here: Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
These are what Jesus is quoted as saying in the New Testament of the Bible.
Thanks for explaining that. We were taught in my catholic school the second one as the Golden Rule and the only commandment to follow because it encompasses all of them. The “Love the Lord…” one was barely brought up, if at all. Even catholics have many different versions of being taught. My west coast friends had a totally different experience.
Ruth is still in though, it’s right after Judges.
Holy shit, you’re right. I must have read the source wrong or I didn’t understand. Are the sexy songs still included as sexy songs?
If you’re talking about Song of Songs, yes, still there. I don’t think it ever appears in sermons though, it’s not very quotable in a public setting.
THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS
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.

*tenets
That’s an even better idea because then they won’t be able to understand the dialog.
No, @Tac0caT@lemmy.world clearly meant a person renting from a landlord smh
Or 10/14, the best Doctor.
Had shoulder surgery Friday, between using my off hand for texting, pain meds and just waking up and seeing this post, it’s no wonder I got the wrong word :p
Hope you heal well and quickly!
Good movie
the tenants off all the other faiths
That’s a LOT of people, none of which the founding fathers wanted to be allowed to vote.
I mean because they’re not land owners but sure, the other reason too!
Yup cover the walls. Be inclusive rather than Christian inclusive, put up satanism, atheism, agnosticism ideals, make sure to include indigenous peoples. People will get posed and say it needs to come down but can’t justify taking one down without taking others. And sure let’s do religion month and talk about each of the tenets.
It might be different for some people, for example as an atheist I try to follow one rule only:
Don’t be an arsehole.
Other people might have different prime principles.
BTW, with my rule I’m not always successful.
There is more than one list of 10 commandments in the Bible. Post them side by side and hilight the differences.
As a former catholic i always love seeing these types of christians that want to life by the bible but pick and choose. And even if not they never life by the one golden rule “LOVE THY NEIGHBORE AS THOU SELF” or any other doctrin of christianity
Even in Europe we give these scammers and pedo’s tons of money from the state.
I knowww
Start a discussion on how society would be different if people actually followed those commandments?
Start pointing out some examples of breaking those commandments using current news articles (which will inevitably include high profile politicians including those who made this stupid rule in the first place)
Just one or two days before, I’ve read about an old Cherokee Chief. Somebody read some parts of the bible to him, and he remarked that this was actually a good book, and wondered why the white men were so bad, despite knowing this book for so long. Figures.

Weren’t they enjoined from this already?
Looks like it only applies to a handful of districts.
Louisiana did the same shit last year and got shut down.
Oklahoma tried earlier this year, but I think the bill died.
The fuckers will just try again every single year. Showboating, wasting state funds on stupid battles that they know they will lose. Although now they’re emboldened, because our current SCOTUS doesn’t give a shit about the constitution.
