Do the adults pushing this even know and understand the Bible stories? Nothing they do ever suggests it.

For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

You can pick and choose any side you want. That's an insane book. It's like using Led Zeppelin lyrics and life choices as a guide.
They had a communication breakdown
Just like their precious founding fathers intended in the first amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
oh.
"Ah but you see the constitution didn't say anything about state boards promoting one religion over others"- those fuckers
First rule of fascism - rules, laws, traditions and norms exist for 2 reasons:
-
Protect the in-group (the fascists)
-
Subjugate the out group (literally everyone else)
It's like playing poker with a toddler - the rules are irrelevant - it's just "I win"
Except it seems to violate section 6 "Freedom of Worship" of the Texas Constitution.
All men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences. No man shall be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent. No human authority ought, in any case whatever, to control or interfere with the rights of conscience in matters of religion, and no preference shall ever be given by law to any religious society or mode of worship. But it shall be the duty of the Legislature to pass such laws as may be necessary to protect equally every religious denomination in the peaceable enjoyment of its own mode of public worship. (Feb. 15, 1876.)
Absolutely insane
So it begins!
This is what happens when you only read part of the 1st Amendment.
Seems to be their thing. They completely ignore the "well regulated" part of the 2nd Amendment as well.
Well in the context of the time "well regulated" meant something completely different. You have to be careful not to make the same mistake.
1A has a lot of big words, i doubt they even got that far.
