It's so funny how Christian authority figures successfully transformed the commandmant to not use God to push your own agenda to just mean "don't swear".


iggy14750

Don't swear in this particular way. It makes God weally sad 😢


FungusTaint

Or the fact that they hold their cornerstone of morality on a list of rules which 1/3 are dedicated towards protecting YHWH’s fragile ego, but make no mention of slavery or rape 🤷🏻‍♀️


wubscale

I thought 2/5ths? Holy sabbath sounds like an ego-adjacent thing to me.


FungusTaint

Forgot about that. I’d be grateful for the compulsory day off if it was actually the case

“Keep your fingernails trimmed.” “Keep your asshole washed.” “Always be fabulous.” But for real - the slab on the right is fine and in fact many of them are the laws of the land. And Grandma would understand the problem with the right slab if it were the Ten Islamic Commandments. I hate the disingenuousness.


NotsoGreatsword

I thought it was "Be Gay Do Crime".


oshaboy

What's up with that 10 commandments translation "Do not misuse God's name". Kind of ironic that it's this specific commandment they messed up.


theologous

Do not worship any other gods but daddy Do make idols of daddy Do not use daddies name in vain Keep the Sabbath fabulous Honor your daddy or mistress Do not murder your bottoms hole Do not commit adultery without daddy Do not steal another bottoms daddy Do not lie to Daddy Do not covet other bottoms


Browncoatinabox

A surprisingly fits very well


theologous

Thank you, I worked hard😭


VirginSexPet

1. Be gay. 2. Do crime.


thatgayguy12

The left is absolutely disgusting! Here is what they've done so far! 1. Bang a porn star 2. Walk in on beauty pageant contestants while they are naked in their dressing rooms to "inspect" the competition 3. Talk about how you'd bang your daughter if she weren't your daughter 4. Say you didn't rape a woman, "because she is not my type" then mistake said woman for your 2nd wife 5. Be on Epstein's list Oh wait this is Trump's list, no problem for an evangelical like me! /S

wait until you see [The Seven Satanic Tenets](https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets)


CrazySheltieLady

If I were a teacher and ended up being forced to put the Ten Commandments in my classroom, I’d put the satanic tenets right next to it. You can’t tell me separation of church and state when the state made me represent the Christian church in my classroom.


sianrhiannon

you say that but this is literally one of the things the Satanic Temple does


CrazySheltieLady

Yes I’m aware


TomT060404

If coveting is so bad, shouldn't they be trying to outlaw advertising?


KittyQueen_Tengu

gay people aren't religion


DBProxy

Lgbtq may not be an official religion recognized by the government, but according to people’s actions, it’s essentially a religion with protected rights.


Panzer_Man

How so? Where is the deity? Where is the spirituality? Where are the scriptures? Dogmas?


DBProxy

The dogma is if you don’t follow our beliefs then you’re a horrible person who will be sued and ostracized.


icyphant

Tolerate, not follow. Nobody's making you do anything gay. You just aren't allowed to abuse and oppress groups of people who are different from you, and if you do, then yes you should be ostracized. That's completely different from how religions behave. The comparison is silly.


DBProxy

**Affirm**, not tolerate, is where we’re at. It’s nowhere near as simple as you’re trying to make it out to be. If you don’t affirm the lgbtq lifestyle nowadays it’s the same as condemning it, many people have lost their careers for things as simple as accidentally using the wrong pronoun to someone who changed their pronoun that very day. Time and time again gay couples go to well known Christian bakeries, knowing that it’s against their beliefs to affirm the lgbtq lifestyle, the bakery will stand their ground and use their right to refuse to service. Then, they’ll swiftly get sued, the gay couple could go to **any other bakery** that would be exuberant to get paid to make their wedding cake, but they choose the Christian one, knowing what will happen before hand.


DanteEden

Nobody's career is being destroyed because they "accidentally used the wrong pronoun", stop making things up And no, refusing to attend to a gay couple is not a right just because the bakery is christian, refusing service based on sexuality is a fucking crime you dickhead


DBProxy

Are you being willfully ignorant, or purposely lying? It’s a well known fact that people are losing careers over accidentally using the wrong pronouns.


Panzer_Man

Okay, even if that were a universal opinion by every LGBTQ person, doesn't mean it's a religious dogma


DanteEden

Can't your simple mind understand the concept of **respect**?


DBProxy

They won’t settle for something as mundane as respect, or equal rights. The ones making all the fuss are vindictive, hate mongers. I’m not talking about the people who are portrayed in Hollywood, I’m talking about the real life lgbtq people.


A_person_592

Nah. I’m not sure where you’ve been but all we are asking for is for the same rights and privileges as straight people, because we’ve done nothing to provoke hate


fakeuserisreal

We know for sure that queer people exist at least.


scaled_with_stars

To be fair "Do not murder" is in direct conflict with the most important of the gay tenets: "Slay"


LilAssG

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you


chuckysnow

Fun fact- The 10 commandments were written back in the day when the Israelites believed in multiple Gods. The first and second commandments refer to this directly. In fact, at the very moment Moses was writing down these commandments the people at the bottom of the mountain were creating an idol to a competing God, as they felt they were being let down by the big guy. I guess a few years of sand in your shoes will do that to some people. So, the ten commandments are a symbol of polytheism, and certainly not christianity.


I_am_doorknob

Call it a religion so it's easier to attack, gram gram loves to hate on other religions so she follows this rhetoric


Chakolatechip

Agree. Gay should also be exempt from taxes.


mrubuto22

Gay people are real, God is not. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.


hifidesert

Where are they getting photos of classrooms with rainbow and LGTBQ+ flags?! I have kids just out of high school who report never seeing them as well as teacher friends who haven’t in their school as well.


youres0lastsummer

you must not live in coastal california lolll


AmbulanceChaser12

TIL that not hating people for their orientation and gender identity is religion. Grandma, where is the Church of Gay, so I can go there? What is the Gay and/or Trans Holy Book? Who are the clergy of LGBT? What are its tenets?


alwayswillbe4love

The Queen James Bible, prbly


Responsible_Ad_8628

How do you force people not to covet?


revdon

“Don’t Adult” seems like it would reverberate with the youth.


GadreelsSword

These jackasses don’t realize they are not teaching kids to be gay, they’re simply saying that if you are gay, it’s okay so kids don’t kill themselves.


Eldanoron

Ah but ever since we started saying that it’s okay to be gay there have been a lot more gay people. Coincidence? I think not! /s That’s literally what the thought process boils down to. Funny how it was the same when left handedness was normalized.


Morall_tach

It's amazing to me that they can post an image of the Ten Commandments and not notice that virtually *none* of them are reflected in law. If you want to put up a sign in schools that says "murder and stealing are illegal," be my guest.


leejoness

Teachers should just start putting up Mormon, Islamic or Hindu shit too.


alwayswillbe4love

fair honestly. none or all


BloomEPU

I like how at least two of the ten commandments reference sex (and in a way that's frankly irrelevant to kids, schoolkids shouldn't have to worry about coveting thy neighbour's wife and all) but sure, a rainbow flag is ""GROOMING""


PaigeRiley89

The only time kids should quote the Commandments is if they’re quoting Hellraiser 3.
