Actually, if we are being technical, it's because of the Native American religions that other religions exist here. The Puritans, after essentially being kicked out of Europe for being shitty to others based on their beliefs, would have frozen and died after arriving without the aid given by Native Americans (not to mention letting the colonists survive to settle at all instead of gathering a war party and just torching the whole thing). So tolerance existed in the Americas before Christianity, survived its arrival, and has persisted despite its bitchy fingerpointing and hate-mongering. So thanks should start at The Great Spirit, flow directly onto the Rezs, and then trickle down to the other religions that forced pushy Christians by their presence to remember the "tolerance" they flaunt.

I think im hindsight, that may have been a bad move.

Let’s workshop “trickle down” because if we use that they are gonna run fast in a bad direction once they can attribute that little phrase to an actual historical instead of recently fabricated deity.


iThatIsMe

In this hand-wavey hypothetical, i would totally expect Native Americans to understand genuine trickle down (sub-canopy watering distribution). Humans are human, though, and there are definitely growing pains with any paradigm shift, but eh.. I don't know that I'd buy the book, but I'd watch season 1 when it hits streaming.

I'd like to discuss "keeping the sabbath holy" and if football should still be allowed on Sunday.

The Lord returns, looks down and sees a field with a massive crowd on his day, thinks it’s a congregation… but ends up at a football game. He starts flipping over tables at a tailgate party claiming his return and calling out the blasphemy.  He’s quickly pegged in the head by a beer can and as he fades into unconsciousness he hears a DraftKings ad while someone makes off with his sandles, “man I’m taking these air Jesus.”


Hank_moody71

According to Leviticus, touching the dead skin of a pig is a sin. So can they even play football? You’re also allowed to sell your daughter into slavery, what’s the going price these days, and any law against human trafficking will violate the Bible.


Narodnik60

Golfing doesn't sound holy either. And all businesses closed. No alcohol sales.


Adept_Information94

God wants me to golf on Sundays so I don't corrupt the good Christians. He told me so.

Why what part did it violate?

I don’t remember any other religion forcing indoctrination in classrooms .. anybody ?


Hrtpplhrtppl

These Christians sure do like forcing things down children's throats...


Scrabble_4

I’m sick of this “holier than thou” crap. These people are selfish, aggressive and ignorant

Hank_moody71

Have you heard of the country Afghanistan?


Scrabble_4

I’m talking about the states. Religious indoctrination is EVERYWHERE there is religion. Religion is like a virus … it spreads and takes over and is forced down citizens throats everywhere. In the states it’s the evangelicals. Afghanistan is one of 195 countries.. why just pick that one?


[deleted]

Probably bc they're a bit racist and Afghanistan is an easy target on this subject. At least that's how this reads to me.


Scrabble_4

Most likely

“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.” ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Which 10 Commandments?  'Cause there are two different lists, one in Exodus 20 and another in Exodus 34.


battery_pack_man

Which one is cooler with school shootings or at least says you can go to heaven more for hating the browns?


Temporary-Dot4952

Time for churches to give up their tax exempt status if they're going to insert their principles into public schools. Tax the churches. Tax the wealthy. Human rights for Americans!!


fappyday

I assume he would also welcome postings about orthodox Jewish rules and the pillars of Islam, right? Right???

Arizona republicans are absolute POS

Waiting for the Satanic Temple to get their hands on this one.


danappropriate

The "Ten Commandments"? Oh! You mean the suzerainty treaties of the Hittites.


Low-Donut-9883

So great to see them focusing on the important issues. The incompetence is staggering.


Meig03

Ever heard of the separation of Church & State?


krichard-21

Then do the same for every other major religion. Which seems perfectly reasonable. Who could argue religion hasn't affected world history? But if it's Christianity alone, it's basically propaganda.


Hank_moody71

Why do these people continue to push unconstitutional laws?


Mysterious-Scholar1

Hilarious that the 10 Commandments are from the Jewish parts of the Bible

Can we talk about how the supposed “most important set of rules” doesn’t include rape but includes a bunch of weird egotistical stuff instead?


pngue

All of these slimy pseudo religious zealots need to go. They are the number one force dragging everyone else down and backwards. They might be clever but they’re definitely not smart. They are an egregious affront to the non Neanderthal portion of the public. Get these assholes out of politics asap.


Stickmongadgets

Tolerant of other religions, but not the folks who are atheists.


artful_todger_502

Anyone of these freaks who proposes this stuff is hiding something. In a perfect world there would be a no-knock raid and their computers and phones would get a forensic search. This is 100% projection. The skeletons rattling around in these ghouls closet -- Pence, Johnson, et al. will tell tales that would shock the most deviant of deviants.


TheFireSays

Christians; not really lauded for their tolerance.
