The Satanic Temple should have their tenets displayed then.
Alternatively the people who support this should have to explain to kindergarteners what adultery is.
I was raised in the Assemblies of God, and I'm fairly sure that I knew an age-appropriate definition of adultery by kindergarten. Something along the lines of "breaking your marriage vows by being in a romantic relationship with another person."
I definitely knew the actual definition of abortion by kindergarten because my church had fucked-up priorities.
Nazis keep your trash out of public spaces.
They're gonna be mad when a district judge tells them its unconstitutional.
Nah, that's exactly what they want, so they can then appeal to the ultra conservative Supreme Court
I showed my kids the Ten Commandments vs. The 7 fundy tenets.
They agree. 7 tenets > Ten Commandments.
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.

Illegal and there is precedent for it. Roy Moore once tried to have the ten commandments displayed on courthouse property.
Just cover it with a pride flag.
The "10 things I hate about you" list from the Torah?
Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.
And you give hegseth as an example? Why not use "pornstar fucker while your wife is pregnant and then pay her off with a lot of money to keep quiet during elections" trump?
Fun fact,
Adultery meant " to break a covenant bond'.
Doesn't just apply to marriage. No preacher will tell you that though. They don't wanna explain their actions
I didn't know about that goat, but I do remember this monstrosity from cpac.
Thou shall not kill. Umm, y'all have the death penalty.
Palestinians descended from the Bronze Age inhabitants of the Levant. Israelites later emerged from the Canaanite people (who are also strongly genetically tied to Palestinians) a thousand years later.
Guess you need to give up your house to some random people, since your ancestors weren't born here two thousand years ago.
You know, since that's what establishes who belongs where. Now GTFO.
You can tell it's a good faith argument because of the way that it is.
