So is the theory that by displaying a poster of the ten commandments children will suddenly behave themselves, teenagers will stop doing drugs and having sex, criminals will stop committing crimes, etc?
Because there's a poster in classrooms?
Seems like this idea has some big problems outside of the religious freedom issue. It's absurd.
@dangrsmind never forget that a lot of the people pushing for posters in the classroom are flat out being trolls.
The theory is that people are going to get upset by it.
So don't get upset. Don't play their game. That's what they want, and it encourages them, and they'll do more stuff like it the more response they get.
Just roll your eyes, file the appropriate lawsuits, stop voting for idiots to the representative bodies, and don't give them what they want.
@volkris in fact Trump himself posted on Truth Social that simply displaying the ten commandments poster would lead to significant social change e.g. more people attending church.
Evangelical Christians really believe this, it's not just trolling for them.
@dangrsmind Well I'm happy to clarify that I wasn't talking about everybody. Yeah, some people really do believe it
However, Trump himself is probably the biggest troll we have in society today. That he would post it is something I would point to as an example of these people trolling.
Again, to be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying that Trump is a troll. I don't think he believes anything that he says, I think his entire career has been built on trolling society.
@volkris sure but also some people I have seen seem to really believe that simply displaying the ten commandments will somehow bring about these sorts of social changes.
They are not trolling. They really believe it. And it is nonsense.
