What Do You Do If You Have the Ten Commandments Posted in Your School?

The TRUTH Staff

Recently the First Amendment has been violated. Elected officials, persuaded by child crime, violence, and unmoral like pastimes, have decided that it is legal to post the Ten Commandments in public schools and public buildings (post offices, libraries, ect.). Everyone knows a few of the Ten Commandments but not a lot know the penalties of the Ten Commandments.
Now here is what to do if anyone breaks the old law: if anyone in your school posts the Ten Commandments you tell them to take it down. I’m guessing that they won’t, so now you tell them that it is against the First Amendment (separation of church and state being the main one for out purpose). They still might not take it down, so what you do is ask them what the punishment for breaking any of these commandments. Before they can answer you tell them what the punishment would have been when these commandments were created.

#1 Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.

The Ten Commandments were written in the Old Testament, this is what the Jews only follow. The Jews and the Christians have different beliefs, and I’m guessing that the school you go to has mostly Christians. The Jewish God is also called Yahweh, Jesus being who the Christians worship. So that means the Christians have another God before Jesus, only the Jews would not break the commandment; punishment to the Christians and Muslims and other religious groups: DEATH (Deut. 16:6-10)

#2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven, on earth or in water: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, not serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

This means that all art, sculptures, and pictures of any sort need to be destroyed. Since the commandments were supposedly made in Heaven this means the replicas would break their own commandment!

#7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

This is a really bad thing to teach kids, Jesus states in Mark 10:11-12 that anyone who divorces and remarries, or marries a divorced person is committing adultery. This is a very unmoral thing to teach kids, since the penalty is death. It means that you can’t marry, or divorce and marry again or else you’ll be killed.
The next commandment that I want to go over is:

Thou shalt not covenant a neighbors goods, wife, ox, or ass.

Penalty: Death. So if a student needs a pencil and he takes one from another student who is doing something else important so he doesn't ask you need to stone him to death. Wow! You really need to pound into students that stealing is bad!
If these are the new civil laws in schools their will be a lot more killings that without the commandments:

Student draws a picture of Jesus: Kill him;
Student steals a pencil or piece of paper: Kill him;
Student isn’t Jewish: Kill him!
What is more important: The Ten Commandments or the First Amendment?
