East Texas ….. Again.

Juanita has no idea why the Steeple People are so attached to the Ten Commandments. “Other than the fact that they love to say NO! unnecessarily loud, I don’t see the attraction to the Ten Commandments. It wasn’t even a good movie,” she says.
“I, having been brought up in Sunday School, love the Sermon on the Mount. That’s Sweet Jesus and his message, all rolled into one sermon,” Juanita explains. “I suspect the Super DeLux Brand Christians don’t like the Beautitudes because there’s no references to gun-toters, haters, or bad Samaritans being followers of Sweet Jesus.”
“So, anyway, East Texas State Representative Dan Flynn (Rep, I’m-a-better-Christian-than-you-are-ville) is pushing himself a bill to let teachers put the Ten Commandments “prominently displayed” in the classroom,” she reports.
“My position on this hasn’t changed,” Juanita says. “When the Baptist Church starts prominently displaying the periodic table of elements in their church, I’ll be all for the ten commandments in the classroom.”
“You do know why the don’t display the Ten Commandments in the Lege, don’t you? The whole Don’t Steal or Lie thing.”
