    It hasn’t stopped preachers from raping kids even though the ten commandments are in churches.

      “I know if I carry around my pocket ten commandments at all times, it stops me from sticking my old sweaty semi-hard cock into every sweet virgin 10 year old butthole I can get my hands on. So you should display them everywhere I may be in contact with kids, just in case I misplace my wallet.” - This Guy, Probably

          Sorry about that. It was vile to write, too. But it illustrates how vile someone has to be to think that the only thing stopping child rape is reminding them that “it’s against the rules”, which… it’s also not against their rules, either. No commandment says anything at all about rape or pedophilia, which is just wild. But don’t worry, they got the one about not making any idols/“graven images”, so… the day is saved. In fact, both rape and pedophilia are often completely condoned in the Bible, at least under certain circumstances. So, yeah, I don’t get this guys logic even a little.

    I dare say he’s already breaking one of the ten: that of bearing false witness, by claiming in the general sense that teachers are raping kids, when he knows it’s not true.

        You could argue “adultery” in a more general sense (or maybe in the original context outside of English, I’m not sure) could contain the modern definition as well as the general idea of “being with someone who is not your spouse”.

    If posting them in the churches didn’t stop priests and pastors, why would it work differently with teachers in schools?

    The ten commandments have done a really good job of keeping tens of thousands of clergy from raping millions of children worldwide over the past centuries. How could this possibly not work?

    Which number commandment prohibits rape, and which prohibits child abuse?

    Weird how they could fit at least three “suck up to god” commandments (depending which sect is counting), and neither of those two, or “thou shalt not treat humans as property”.

      While not the commandments of course, the bible does state that a man who lays with a boy, the way he lays with a woman, should be killed. Of course again, the church perverted this meaning to make out that being gay was outlawed by the Bible, specifically at the expense of not being allowed to rape little boys…
