Because that works so well in Churches? 🤔
Beside the idiocy of thinking that the mere displaying of the Ten Commandments automatically makes the property in question somehow more righteous, more moral, or just generally safer for children… you do know that the Ten Commandments, notably and infamously, do not have any commandment forbidding rape OR pedophilia. And, in fact, the Bible seems to be generally fine with those things at least under certain situations, so…
Honestly, probably helps explain all that child raping going on in churches. Nobody wrote down that they couldn’t.
Yup, the Bible btw loves rape. There are tons of stories about rape in there… And they don’t all end with “that’s why you shouldn’t rape”.
There’s fucking instructions on how to getcha a good rape victim!
Numbers 17-18 (paraphrased):
“1.Kill all the men and boys. 2. Kill all the women who has had sex with a man. 3. Kidnap the remaining women and girls that are still virgins, and take them for yourselves as wives.”
Judges 21:20-23 (again, paraphrased):
"Go stalk and hide in the places where young women do their traditional dances. When they come out to dance, catch and kidnap one for yourself and take her as your wife. When their male family members protest, tell them that the men should actually be helping you to steal their daughters and sisters because you didn’t didnt manage to get any in the war, so you need these girls. Tell them it’s fine, they don’t have to be guilty, because they didn’t actually offer them the girls themselves.
And they did that, kidnapped the young women, and returned home with them."
For context on this one, there was a place that most isrealites deemed too sinful to exist, like Sodom, so they decided to do a genocide on it. But one tribe refused to do said genocide, and stood against the rest of the tribes. All of that tribe were then killed except 600 men by the rest of the Isrealites.
But that left those 600 men without wives, and they were still the chosen people. So, while the rest of Isreal swore to never let their daughters marry someone from that tribe, they still decided to help get them replacement wives… with another genocide. When another tribe failed to join their war coalition, they went and killed everyone there except the virgin girls, around 400 of them. Then gave the wifeless tribe the above instructions.
What makes this story extra shitty is the entire reason for the original genocide was because one group of men raped and murdered one woman. While that it abhorrent, they then corrected this crime with at least 400 rapes and tens of thousands of murders. Yaaaaay. Much better. Thanks, The Bible!
That shit is in the fucking Bible. Read those passages for the direct translations without my paraphrasing, if you like. It doesn’t get any better.
that’s one hell of a parallel universe airbud scene
“it says a man shall not lie with a man… doesn’t say anything about boys”
I didn’t even know airbud could talk
You’ve put the concept Horny Airbud into my brain and I would like to return it, please.
Let me tell you what happened to a classmate of mine when we were in ~ 6th grade at Catholic school……
I don’t understand, is this not the onion?
You can have your 10 when I get my 7
He wrote “teachers” but he meant “preachers”.
It’s so easy to get those two mixed up.
He’s wrong either way.
That sounds very much like projection…
As someone who grew up in Boston… it didn’t fucking stop the priests.
Yeah, that never happens in religious school.
Except with this teacher, the first one in a quick search, and lots and lots of others: https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/fishers-christian-academy-teacher-preliminarily-charged-with-sex-crimes-against-children
I mean a lifetime dedicated to the church and god didn’t stop all those rapist priests, but surely a poster on the wall with 10 rules will…
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…
Also school shootings ? Or is that for a diff pastor to say ?
The ten commandments has long been known to stop people from abusing kids.
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?
The Ten Commandments don’t even stop priests from raping children.
There’s nothing in the Ten Commandments about not raping people period.
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”.
No it will not.
