#Ten Commandments

[saywhat-politics]

Louisiana’s controversial law requiring public schools and colleges to post the Ten Commandments violates the U.S. Constitution and cannot be enforced, a federal appeals court ruled unanimously Friday, upholding a lower court’s decision and raising the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court will be asked to weigh in.

A three-judge panel on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law, which took effect Jan. 1, is "plainly unconstitutional." The ruling affirms a lower court’s order barring the state from enforcing the law, which says that Ten Commandments posters printed in “large, easily readable font” must be displayed in every classroom.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

In a forest full of fairies and wonder, it'd come to no surprise that a sense of happiness filled the air wherever the Fairy King had gone. Gloxinia was flying through the trees, allowing his majestic wings to flutter behind him, looking for many little fairies as they hid from him.

His favorite game to play, hide and seek; Especially as he'd come across so many that were terrible at keeping quiet! They'd either just giggle to themselves or speak to one another; telling each other 'Keep quiet! He might hear us!'

"Caught you!" He'd speak as he would sneak up on them, giving them a sudden fright before putting their heads down at the idea of being found already.

"Aww man." "Boo!" "Hey lets go find the others!" They'd all speak in union before floating off.

The fairy king would cross his arms over his bare chest with a chuckle towards the fairies, watching as they'd fly off to play their own games. "Fairy king!!" Gloxinia was quick to turn to a few little pixies surrounding him with frightened and confused looks. "We felt something creeping around in the forest at the waterfall! It was a weird presence!!"

"Really?" He seemed to almost laugh it off and pat them all on the head, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." He assured before flying off through the forest. It couldn't be that bad, likely a demon. He can handle that.

Well, at the time he wasn't expecting to have met a fairy like them.

After some time, Gloxinia felt a suspicion creeping up his back. There wasn't a sign of anything strange lurking through the trees the longer he searched.

That's when he heard the smallest sounds of something moving towards the ground, walking slowly and bushes rustled. As soon as rushed to the area, it was just a fairy.

"What are you doing here?" Gloxinia asked confused but didn't get an answer from the certain fairy as they turned to him, their expression nothing he's seen before on a fairy. It was a poker face... They almost looked like they were shocked or confused by his sudden appearance. He didn't waste any time, "You haven't seen any demons or anything strange around here, right?"

"no," they spoke, their voice timid and almost on edge.

it felt like was a waste, Gloxinia didn't see anything odd going on, but there was something on his mind. This fairy, he's never seen before, didn't seem like they were much of a social person. He couldn't explain why, but they brought a sudden curiosity to him. "What's your name?" He asked, slowly levitating closer to the ground where they stood and sitting in the air with his wings fluttering behind him.

"(Y/N)." they spoke in a quiet voice.

"Well, I'm sure you already know who I am, Gloxinia, king of the fairies." He spoke, coming off with a light heartedness.

The fairy nodded their head, fiddling around with the edge of their clothes awkwardly before looking away, ".. well, I'm gonna go." They immediately turned to leave.

"How come?"

"I shouldn't be here."

Gloxinia seemed surprised by that answer, whatever did they mean? When he read their heart.. he read a sense of self guilt for being there.. All the fairies are welcomed in the forest. Before he could ask, he watched from behind, their wings made a quick and sudden flutter which made the buzzing sound similar to a bee. (Y/N)'s wings had a unique small shape, nothing he's seen before.. it was a little odd, their wings were much smaller than the average size. Often fairies, for their small size, had wings that were as large as them, this fairies wings didn't even stretch out to cover their back.

"That's a unique set of wings." He commented, pointing it out to them. They seemed to stop in their tracks, their back turned. They didn't answer at first; they didn't want to answer.

"..thanks."

"If it's fine to ask, what are you doing out here by yourself?" He levitated beside them, his arms crossed over his bare chest as he took a closer look at their face.

"..I'm walking through the forest..?" They seemed confused by his question.

"Why not just fly?"

(Y/N) seemed hurt by the question almost, looking down awkwardly as their wings made another buzzing sound of a bee for a slight moment. ".. I can't fly."

Gloxinia definitely wasn't expecting that for an answer, "what?"

"My wings are too weak to carry me no more than like three feet above the ground."

He thought about their words, pondering on it. "Is that why you're out here? By yourself?"

They were quiet, staring at the ground. "I'm an outcast compared to all those fairies. I mean, what's a fairy if they can't fly? They're just.." (Y/N) stopped their words, their hand, almost unconsciously, reached back as their fingers were touching the area where the wings sprout of their back.

Gloxinia thought about it for a moment, there didn't seem to be any sign of actual guilt or anger to signifying they were lying.. but when he read their hearts, there was sign of self hatred, insecurity and envy.. Actually, he felt a feeling of jealousy begin to grow as they stared at his own wings..

"how long have you been like this?"

"a few hundred years.. why?"

He didn't give a answer to your words, thinking for a moment. Although he couldn't help them with how they thought about the idea, but.. "why don't you join the other fairies and me? We're playing a few games."

He watched as their expression almost seemed surprised by the sudden invitation, "didn't you hear me..? I'm an outcast. I can't fly-"

"So?" He cut off their words, he had a almost disappointed look to how they were thinking but his expression still soft, tilting his head withal a little smile. "That doesn't stop you from joining in some fun." Their eyes lit up slowly, which made him smile. He watched as their eyes lit up slowly for a moment, which made him smile. It was like they suddenly got a spark of happiness, something they'd never expect.

(Y/N) didn't say anything, looking down at the ground almost pondering on what to do.

Gloxinia smiled faintly at the expression they made, that spark of happiness almost made him chuckle out loud. They seemed to be confused, and he couldn't blame them. He let them think in silence for a few seconds before speaking.

"do you think, I'll ever get the chance to feel like a real fairy?"

He laughed off their question for a moment, waving his hand in defense to show he didn't mean any offense as they looked surprised and almost offended by the way he responded.

"Well.. wings or not, you're still a fairy by blood which is enough in my book. Now, are you gonna take my hand to join me in a game of tag or I'm gonna have to drag you myself, little flower?" He spoke as he held his hand out in invitation to them again with a grin.

"so you gonna come with me or not?"

The angels not knowing the rules for who gets into heaven makes zero fucking sense when the 10 commandments are right there.

You could even use it to point out how corrupt Heaven is. For example, perhaps Sir Pentious is not accepted into heaven despite him genuinely redeeming himself because "sorry dude you didn't honor your parents lmao" or some shit like that.

Meanwhile, a more vile person (let's use Val as an easy example) could be on their deathbed. They make a last minute conversion and as a result they're accepted into heaven since they technically kept all of the commandments.

I made this, I made sketch of all commandments for my stickers!

But unfortunately I will only be able to sell them in Ukraine.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, God gives Moses the Ten Commandments, which will guide the basic morality of His people.  The Commandments aren't clearly numbered in the story, so the Jews, Catholics, and Protestants all split them up differently.  Despite the slight differences in numbering, we all use the same verses and end up with the same general rules.  In this cartoon, I use the Catholic method of numbering them, so the First Commandment is made up of verses 2-6. 2. In the Bible, the first set of tablets were inscribed by God Himself.  In this cartoon, God tries to have Moses write them first, but Moses isn't able to keep up, only finishing the first letter of God's speech by the time He's done.

Having thoughts about ten commandments in NNT and DAMN, SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL, SO MUCH THAT IT MAKES ME PAINFUL.

I do believe that they're found, forged even, family who know eachother really good like themselves, they were incredibly close like true siblings (and gramps because we have Galan)

Just imagine how terrible they felt when Meliodas left them, betrayed their clan for goddess, and not some random ahh goddess but BLOODY ELI HERSELF. I can see how hardly they tried to cope firstly like "no, no, it can't be, he's probably just infiltrated them" "he will sabotage them, right?" And etc.

And then shock were replaced by hatred and resentment, they wanted to kill him themselves and no matter what. And it's not only because he made a big damage to Demon Race by such thing, HE BETRAYED THEM, HIS FRIENDS.

They probably felt pity for sins, thinking something like "poor little souls, do they know what a scum Meliodas is?".

And also, I do believe that they also still have some good memories about hanging out with Mel and it makes things even more hurtful for them, like he was one of their best friends and then everything turned out to be this. Very shitty feeling

And also if there were some antagonist who worked parallelly with DK and commandments who just wanted to kill Mel for no reason or very stupid reason, they wouldn't let him do this because "like we'd let some scum to kill him, he's ours target abd not yours".

The Ten Commandments are a condensed version of the 42 Declarations of Ma'at from ancient Kemet, stripped of their original context and power.

A GOP proposal would make the state the nation's largest with such a mandate.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas would require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a Republican proposal that cleared a major vote Saturday and would make the state the nation's largest to impose such a mandate.

If passed as expected, the measure is likely to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it a constitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

The Republican-controlled House gave its preliminary approval with a final vote expected in the next few days. That would send the bill to the desk of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who has indicated he will sign it into law.

“The focus of this bill is to look at what is historically important to our nation educationally and judicially,” said Republican state representative Candy Noble, a co-sponsor of the bill.

Two other states, Louisiana and Arkansas, have similar laws, but Louisiana's is on hold after a federal judge found that it was “ unconstitutional on its face.”

The photo has very little to do with the theme "onwards", except that every year Israeli Chanukah donuts seem to get even more colorful and delicious!

Changing gloxinia backstory canon he had an evil side before becoming one of the commandments, So gloxinia was supposed to be king but it was given to his sister instead of him since he acted too childish and was cursed to never grow up physically even by fairy terms meaning he stuck with baby wings (he’s a late bloomer like Elaine and King) this angers him every day but when he learns about a way to gain full wings he turns to the demon clan.

Turning to the demon clan changed his philosophy not only his eyes but his whole body as a result.
