Cliff Stearns (R-FL) proposed a display of the Ten Commandments in the capital building (without the scoreboard lights) in 2005. The bill did not pass.

I'm not in the least bit surprised, most of these bastards aren't willing to live by the same rules they impose on everyone else.
Can we have the beatitudes instead ? You know the supposed words of Christ.
Seems appropriate since itโs already required in schools
Yeah that's what made me think of this... before you go indoctrinating children against their will (and the will of the parents), maybe you should become better role-models first.
This probably wouldnโt go as well as you might hope, this just gives them the opportunity to say something like โI know Iโm not perfect which is why Iโm thankful for the grace of my savior Jesus Christโ.
Its actually a feature of Christianity that you can sin as much as you want after you do the magic prayer, they are technically supposed to try not to, but the inevitable failure is due to manโs fallibility
As my dad said, he'll answer to god when he's dead. So that means he doesn't answer to me or anyone else he's been a complete p.o.s. to. Convenient.
Wouldn't that just trigger the "thou shalt not lie" commandment? We're not their god, we can punish them with immediate judgement.
Theoretically but Iโve never seen a Christian in a position of power called on that
Obviously it's time we started!
I agree, Iโm just stating that if it doesnโt come from their own, which it never will because they insulate each other from consequences, it wonโt have much of an effect
See, you're looking at it logically.
What you need is a frontal lobe lobotomy so you can happily ignore whatever you please, just like they do.
What was I thinking? Oh that's the problem, I was thinking...
Wouldn't work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he's a "good christian man" in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don't care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.
On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.
So you mean all of the things that are legal for Biden to now do thanks to SCOTUS? ๐
He'd be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he'd never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.
Restream a public feed with said scoreboard, commentary, and live twitch comments.
I was kinda thinking the same thing... Since we can't trust the various networks to be equally honest about both parties, maybe we could do something on lemmy similar to how reddit does livestream news feeds, except we put the scoreboard on the side and let participants vote on new additions for each delegate.
The ten crack commandments
Yesssss
Or, in Eastern countries, the five precepts.
Since our politics cannot hold one religion above another, I say we have a scoreboard for every religion with a final board listing how good or evil each politician rates overall.
For congresspeople they're more like "The ten vague suggestions"
In the circles I follow, itโs called The Ten Demandments
Itโs like Canada and the Geneva Suggestions
And yes I stole that from HLC from YouTube
Ten rules that poor people must follow
The Ten Glance Ats
Scoreboards have buzzers, lets make it obvious every time they 'score' a new sin!
The tentative agreements
