It's funny what kids don't understand. I grew up in an extremely Catholic world. I think I was about 10 before I realized that Protestants believe in Jesus. I thought that they were sorta pretend Catholics, who just went to church sometimes because that's what you do on Sunday morning.You can break 7 of the 10 in America (as things stand now) without breaking any laws.
Also, are kids going to have adultery defined for them? I remember being puzzled by that word when I was old enough to read but blissfully ignorant of a lot of reality. I assumed adultery meant grownups being grownup, although that made the commandment nonsensical.
I can't tell from the words whether they believe this or are being sarcastic. So yes... "Summer child", indeed.Summer child.With two and a half exceptions (since Gorsuch was raised Catholic), this SCOTUS is the American Holy See. If something offends a bishop, but helps, say, all women, they'll find a way to condemn -- er, overturn -- it.
I find it hard to believe this conspiracy theory about activist judges deliberately framing their opinions based on personal bias.
Surely judges are going to apply the law impartially, without fear or favor, based solely on sound jurisprudence - no matter who appointed them.
I thought there was a Catholic Church and a Protestant Church. And that was it for Christianity. It wasn't until I went to college I learned about what Protestant churches were and not until I was out of college and learned some Protestants are insane!It's funny what kids don't understand.

So, to be clear, it would be rather unkind to her and yourself to neglect to point out that much of the language spiritualists use apply to real things in real ways, and that it is in large part their religious language and basis for understanding that generally causes the bad to get pulled in with the sound-but-unargued premises there.I thought there was a Catholic Church and a Protestant Church.

Gonna be teaching my daughter about religion this summer so understands the hub bub. She wasn't even certain about what god was when it was mentioned in a book she was reading. Oh, it'll be fun.
But you can break them all and do it all the time and Jesus still loves you and forgives you.There isn't a lot of nonsense in the ten commandments. The last 5 set of rules are actually quite decent. Of course, the Eightfold Path would be a much better thing to display, from a morality standpoint. But that doesn't include the veiled threat of Yahweh. The only reason for its inclusion in the first place.
Then, said Cranly, you do not intend to become a protestant?It's funny what kids don't understand. I grew up in an extremely Catholic world.

ETA ~When I started realizing that I couldn't believe what I was being taught about Jesus and stuff, I thought I had to be atheist. I couldn't be a Protestant because then I'd go to hell. ~
George?!? Where'd you get that idea? I thought everybody knew this one.What is the lord thy god's name?Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.
George. I bet it's George.
When we hear about unreasonable decisions by judges these days they're usually from the right.Summer child.With two and a half exceptions (since Gorsuch was raised Catholic), this SCOTUS is the American Holy See.

Maybe its only Democrat appointed judges who apply the law impartially, without fear or favor. *shrug*
