Thanks Mephisto, I larp as high-IQ in the hopes of making it someday.
why post the Ten Commandments of the old covenant? I think it would be much more effective that the Beatitudes were posted
Great question! It sounds cultural as if there's something about America that likes the Ten Words more than the Eight Blessings. I will bookmark that unanswered because it's probably a valid criticism that American churchianity is more comfortable putting Moses forward than Jesus in many circumstances, when you'd think they'd be willing to put Jesus first despite offense.
I will note though that we were literally constituted "in the year of our Lord" 1787, and by putting that clause in the Constitution the founders were all giving Jesus authority to lord this land indefinitely. Not that we're doing a great job, but better than some, with more to come. Since you find yourself stuck in a country with us constitutionists, I encourage you to make a lifelong pursuit of finding out the real law that transcends the Ten Words (many atheists like the Golden Rule as all-inclusive) and then directing people to that, as it would be better than larping.
