Makes sense. It has definitively stopped child abuse in churches! Oh, wait.

This guy definitely assaulted a child in his life
At the very least he knows the age of consent in every jurisdiction.
Oh most def.
I dare say he’s already breaking one of the ten: that of bearing false witness, by claiming in the general sense that teachers are raping kids, when he knows it’s not true.
The Ten Commandments don't even stop priests from raping children.
There’s nothing in the Ten Commandments about not raping people period.
It hasn't stopped preachers from raping kids even though the ten commandments are in churches.
Let me tell you what happened to a classmate of mine when we were in ~ 6th grade at Catholic school…..
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.
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"

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".

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?
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...
That sounds very much like projection...
Yeah sure because rapists are people who take religion so seriously.
When they do they're called priests.
If posting them in the churches didn't stop priests and pastors, why would it work differently with teachers in schools?
Their training to be a man of the cloth gains them resistance to holy damage

That hasn't stopped the Church, GOP, Youth Pastors or Cops.
He wrote "teachers" but he meant "preachers".
He's wrong either way.
MAGA pastor = deceiver.
No it will not.
Is no pedophilia one of the commandments?
Magical thinking. This man needs to be given a fucking medal for his stupidity

"Isn't it convenient how my religion is all about how great I am and how rich I should be. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Jesus intended. No, wait... I don't care!!!"
This is a giant red flag waving at the speed of sound. This is projection. I would bet my salary this guy has raped children.
Hey legal question and totally unrelated.
If I got some furry porn commissioned and named one of the characters "Pastor Jack Hibbs" then alerted the media in Chino California of the existence of said porn would anything bad happen? Pretty sure it would fall under protected speech because a reasonable person wouldn't conclude I was claiming that he was an anthropomorphic fox.
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.
You can have your 10 when I get my 7
I had an extremely religious teacher in secondary school. He had a habit of threatening other staff, tradesmen, drivers in front of his pupils with "I know taekwando", then relising what he'd just done and repenting/distracting with "let us pray". One morning we came into the classroom to find him in a huddle with his union rep. Turned out he'd spent the night in jail after being arrested affray (fighting).
For almost all religious people their faith provides guidance and comfort, but you don't want to encourage the nuts.
guidance and comfort
You mean justification.
I feel like faith provides a disproportionate of comfort compared to guidance. People take the parts of religion they agree with, and discard the rest. I actually think this is good practice, but it becomes an issue when they use the affirmation of the broader religion to justify their actions.
A moral compass is something you have to find for yourself, and acknowledge that it is not backed up or justified by any other entity than yourself.
For me, I’ve found a good starting point is the TST tenets. Compared to the 10 commandments, they are much more broad. I can use them as a lens to analyze a variety of different situations and organize my thoughts and feelings.
But that doesn’t mean that I use TST to justify my actions, the tenets are my tools of introspection. Heck, the 7th tenet even acknowledges that the tenets are only guiding principles and seems to encourage finding your own morals.
