Are they really commandments?

Separation of church and state? My ass, in two parts.

If this nation of ours -- borne from the pursuit of religious freedom as well as the freedom from religion -- truly lived up to the ideals of our American forefathers, we wouldn't have "In God we trust" printed on our currency. We wouldn't have Blue laws on the book, prohibiting any commerce on Sunday, even though Jesus observed Shabbat on Saturday.  And we wouldn't have religious fanatics pulling and pushing the levers of this power.

Last week the irrational fascination with Imaginary Sky Daddy or The Flying Spaghetti Monster, seen here...

...took a delta-elbow turn for even greater irrationality. The state of Louisiana has mandated The Ten Commandments (brought to you by your elder brothers of Hebraic seasonings, you're welcome) be posted in all public schools including those of higher dis-education. 

The joke floating around the interwebs, almost faster than the Huak Tuah Girl, is that it would be nice if Louisiana children could actually read the Ten Commandments. I could do jokes about poor bayou kids with no foot coverin's and even less teeth, until the social media police come and rescind all my digital bloviation privileges.

But there are even greater stakes at hand that must be addressed.

Following the order of in-god-trination (SWIDT) Donald Trump made a beeline for the nearest microphone in order to weaponize the move. And to align himself with the good bible-thumpiung, god-fearing people in Louisiana,  the Bacardi State. 

He also posted, in his signature all cap motif, “I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???”

But he didn't stop there. 

In a move not noticed by mainstream media, he also had private talks with his team of crack legal eagles who currently have a monumental power-of-the-presidency case sitting before the Supreme Court. The highest court in the land.

That, it seems, s just a small stepping stone. 

Our Two Corinthians-loving ex-president has also called for a ecumenical conclave of Christians of almost every nomination. As well as a few imams and rabbis, for the optics of equal Abrahamic participation. And plans to present his arguments before the council, that while Ten Commandments should be mandatory for all schoolchildren and abided by by all 8 billion residents of Planet Earth, he should be afforded Total Immunity. 

Because Jesus and Jerry Falwell Jr. said he deserved it.

"I SHOULD HAVE TOTAL IMMUNITY. I NEED TOTAL IMMUNITY. MAYBE JUST FOR DAY ONE OF MY ADMINISTRATION -- BUT PROBABLY MORE. 

SOME OF THESE COMMANDMENTS JUST DON'T MAKE SENSE. IF I COVET A BIRDIE ON THE TOUGH 14TH HOLE AT DORAL COUNTRY CLUB, I SHOULD HAVE IT. EVEN IT MEANS USING MY LEG IRON. OR TAKING A GIMME. I MEAN COME ON!!! I'M THE RULER...PRESIDENT."
