This probably wouldn’t go as well as you might hope, this just gives them the opportunity to say something like “I know I’m not perfect which is why I’m thankful for the grace of my savior Jesus Christ”.
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 man’s 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.
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...
Theoretically but I’ve never seen a Christian in a position of power called on that
Obviously it's time we started!
I agree, I’m just stating that if it doesn’t come from their own, which it never will because they insulate each other from consequences, it won’t have much of an effect
Can we have the beatitudes instead ? You know the supposed words of Christ.
For congresspeople they're more like "The ten vague suggestions"
Ten rules that poor people must follow
The Ten Glance Ats
The tentative agreements
Scoreboards have buzzers, lets make it obvious every time they 'score' a new sin!
It’s like Canada and the Geneva Suggestions
And yes I stole that from HLC from YouTube
In the circles I follow, it’s called The Ten Demandments
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.
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.
Seems appropriate since it’s 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.
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.
Yesssss
