I place this here as the kookiest Shavuos article you will likely ever read. You're welcome in advance.
“This year, the #Jewish holiday of #Shavuot starts on 21 May. It commemorates the giving of the #TenCommandments at #MountSinai. The #revelation occurs in the desert at the foot of a mountain, far from civilisation, just as #Moses encountered the divine in the wilderness at the burning bush (#Exodus 3:1-22).
Why did the revelation not take place in Egypt, in a palace or in a temple? Why the wilderness?
Shavuot tries to preserve that original encounter. #Jews stay up all night studying, as if preparing again to receive the #Commandments. They are read with the congregation standing, and their language is unmistakably personal: You shall not murder. You shall not steal. You shall not lie. The words are addressed to individuals before institutions."

#MAGA religious leaders erect a golden statue of #Trump at his #Doral golf club.
The cautionary tale of the golden calf from Exodus 32 is instructive here. The golden idol ends up ground to powder and the worshippers forced to eat it.

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me” sure sounds like a pretty clear case of Texas attempting to force a religion into schools #TenCommandments
Can we just not?

#Texas can require the #TenCommandments to be displayed in #PublicSchool #classrooms, a #US appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for #conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more #religion into schools.
It sets up a potential clash at #SCOTUS over the issue in the future.
The ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals claimed in the decision that the #law did not violate either the #EstablishmentClause or the #FreeExerciseClause of the #FirstAmendment. -

Spurgeon—particular Baptist, London—points out that certain businesses cannot function if employees tell the truth. Firing offence. He adds that professing Christians are keeping the whole operation running, lacking courage to say we want nothing to do with this. Pastoral warnings about workplace complicity are somewhat rarer than warnings about other sins. The stamp, apparently, must run.

@itsweezie Of course, MILLIONS of people have died in prior wars & purges in the "name" of #Catholicism" & MILLIONS of #Jews were singled out for death by the #Nazis. 🤷♂️
This is not the reason I'm am an #antheist." I use to hedge can call myself an #agnostic but I am a DEVOTE atheist.
I'm not #religious because #religion is just something that was made up by MEN to control & exert power over people into behaving the way that they want people to behave in subordination to them.
If you believe in the tenets of any religion, you do NOT have to abide by the rules of an organized religion to live by them.
I believe in the #TenCommandments & the #GoldenRule not because I believe in #Christianity but because they just make sense. 🤷♂️
There are other religious tenets that make no sense to me at all & I pay absolutely NO attention to them.

"#JennaWeissmanJoselit was looking for a project that wasn’t so “heavily freighted” after her #book on the #American “embrace” of the #TenCommandments came out in 2017. “Out of the blue,” an editor at the #Jewish Lives #biography series, a #Yale #University Press and #LeonDBlack Foundation project, asked her to #write a book about #Rabbi #MordecaiKaplan, founder of #Reconstructionist #Judaism.
“Without missing a beat and without thinking what this entailed, I said, ‘Yes, yes. Of course, of course,’” the Charles E. Smith #professor of #Judaicstudies and of #history at #GeorgeWashingtonUniversity told JNS.
She didn’t question why she was chosen. “I’m not the obvious person. I’m not an intellectual #historian,” #WeissmanJoselit said. “I don’t swim in those high-minded #philosophical, #theological waters.”
The historian had known of #Kaplan and had explored a “smidgen” of his diaries, but not all 70 years of them..."

Martin Luther taught that covetousness—the restless desire for more—must be put to death. The Christian test is plain: the Golden Rule, dealing with others as we would be dealt with, the foundation of equity and justice.
Yet today complaints of unfairness are often dismissed as envy, and the charge of coveting is turned upon the complainant rather than the sin.
