Not saying I would, but would love to see it.

I would, or might put a crack in the wall that separates church and state, if a right wing, conservative Christian wished to put up the 8 Beatitudes instead of the 10 Commandments on a public building.


Not to worry, not a chance.

One should just do the right thing and just knowing you did good should be enough
I am sick of all the corruption within organized religion
the second half of the Bible talks of love and kindness, yet the so called religious come with so much hate and anger
The 8 Beatitudes would not make a difference

is if someone paid to erect a monument which inscribed one of the really terrible misogynistic, vicious, brutally militant, illogical, or all round generally stupid verses from the Bible. One of those verses that they never teach you in Sunday school.
