The North Dakota House of Representatives voted down a bill Wednesday that would have mandated the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school cafeteria and state-funded college.

The bill was defeated on a 53-38 vote.

    I went to catholic schools growing up that had the ten commandments displayed. I guarantee that they didn’t save one life or marriage. They only did one thing, cause all of us to ask questions about wtf they were saying. Like, what does covet really mean and was it translated well? Or, tell people not to kill while offering up sacrifices is kind of weird? All of these can be interpreted so many ways, wtf?

      Catholics looked at the commandment to not make graven images or worship them as a challenge.
