Things I learned during the Alabama Legislature's Ten Commandments debate
By Kyle Whitmire | kwhitmire@al.com
Should Alabamians be able to hang the Ten Commandments in public buildings, including schools and courthouses?
Rep. DuWayne Bridges, R-Valley, wants to give Alabamians an opportunity to decide at the ballot box, and this week he again introduced a bill to send an amendment of the Alabama Constitution to voters.
The debate over the bill was, to say the least, as interesting as it was meandering.
Here are a few things I learned about morality and Biblical history while listening to the debate.
- School shootings, patricide and matricide are due to the Ten Commandments not being displayed in schools and other government buildings. – Rep. Bridges.
- "Jesus himself said feed those who are hungry, clothe those who are nekkid." – Rep. Darrio Melton, D-Selma.
- People who believe in Mohammed practice "Muslimism." – Rep. James Buskey, D-Mobile.
