I honestly think this was part of their plan. Enact a clearly unconstitutional law, get someone to sue get it escalated all the way to the Supreme Court, and have the Supreme Court somehow pull out of their ass that it’s constitutional.
I want the ten Commandments of the satanists church then as well, with a little sweet Baphomet statue next to it to drive the point Home

No such thing.
The Church of Satan has the Nine Satanic Statements but I think you mean the Seven Tenets of the Satanic Temple? Either way, neither comes in a quantity of ten.
Translate the Commandments to Arabic and display them to see the world burn.
I wonder if the people who wrote the law know that there are multiple versions of the 10 commandments.
They’re pretty similar, but the numbers don’t match up.
The commandment against killing is #6 for Jews and Protestants, but #5 for Catholics. Stealing is #8 for Jews and Protestants, but #7 for Catholics. Then there are some bigger differences.
For Jews #2 says “You shall have no other gods beside me. You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth.” That’s effectively split into #1 and #2 for Protestants, with #1 being “no other gods” and #2 being “no graven images”. For Catholics, “no other gods” is #1, but they got rid of the bit about graven images, presumably so they can have old finger bones people can worship, or statues to Mary. So, for Catholics #2 says not to take the name of their god in vain. Catholics make up for that by having a commandment against coveting the milf next door and a second one about your neighbour’s stuff, whereas Jews and Protestants have just 1 commandment against coveting your neighbour’s stuff.
Also, the Jews didn’t seem to understand the assignment for #1, because it’s not actually a commandment, it’s backstory: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage.” So, Jews really have 9 commandments and 1 informational message.
Also, fun loophole. All 3 versions say “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” #9 for Jews and Protestants, #8 for Catholics. But, if someone isn’t your neighbour… Loophole!
They needed #1 since they were never in Egypt to begin with. All archaeological evidence points to the Israelites being Cannannites that decided to kill their cousins, and claim they weren’t related. They attached themselves to Egypt because Egypt was more powerful back then than the Mittani and the Assyrians.
If you talk to many american christians, then the answer is whatever they personally learned or believe. You must believe the same as them and their arbitrary translation of the Bible. All other possibilities are blasphemous and a personal attack on them.

I’m very Christian and am fully supportive of suing over this bullshit.
