Things that puzzle me

Why do Christian fundamentalists make a big stink about trying to post the Ten Commandments everywhere? Aren't they supposed to be followers of Jesus Christ, thus the name? So why don't they go around demanding posting stuff from the New Testament, or things Jesus said? Like oh, I dunno. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "Love thy neighbor as yourself." "Judge not, lest ye be judged." etc.

(And yes, I know the answer for some of them is that they're batshit insane death cultists who want to bring about the end of the world. But what about the rest?)

By all rights, something like this shouldn't have happened unless I forgot to make a left turn at Albuquerque. But no, somehow on the way home, I drove out of reality. A moment ago, just shadows in the headlights, now a dragon. Glowing red eyes under that safety barrier. One moment, just telephone poles, the next crucifixes line the road, like after the Romans put down a slave rebellion. These aren't sanitized myths that trot out every Halloween. They fill the road as far as the headlights can reach, things that go bump in the night I don't slow down.
