In 2025, Texas legally required public schools to display the 10 Commandments in classrooms. Self-proclaimed Christian James Talarico argued against the passing of this bill, so much so that he equated it to “violence” against other religions. It’s unclear how he can equate the most important religious laws in his alleged faith to “violence,” but that tells you everything you need to know.

The law was later shut down by a judge, but that is neither here nor there. Leftists' opinions, more often than not, are not rooted in morality or universal truth. The Ten Commandments, however, are, and you don't even need to be a Christian to understand that.

He claimed that “This bill, to me, is not only unconstitutional, it’s not only un-American, I think it is also deeply un-Christian.”

It does violence to both Christianity and Judaism. There are way more than Ten Commandments in the Jewish tradition—613 mitzvot—and Christianity has its own rich diversity of interpretations. This bill picks and chooses one version, promotes it in public schools, and ignores the beautiful diversity of both faiths. It has no historical basis in American history as a mandate for public education.

This is a lie. The founding absolutely has a basis in the Christian faith, as the Bill of Rights was founded for a moral people. According to John Adams, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” This is because this is the only country founded on the idea that rights come from God, not the government. Subsequently, the government has no right to take away these rights, which is why some may argue that the Ten Commandments are crucial moral laws regarding this country's founding principles.

This is not complicated, and again, you don't need to be Christian to understand that.

And let’s talk about the Founding Fathers—I am a lot more religious than some of our Founding Fathers.

It takes a lot of arrogance to claim you are more religious than the Founding Fathers while bashing your religion. This level of cognitive dissonance is only possible among the most progressive leftists.

Man — this guy is really something — isn't he?
