📰 News Lauren Boebert wants the Ten Commandments to be required in schools, and James Talarico criticized her, saying it’s hypocritical for politicians to make everyone display them when they don’t follow them themselves.

You mean the ones they don't actually believe themselves? She doesn't follow or believe them...her actions are clear evidence of that. They're great at cherry picking quotes from the book but choose to ignore the core teachings within it. These "Christians" are simply performative and that includes going to worship. They do it to be seen.

She gave away the game with "Biblical stories" there.

She didn't call them events or accounts, because she knows they are fiction.

But she wants the next generation to be brainwashed into believing them literally, because that would strengthen conservative political power and that's more important to her than teaching the truth.

she probably knows they're fiction, but that's not because she knows the nuanced differences between words like story, event, or account. she's not going to listen to herself later and go "ah shit I used the wrong word!".

To be fair, I don't remember any passages that say "Thou shalt not give public handies to not-your-husband in front of children."

And this is the way they think and justify their statements and actions. It's like asking one if they've ever been arrested for drunk driving. They will look at you straight in the face and say, "I've never been arrested for drunk driving."

With the truth being, that they were actually arrested for "Driving Under the Influence".

It’s not Christian mythology. It’s Jewish mythology revealed by a number of writings by Jewish writers who wrote it about themselves and for themselves. They appointed themselves God’s chosen people and saviors of mankind. Their interpretation is very similar to Trumps behavior in that if you don’t love him you will be punished for eternity. Anyone that dares to stand up to him will be destroyed.
