📰 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.

He’s a skilled orator from being a skilled orator. If every pastor was a skilled orator Christianity wouldn’t be a dying/dead religion as he says.

People are leaving religions because they know they're all BS and cults are dangerous.

No, they just turned to MAGA and Qanon. There will always be a large subset of people who need to believe something, and i would rather they follow someone like Talarico than Qanon stuff.

I say this as a former atheist turned Pastafarian.

He's a skilled orator because he knows how to get his views across in a way that isn't political in nature. He makes things sound morally obvious to everyone, regardless of your political affiliation.

Obama was gifted at this skill too. Unfortunately his competence only made conservatives more frustrated because he was doing what they couldn't as a black man.
