And those three things in my reading of the Gospel are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus. I believe it is exclusionary and I believe it is arrogant. This bill to me is not only unconstitutional, it's not only un-American I think it is also deeply un-Christian.Īnd I say that because I believe this bill is idolatrous. I'll probably have more later but, and I say this to you as a fellow Christian representative, I know you're a devout Christian, and so am I.

She said she’d rather not touch the bill, as it came from the state Senate.Īfter pushing back enough that Noble began trying to defer to the “experts” she brought in, Talarico asked: If the bill’s intention is to preserve a document that is “foundational,” would she be open to including other influential and foundational documents in those classrooms, like the Code of Hammurabi or the Magna Carta?Īs Noble clammed up, Talarico finished with a powerful statement: Noble said she’s isn’t, and he asked if she would be “open to an amendment to the bill saying that if a member of the legislature violates these commandments that we can no longer mandate public school teachers put it in classrooms.” Hehe.
Are you worried that this bill is idolatrous?” On the Second Commandment, about not making any graven images, Talarico asked, “The idea that some people would try to make an object, maybe two tablets to worship, rather than worshipping the god behind those two tablets. Noble’s response here was pretty pathetic, saying, “Again, we are using the words that are on the monument,” alluding to “murder.” Talarico then mentioned adultery, and legislators let that one pass by without much further comment. Talarico then pointed out that the commandments also maintain that “Thou Shall Not Kill,” and yet the Texas legislature, backed by Republicans, continues to allow the death penalty in the state. For example, the legislature is set to work on Saturday-which is the Sabbath day. He pointed out that much of the Texas legislature does not seem able to follow many of the Commandments. Talarico began by noting the Ten Commandments are very hard to follow, which he believes to be intentional.
