“I guess what I’m trying to figure out is why is having a rainbow in a classroom is indoctrination and not having the Ten Commandments in a classroom,” Texas State Rep. James Talarico argued in a now viral video.
Texas State Rep. James Talarico using biblical scripture to tear down conservative Christian arguments
That is what he is saying. To them Jesus doesn’t count. He’s much too nice to others. Really, they don’t care about the Bible except as a tool to abuse others so the argument in the article will not have any influence on christofacist thinking.
I recently read an article where pastors/priests are having this issue. They are quoting Jesus Christ and then being told by MAGA followers that they are spouting “woke liberal propaganda.”
Now, you don’t have to follow what Jesus said to do. I’m not Christian and so don’t model my life around his teachings. But if you claim to “follow Jesus,” but then want to reject what Jesus said to do because it’s “too woke,” then maybe you should get a different religion!
I’m Jewish and I believe so. Of course, they don’t follow those rules either. They want to follow a bunch of rules that they imagine are in the Bible and they won’t let a little thing like those rules not being in there get in their way!

Funny thing is, if you take the bible and ignore the new testament, isn’t that effectively Judaism?

Pharisees, is that you?
Ah, I misunderstood then. I keep hearing Americans praise Jesus, only to turn around and do everything Jesus told people not to do…
But yeah it totally makes sense when you only consider these people who only use the Bible as a tool.
