James Talarico on Bill Maher last night was a master class on how it's done: As Christians, we're supposed to follow Jesus' two commandments, to love God and love neighbor... Forcing my religion down their throats is not love. America is not a Christian nation. It is a nation...

Talarico: America is not a Christian Nation, it’s a nation where you are free to be Christian or [any other religion] or nothing at all. Boebert: I do like that…I do……yes.

Maher: So being Christian is an important part of being truly American? Boebert: Absolutely James Talarico: As a Christian, I was taught that we're supposed to follow Jesus' two commandments — love God and love neighbor. There was no exception to that second commandment. Love thy neighbor regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation or immigration status or religious affiliation. In Texas, I'm constantly battling Christian nationalism — a bill that forces every public school teacher to put up a poster of the 10 Commandments, a bill that replaces school counselors with untrained chaplains, a bill that would have taught Christian Bible stories as historical fact to our youngest students. And I always speak up on behalf of my Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, agnostic, and atheist neighbors. Because we as Christians are called to love them as ourselves, and forcing my religion down their throats is not love.

Boebert: The separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. We are a Christian nation James Talarico: America is not a Christian nation. It is a nation where you are free to be a Christian — or any other faith, or no faith at all. The religious right would probably call the Founding Fathers ‘not real Christians’ given their beliefs. I think it's important that we remember our true history and we honor that that promise of America as a melting pot — E pluribus unum, out of many one. It's a promise we obviously haven't ever fulfilled, but it is one that we're still trying to fulfill.

Hi, I am a devout Christian. Christianity is meant to be about love, empathy, and acceptance. You and every other transphobic bigot are a stain on this religion, and not what at all acting how God wants you to be. You are not welcome here.

When asked why he is opposed to mandating the Ten Commandments in public schools, Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin), in seminary to become a Baptist minister, calls the bill un-American and unchristian. "...Forcing my religion down throats through government action is not love."

Q: Ken Paxton said that requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms is a ‘major victory for Texas and our moral values.’ What’s your response to Ken Paxton? James Talarico: I’m not sure if Ken Paxton is in a place to lecture us on moral values. My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself — not just my neighbors who look like me, vote like me, or pray like me. I don’t want anyone forcing their religion down my throat, and I certainly don’t want the government forcing a religion down my throat. I’m a Christian, but I know that the most dangerous form of government is theocracy. Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

“There are so many pathways to the sacred…. God is not a Christian. God is not a noun at all. God is a verb. God is not a being. God is being itself. God is love, and that’s why Jesus is against anything that gets in the way of that love between neighbors, including religion.”

"People are getting mad because I said that America is founded on Christian values." "The 13 colonies had their own state constitutions and nearly all of them had a declaration of faith." "They professed that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Not Allah, not some other guy, Jesus Christ." "55/56 of the original signer of the Declaration of Independence were Bible believing, God fearing Christians." America has always been and always will be a Christian Nation!

.James Talarico: There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism. It is the worship of power in the name of Christ—and it is a betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus never asked us to kill police officers, ban books, silence teachers, or defund schools. Jesus never asked us to control women's bodies or establish a Christian theocracy. All he asked was that we love thy neighbor. We are called to love all of our neighbors, and that is exactly the opposite of what Christian Nationalism does in the world.

.James Talarico calls out bill forcing schools to display the Ten Commandments: "This bill is not only unconstitutional, it's not only un-American, it's also deeply un-Christian. In scripture it says faith without works is dead. Instead of bringing a bill that will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick — we're mandating that people put up a poster. This is what gives us religious people a bad name. Instead of living out the way of Jesus, we're instead imposing our beliefs on other people.”

Why is it only Christians and Western people expected to show absolutely no favouritism for their own culture? Muslim countries are allowed to be Muslim. They have the Shahada on their flag. America is 70% Christian. Western law, morality, and the legal system are built on it. Putting the Ten Commandments in schools isn't forcing religion on anyone. Freedom of religion is not freedom from religion.
