    Who is this actual Christian man spouting words of golden wisdom?
    Because, as an agnostic, he's exactly the sort of Christian I would never debate. I may not believe as he does, but I respect the Hell out of him. He's living the things he believes in, and that's a hundred percent ok with me.
    Maybe the gung-ho, use it like a club Republicans who call themselves "Christian" should listen more to people like this.

      So when a democrat liberal is enthusiastic about his beliefs he is "spouting words of golden wisdom"
      But when Republicans are equally enthusiastic about say...teaching Christianity without involving "gay pride" they are "gung ho use it like a club"

      I think he left it in for a slightly (and I do mean slightly. I see the wisdom in what you're saying) different reason
      My thoughts are he left this there because of the immense irony. How wonderful for HER to have the freedom to "go in a different direction", when the entire bill removes that ability from students themselves.
      For her to say that, with no pause or reflection, spoke volumes.

      ​@@Divoncy They can't, because policies like housing projects to provide shelter at affordable rates, healthcare for all to ensure sound body and mind, and regulation of tools of violence are more Christian than anything they could prop up on their side of the aisle. Democrat- but really, not that but progressivism (which happens to be the democratic party in this era of history)- is the heart of faith as taught by Jesus Christ himself. Equality and communism are both edicts of Christ, yet they prop up the wealthy to a pedestal near demi-godhood. It is absurd, deplorable, and hypocritical.
      The only way they can is to judge others in place of god. A violation of god's own teachings.
      A well-regulated capitalist- so regulated it borders on socialist- economy is probably the best economic form, and democracy, where the people genuinely have say over their leaders- regardless of how big their bank account is- is the ideal government for the imperfection called humanity.

      These false christians are scared their losing their power because the US is becoming less and less religious as the years go by and as the march of progress continues. Unfortunately they give true christians like you a bad name by their blasphemy of comparing their golden calf to the son of God himself, among worse things that I would dare not say. This coming from me who left the church because of what it was becoming and due to certain actions of the clergy in charge of my local church all those years ago. I personally, and with all due respect believe that living with the bible, and living BY it, are two entirely different things, the former being far easier then the latter, but I respect those that work their whole lives living by the teachings of the bible even if I don't always agree with them.

I mean, I realize that people of certain religions are convinced that THEIR superstitions are right and none of the others are valid.... but since they're all invalid, then making a rule that you have to post the rules set with flawed logic means you'd have to post them all since they're all baseless.

      yep and this why parents are taken their kids out of Government run indoctrinated leftist schools ,i have 2 Granddaughters who go to a Christian school here in Arkansas, and i thank god for that, plus you have parents yanking their kids out of the leftist school system and home schooling their own kids at home, and more and more parents are wising up, they don't want their kids learning queer sex and having trannies perverts in Government run schools and boys in girls restrooms , the radical left and the communist teachers union has ruin Government run schools, the godless left has taken God out of school and look at the consequences now ,go to democrat run cities, half of the students cant even read 6 grade level , when i went to school here in Arkansas, , we had a 30 minute bible reading ,no one complain or try to stop the kids from reading gods word in class, now since the radical left has taken god out of public schools their are crimes and low standards in Government run schools

    As a teacher, I truly appreciate Representative Talarcio's view. No ONE religion should be placed above another, and NO religious "poster" should be plastered in a public school classroom! It's called separation of church and state for a reason.

      In order to retain power. The Christian religion has always had it's share of hypocrites who misuse scripture to suit their own agenda - not God's. 2 Corinthians 2:17. "For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ..."

      I refuse to give name to that orange elder as I do not respect or like him, but he has broken commandment after commandment time and again, I mean, how badly do you have to screw up to drive a CASINO into bankruptcy?

    I lean right on almost everything, however, forcing the ten commandments to be displayed in every classroom is bullshit. Are they going to allow muslim folks to display their beliefs in these classrooms? I have a feeling that the answer is a resounding no. ALL or NONE. It's only fair, right? Right? That type of thing should be in religious schools, not normal, public schools.

    From my experiences there are two main kinds of religious people. The first find peace and happiness in their religion. The second need you to follow their teachings so they can have power over you.
