Episode Synopsis

Half of The Ten Commandments amount to commands that people worship the Jewish tribal god Jehovah, and no other gods. That’s ironic, because Christians worship Jesus, who is not Jehovah. Christianity itself violates the Ten Commandments.Governor Landry claimed that it’s necessary to post the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom because the Ten Commandments are the foundation of American law. “If you want to respect the rule of law,” he said, “you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.”That’s a ridiculous claim, because the Constitution of the United States of America explicitly forbids any legislative act that establishes any religion in the law. That’s the opposite of the intention of the Ten Commandments, which aims to force people into religious worship.The Ten Commandments contains a prohibition of “graven images”, artwork that represents real things in the world. Here in the USA, the First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. Louisiana is going to be posting an anti-art message from the 10 Commandments in every public school art classroom in the state. Did Louisiana legislators even think about that?Furthermore, Moses was clearly not the original law giver. It’s ludicrous to suppose that before Moses came along, there were no laws anywhere in the world. Human societies had existed for at least 197,000 years before the fictional/legendary timeline attributed to Moses. People love rules. This episode of Stop Christian Nationalism contains an original song in the series Country Music Against Christian Nationalism. It's called Keep Your Commandments To Yourself, with the following lyrics:The Ten Commandments are not American. Keep your Commandments to yourself. The Ten Commandments are thousands of years old. Keep your Commandments to yourself. I don't want your creepy Christian preachers bothering my children. I don't want your pushy Christian preachers running through our schools. Keep your Commandments in your pants, Reverend. A school is not a church. Keep your Commandments to yourself. The Ten Commandments have nothing to do with our laws. Keep your Commandments to yourself. The Ten Commandments are ancient and irrelevant. Keep your Commandments to yourself. I don't want your creepy Christian preachers bothering my children. I don't want your pushy Christian preachers running through our schools. Keep your Commandments in your pants, Reverend. I do not send my kids to school to learn some superstitious imaginary history about spirits from the skies and laws against artistic freedom. What the heck, Louisiana? The more you push your old religion at us the more we walk away. The more you push Christian nonsense at us the more we walk away. Don't you get it? A school is not a church. I don't want your creepy Christian preachers bothering my children. What the heck is wrong with Louisiana? Keep your Commandments in your pants, Reverend.
