Paxton (who hasn't done well living the 10 Commandments lately) apparently doesn't realize the law requires a text not found in any Bible. It's not the 10 Commandments but a gerrymandered distortion of the sacred text:

Department of Homeland Security claims they're protecting houses of worship. But they should listen to faith leaders as religious group have filed multiple lawsuits against DHS (. Faith leaders say DHS is who they need protection from!.

We are PROTECTING our places of worship by preventing criminal aliens and gang members from exploiting these locations and taking safe haven there. These criminals knew law enforcement couldn’t go inside under the Biden administration. DHS’s directive gives our law enforcement

A new children's Bible story book features an AI-generated voice of Trump telling the story of Noah's ark. Sadly, I'm not making that up. I received a review copy, so here's my look at it: .

James Dobson has died: There's probably no figure who more represents my move from whitewashed tomb world of conservative evangelicalism. I was brought up on his work & thought we were conserv Christians since character matters. Trump proved Dobson a fraud.

Trump says Missouri will hold special session for gerrymandering. @GovMikeKehoe hasn't yet announced it. Some GOPers pushed this proposal 3 years ago as holy mission. Such gerrymandering of Bible is opening story of my new book on #ChristianNationalism:

With judge ruling against Texas law pushing "10 Commandments" in schools, would be good for news to note bill's version isn't found in any Bible. Lawmakers gerrymandered text: They kept yellow parts, deleted red & added green. Don't let gov't rewrite Bible

Judge blocks Texas bill requiring posting of highly edited version of 10 Commandments in public schools: Similar to rulings in Louisiana & Arkansas. Good to see. Gov't shouldn't rewrite Bible & force faith on students:

Good @RNS piece today by @fiona_ndre on DHS misusing Bible verses to promote ICE. Important to cover. I wrote about this problem last month (. Also, DoD is similarly co-opting Scripture (.

Trump says he wants Russia-Ukraine peace deal so he can go to Heaven. Putting aside theological issues about earning entry into Heaven, if it motivates Trump, what else can we get him to work on?.

Hopefully @DanPatrick will back away from his attack on religious liberty. Demanding people stand during prayer is an assault on individual freedoms.

Texas Lt. Gov. demands people stand for legislative prayer or be removed (. Would be great to see some Texas clergy go to statehouse & sit during prayer to protest such #ChristianNationalism. Dare Lt. Gov. to toss clergy for their prayer practices! #txlege.
