Summary

This quote highlights the irony perceived by the speaker regarding the Christian desire to maintain the Ten Commandments in schools. They argue that Christianity itself has nullified or invalidated four of these commandments. The example given is the Sabbath day, which traditionally falls on Saturday according to the Ten Commandments. The speaker suggests that because Sunday holds significance in Christianity due to Jesus' resurrection, it contradicts the original commandment rooted in God's rest on Saturday. Hence, they perceive a contradiction between Christian practices and the religious rules they seek to uphold in educational settings.
