Which of the Ten Commandments do Republican Christians actually believe in?

They certainly don't believe in:

“Thou shalt not kill.”
“Thou shalt not steal.”
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.”

They are "false prophets"

The only thing they do is "Keep the Sabbath Holy" because most of them go to church...

But why are they at church? So they can keep their false prophesy charged up...

Twice in the commandments, coveting is mentioned; the subject must be important.

For humans, it's kinda like the 'tree of knowledge', something to get; maybe coveting is too good to give up.

So, giving up all the commandments covers the personal selfishness of coveting.

The story of the 'garden of Eden' is the story of having it all (paradise) and wanting more (the apple).
It is a story of desire for shinny temporal things rather than permanence.

He doesn’t just break them. He’s run over them, backed up and then spun his wheels on them. He’s no ordinary sinner and doesn’t even believe in redemption. I’ll never understand why people think he’s a man of faith.
