Organized religion poses an existential threat to humanity comparable to AI and global warming. I support the separation of church and state, and my ideal political candidate does not profess allegiance to any religious faith.
However, I support James Talarico who is running for the U.S Senate in Texas, in spite of the fact that he holds a Master of Arts in Theological Studies and is pursuing a Master of Divinity at the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary to become an ordained minister.
Talarico places his Christian faith at the center of his public identity and political career, but unlike evangelical Christians, he does not seek to transform our democracy into a white Christian nationalist theocracy. He believes that the Constitution and not the bible is the is the foundation of our democracy, and he is determined to make Texas a state where everyone regardless of ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion or lack thereof feels comfortable.
Robert Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Dallas, has a penchant for speaking from his ass. A diehard Trump supporter since 2015, Jeffress has declared the Democrat Party a “godless party,” and he even announced Democrats worship the Old Testament pagan god, Moloch.
The latest outburst emanating from Jeffress’ ass is his claim that Talarico is not a Christian. Jeffress declared that Talarico’s beliefs “disqualify him from being a Christian” after Talarico said that “God is nonbinary” and embodies both masculine and feminine traits.
Jesus himself declared that God is spirit; indeed, God is the epitome of a nonbinary being.
I would not place much stock in anything that Jeffress proclaims, after all this is the same asshole who thinks that the thrice married, twice impeached, pathological liar and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump is a great Christian.
