We have written earlier than about how two Democrat Senate nominees are testing the waters to see how far their “progressive Christianity” can take them in purple states the place conventional Christian values on issues of household and religion could be the distinction between a profitable and dropping marketing campaign.
One among them is Kansas Democrat nominee Adam Hamilton, the senior pastor of the Church of the Resurrection, a United Methodist Church (UMC). A few of Hamilton’s unearthed sermons are actual doozies, just like the one the place he prompt congregants wanted to be “repentant” for his or her supposed contributions to local weather change as meat-loving Kansans who like to drive. He is additionally been instrumental in pulling the UMC to the left on LGBTQ points.
The opposite one is Texas Democrat nominee James Talarico, who, as RedState has extensively documented, has been making wacky, supposedly “biblically based mostly” assertions about political issues for years as a state consultant. “After I tackle the politicians who’re serving themselves and never the folks, I’m doing it on biblical grounds,” Talarico not too long ago (and falsely) proclaimed.
Abortion, although, is one challenge that Talarico has beforehand (and wrongly) asserted the Bible is “silent” on. The absurd assertion has been resoundingly debunked, which we reported right here, however Talarico continues to make the declare, as we noticed throughout a CNN city corridor Wednesday night time, which was held within the Lone Star State.
Watch this clip, the place not solely does the purported Presbyterian seminarian repeat the lie, however he additionally tries to persuade an orthodox Catholic Texas voter to seek out frequent floor with him on contraception. Absolutely the nerve of this man:
Texas voter Jody Hunt: In the event you can’t present insurance policies that shield probably the most harmless amongst us, the unborn little one, how can we belief that you’ll shield the remainder of Texans? TALARICO: “We’re each Christians, and the Bible is silent on abortion.” IS THIS TRUE??? https://t.co/UWaiVX1xWj

Survey says… NOPE. And Ms. Hunt, who can be a distinguished theology professor, busted him over it in what, in a good and simply world, needs to be the start of the top of his marketing campaign:
“I simply wish to add that the Bible isn’t silent on abortion. There may be the ten Commandments: ‘Thou shall not kill,’” Hunt shot again.
She added, “And as Catholics, we take nice insult, I suppose typically, when it’s described that means.”
Hunt additional famous that Talarico’s name for increasing entry to contraception and what he described as “age-appropriate intercourse training” is a “very making an attempt factor” for Catholics.
WOW
Texas voter and precise Christian CLAPS BACK

That, associates, is the way it’s carried out. No-nonsense. Texas-style. Now Texas voters must do their factor on the poll field and maintain the state purple – and Talarico out of Washington, D.C.
