This clip was yanked from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert because Trumpian sycophants did not care at all for James Talarico’s lefty message, criticism of the Christian Right, and opposition to the Republican scumbags of Texas. So I’m doing my small part to disseminate it further.
My opinion: he’s fine, but I’m sick of all the pandering to non-right-wing Christians. Maybe it’s too far for Texas, but I’d rather see a forthrightly secular candidate just dismiss all the imaginary saintliness of the Christian faith. It’s never been this idealized “love your neighbor” belief that they preach.
I’m donating to Jasmine Crockett, who’s far more experienced.
I would hesitate to say it’s never been the “love your neighbor” religion, but it’s never been a required position. Yet, I was thinking the last few days how much better the world would be if all religions just disappeared, evaporated into the thin air they emerged from. None of them are worth the pain they cause individuals or human society as a whole.
