A clip of Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico offering a bizarre prayer while delivering an invocation on the House floor in 2021 has resurfaced where he referenced Hinduism, Islam, and more while attempting to acknowledge the names of the one true God and His son Jesus, ending his prayer in “all your many names.”
“Let us pray. Holy Mystery, you have so many names,” Talarico said in the prayer before referencing a long list of other religious beliefs and their names for God, seemingly offering a universalist view of the One True God, the great I Am.
“The Torah calls you Creator. The Koran calls you Peace. The Gita calls you Destroyer. The Dharma calls you Truth, and the First Epistle of John calls you perhaps the most beautiful name of all, Love,” he said, referencing texts outside of the Bible.

They have great hair. Unlike Ron Desantis.
Ugh.
I went to a dance recital where the invocation was like that. I sat perfectly still, closed my eyes, and meditated upon the Name Above All Names.
And I didn’t say “Amen” at the end of that blasphemous “prayer”. Maybe this will open the eyes of a few Christians who thought this guy was “One of Us”.
Or maybe not. (sigh)

Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness.
Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body,
I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit.
I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony.
Amen.

late husband LOVED Roger Zelazny!
Thanks for that little memory. 🥰
I spell “Sodomy” with a capital-S because it it the name of a religion.
Talarico’s heretical antics are enough to make any Presbyterian convert to Orthodoxy!
Evil can find avenues to come onto our physical plane. I see more and more examples of demonic in the Dem and Socialist leaders and followers year by year. Stalin and Mao and their followers and now the evil Left in our country. Self proclaimed witches are casting spells against Donald Trump and his supporters—since 2016. Churches and synagogues are defiled and subjected to attempted arson.
Biden and Pelosi got away with mocking God as they championed abortions and euthanasia-—and were patted on the back as they were allowed communion by the Catholic Church.
Now a pagan masquerading as a Christian—Talarico—wants to flaunt his personal religious heresy as being cozy and ecumenical and tolerant of all beliefs-—as he works to undermine the one true God on earth.
One of the true tests of someone being irreligious is that they think “All roads lead to the same place” or “All religions basically teach the same thing.” No true believer of ANY religion thinks that way. His statement would be just as blasphemous to Muslim as to a Christian or a Buddhist.

That creep has really bad “cult leader” vibes.
He is completely under demonic influence.
This guy has as much of a chance of getting elected in Texas as the Pope has being elected the next Southern Baptist President.
“Biden and Pelosi got away with mocking God as they championed abortions and euthanasia-—and were patted on the back as they were allowed communion by the Catholic Church.”

And is it any wonder, with Bergoglio and now Prevost?
