Christians, according to Talarico, are ‘Christofascists’ who are practicing “Christofascism”.
Christianity is far more violent than Islam, according to him, and has caused far more damage to Islam than the other way around.
“Christianity is Season 2, and Islam is Season 3,” he told the New Yorker. “I’m Season 2—the most violent season. My religion has done more damage to both of those religions than they’ve done to each other.”
And, beyond that, all religions are basically the same and Islam is just as true as Christianity. “I always think of all the world’s faith traditions as a circle, with that divine mystery of the universe in the middle. We all have different names for that mystery, whether it’s God or Allah or Nirvana or Great Spirit. Whatever you call it, this is all different pathways to the same fundamental truth.”

It’s also difficult to figure him for saying that stupid as well.

Because acting like you’re going to win comfortably is a great way to lose. Ask Ted Cruz how that works. He thought he was going to comfortably cruise to relection last time but he had to get Trump to come down and bail him out because he discovered that he was going to lose badly.
There are no safe seats any more.
You must campaign like you are fifteen points down at all times.
You cannot take anything for granted.
And, especially in this case, you must win *convincingly* because if the Dem gets even vaguely close, the margin of cheating will get them over the line.
What a bunch of tripe.
Philippians 2:10-11: “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”
There is only ONE TRUTH, AND ONE PATH TO IT. All others lead.....elsewhere.
hey James, F-you
Maybe I should have included the sarc tag.
That clown is becoming quite scary.
Why Banned Books at Church?
Our library at St. Andrew's is home to a number of banned books, from picture books to young adult novels. We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice...common themes…particular experiences and identities being censored.
As a church, we feel it's important to make these books available to the community. One of our core values as a progressive Christian community is to, “strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.” Reading stories written by people with identities and life experiences different from our own helps us shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people. We can also find parts of ourselves in these stories, which helps us grow into the fullness of our being. Children, teens, young adults, and older adults can find affirmation in the books they read. Sometimes, stories even shine light on hidden and painful experiences letting readers know they are not alone.
As progressive Christians, we are committed to a path of life-long learning. We can't keep growing if we close our minds and shut out different ways of being in, experiencing, and understanding the world. Caring for the stories in banned books is one small, but important way of proclaiming our love for everyone, everywhere, all the time. Let's read and celebrate banned books together!
