Democrat Senate Nominee Says He ‘Hates Christianity’ In Old Interview With Transgender Theologian
Democrat Texas Senate nominee James Talarico described himself as “a Christian who hates Christianity” in a recently unearthed episode on the “Activist Theology” podcast.
“I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity,” Talarico said during his 2021 appearance on the podcast. “And, like, I always get drawn back into [Christianity] because nowhere else in no other political philosophy, in no other economic theory, do I find anything as truly radical or revolutionary as the teachings of that barefoot rabbi, right?”
The Democrat candidate joined the “Navigating Love & Legislature” episode to discuss “Texas, his theology, and how he’s called to govern during these times.”
