"'I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ ... If it would not be within God’s will to do so, stop him by any means necessary.'

Potteiger, by the way, is the beloved pastor of Secretary of Talking About War Pete Hegseth. Have a nice weekend."

"This has prompted various radio Pharisees and podcast Sadducees to declare that Talarico is not only a (shh!) Democrat, but also, perhaps, maybe the Antichrist his own self. …

Anyway, here are these two dudes, Joshua Haymes & Brooks Potteiger, praying for, ah, direct action to resolve the situation."

"James Talarico’s campaign for the Senate is breaking the tiny brains of the members of America’s evangelical for-profit ministry. Talarico has made a point that a lot of the whited sepulcher belongs to a form of Christianity that has dispensed with what Jesus reportedly said and did, according to the Gospels."

Turns out, Jesus has no political party. But don’t tell these guys that.

Lieben Dank für das Interesse & die dialogische Rückmeldung, @DieWespe 🙏

Unter dem Blogpost zum m.E. wichtigen Gespräch zwischen #JamesTalarico & #EzraKlein ist bereits ein intensiver Austausch entstanden.

Und ich hoffe, in Zukunft noch einmal extra zu Kirche und Staat, Religion und Politik bei #Talarico bloggen zu können. Er hat sich an anderer Stelle dazu einmal sehr ausführlich und vertieft geäußert. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/der-us-christdemokrat-james-talarico-texas-im-dialog-mit-nyt-blogger-ezra-klein/

@plinubius

Danke für Dein Interesse & sehr gerne.

Die presbyterianische #Kirche, zu der James #Talarico gehört, entstand v.a. aus Schottland und entfaltete eine größere Distanz gegenüber dem #Staat als die anglikanische oder katholische Kirche, gleichzeitig aber auch viel Engagement für reformatorische #Ökumene. Finde es ziemlich faszinierend, wie sich in den #USA derzeit Religion(en) und Zivilreligion(en) neu sortieren...

Die #Blogpost - Diskussion zu #JamesTalarico begeistert mich wegen des intensiven Interesses der Beteiligten. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/der-us-christdemokrat-james-talarico-texas-im-dialog-mit-nyt-blogger-ezra-klein/

Ganz herzlichen Dank, @Infojunkie22 🙏

Ich freue mich auch über das enorme Interesse an #JamesTalarico & nehme mir gerade etwas #Zeit, um mehrere, kluge Drukos dazu unter dem Blogpost zu beantworten.
