Jesse Kelly of “The First” and author and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey discussed the left’s exploitation of Christianity.
The video opens with Texas Congressional Candidate James Talarico using communist tactics, talking about Christianity and scripture to manipulate conservatives and Christians.
Talarico made the claim that “America is not a Christian nation.”
“James Talarico’s problems are going well beyond the poll numbers here in Texas. A man who has campaigned exclusively on manipulating the Word of God to tell people that Jesus wouldn’t want you to read the Ten Commandments and he would love for you to have an abortion,” Kelly said.
“The guy is not gonna win an election. I’m not sure he is gonna get out of his primary, but my goodness, is that the least of his concerns. He is playing with fire,” Kelly said.
“So true. I mean in more ways than one. To say, there are so many issues. There are so many ways that I could address this. I mean, first of all the last thing he said America is not a Christian nation,” Stuckey said.
Stuckey explained that the Bible has been a defining influence on American culture. Christianity has benefited the West, even for those who don’t believe in the Bible or who are not Christians themselves. Our freedoms and way of life in the Western world are largely possible because of the Bible and Christianity.
“You can’t understand Western civilization. You can’t understand the foundation of America, the history of the United States, without understanding the Ten Commandments, without understanding basic Biblical principles,” Stuckey said.
“Whether or not you believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, understanding it as the most influential piece of literature, and Jesus as the central figure in all of history was necessary to understanding the world around us in the country that we live in,” Stuckey continued.
“That’s just an anti-education, anti-history take that he has there,” Stuckey explained of Talarico’s statements.
Kelly went on to explain that a lot of people take for granted the American way of life and the freedom that they have.
“I think a lot of people, no matter what their belief system is, a lot of people do not appreciate how wonderful we have it because we do have a Christian-based society started by Christians. They just don’t appreciate it because that is all they have ever known,” Kelly said.
“We look across at the pond and the way women are treated like cattle and the way that everything is stolen all the time, and we look at them as barbarians, and they certainly are, but we don’t fully appreciate why that doesn’t take place here,” Kelly continued.
