Case has to go green before it can go black, ya know?
Kandiss Taylor, the Republican chair of Georgiaâs 1st congressional district, said on her Jesus, Guns, & Babies show that âwe shouldnât be electing anyone in governmentâŚwho isnât Christian.â
Taylor hosts the conservative Christian program that promotes conspiracy theories and inaccurate information. She ran in the Georgia Republican gubernatorial primary in 2022, losing to Governor Brian Kemp after receiving only 3.4 percent of the vote.
In the episode streamed on Rumble on August 17, she told Erik Corcoran, founder of Businesses for Liberty, that âThe Constitution is founded on common law; common law comes out of the Bible,â adding that the entire premise of the United Statesâ governing rules and structure is related to Jesus and God.
âYou canât separate the two,â she said of common law and the Bible. She continued: âThe idea behind the whole document was that the church runs the state. The church and we the people. We are the churchâŚand so we run the state. But the state, the government, has no control over the church.â
I feel like a cursory glance at the Constitution and the history of the United States would show that this wasnât true and isnât true.
Taylor added, âAnd everybody is like, âThen you gotta let Satanists come in, and you gotta let witches come in, and youâve gotta let Muslims and Hindus.â No, no, we donât. No, we donât because America is founded on God Almighty, Creator God, Yahweh, Elohim.â
âThat is what weâre founded on, and I donât have to honor your religion. I donât have to give you âfreedomâ of religion. Freedom of religion is there for us to worship Jesus. Itâs not for you to come force anything else upon me,â she said.
Back to how religious conservatives define âfreedom of religionâ. Yes the US gives you the freedom to worship, but by freedom to worship, we mean worship how we want.
Right Wing Watch posted the clip of the interview on X, formerly Twitter, which Taylor reposted, saying, âcompletely out of context, but I said what I said.â
Sorry, but not sorry

I saw a lot of his signs last weekend, more than any other than trump. 3 hours out of the cities, of course.
Huh?
That seems weird and would make a great campaign ad, substituting republican for christianâŚ
Do we know which churches are against IVF? Guessing Harrison Butkerâs psycho regressive Catholic Church is. What about garden variety evangelicals?
You can basically always assume that, on any issue, no matter how regressive or barbaric the Roman Catholic church may seem, any church branded as either Southern Baptist or non-demoninational âevangelicalâ (this excepts the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, which is fairly progressive) is even more so.

Iâm talking about Latin Mass, the super regressive brand of Catholicism that Harrison Butker subscribes to. Itâs very different than vanilla Catholicism.
OK, but the mainstream Roman Catholic church is against IVF, also. I thought thatâs what you were talking about, because I thought it was pretty common knowledge that the Catholic church was against it.
In contrast, Tim Walz is part of the ELCA, and theyâre fine with IVF, gay marriage, and gay ordination.
Okay, didnât know that. But I meant are normal evangelicals against it? Like typical Trumpers.
