The left's war on Christianity has reached a new low of absurdity, as Texas Democrats and their media allies are manufacturing outrage over what any Sunday school student would recognize as a basic salvation metaphor.
State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District), being groomed as the Democrats' "Great White Hope" to flip a Texas Senate seat blue, found himself at the center of a manufactured controversy when leftists completely misunderstood a biblical reference about spiritual death and rebirth.
The incident perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with today's secular progressive movement - they're so removed from America's Christian heritage that they literally don't understand the most basic tenets of faith that our nation was built upon.
Biblical Illiteracy Exposed
What makes this even more embarrassing for the left is that Talarico himself should have immediately corrected the record. Instead, Democrats and their media lapdogs ran with a narrative that exposes their stunning ignorance of Christian doctrine.
Any believer knows that being "dead in sin" and needing to "die to self" are fundamental concepts in Christianity. The Apostle Paul wrote extensively about dying to our old nature and being reborn in Christ. But apparently, that's too complex for the party that thinks there are 57 genders.
"This is what happens when you have a generation of politicians who are completely disconnected from the faith traditions that built America," said one Texas GOP strategist.
This manufactured outrage reveals the left's desperation to find any ammunition against conservatives, even if it means exposing their own biblical illiteracy in the process.
Democrats' Texas Delusions
The fact that Democrats are pinning their hopes on flipping Texas on someone who can't even handle a basic theological discussion shows just how out of touch they are with Lone Star State voters.
Texas remains solidly red because Texans understand the difference between genuine faith and political theater. They can spot a fake controversy from a mile away, especially one that demonstrates such profound ignorance of Christian beliefs.
How can Democrats expect to win over Texas voters when they don't even understand the basic vocabulary of faith that most Texans speak fluently?
