Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock, and Who Catholic Integralists Blame Liberalism On
Manage episode 346655687 series 3056251
From what I’m reading, Republican control of the U.S. Senate may be decided in the Georgia run-off next month between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker. Curious to know more about how that could go, either way, I watched the debate between Warnock and Walker, and was struck by one exchange in particular.
Warnock, who pastors at Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Martin Luther King, Jr. also co-pastored back in the day, says women should have the right to choose abortion because "even God gave Adam and Eve the ability to choose."
To that, Walker replied that we need to read the rest of the book to learn that God told us to choose life.
This, then, brings us back again to the question of what "Christian nationalism" is. And you can check out this CT article from last year by Paul D. Miller for more on why I can't quite take it seriously. Or, by contrast, read also this piece by William Galston from November 4th.
The long and short of it is that all folks like me really want politically is the freedom to be heard when we counter the likes of Raphael Warnock with "it is written," preferably without being called Nazis for doing so.
