Hatred of Christians and lies and it's just hate by a professor, Rachel Mikva, Chicago Theological Seminary.
This is the hatred that they teach there, apparently.
And she's welcome to come on the show.
In fact, any five people at the same time from the Chicago Theological Seminary to defend the lies, attacks, bigotry, Prejudice and hate in this woman's article.
So, I'm on in Chicago.
Somebody pass the word to the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Your name has been sullied by this Rachel Mikva.
Okay?
If you don't disown this article, your Chicago Theological Seminary looks bad.
Really, really bad.
I'm sorry?
They promoted it on their website?
Okay, there you go.
So it's a hate organization.
If you want to list a hate organization, it's the Chicago Theological Seminary for putting up this piece of anger and lies.
God almighty.
The audacity, the lieutenant governor of Dan Patrick of Texas.
That elected officials should look to Scripture when making policy, quote, because every problem we have in America has a solution in the Bible.
Gee, I pretty much believe that, too.
People follow the biblical values.
We have a much better society.
For example, people would more likely have fathers in their lives because the Bible promotes marriage.
Next example.
Oh, they already did that one, yes.
So, they quote this Christian nationalism, which is dativism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and heteronormativity.
Along with divine sanction for authoritarian control and militarism.
So she quotes a left-wing hate book to prove her point.
Isn't that awesome?
This goes for scholarship at the Chicago Theological Seminary.
The agenda is not always explicit.
When Senator Ted Cruz talks of restoring America, he means to recover what he believes is its original identity as a Christian nation.
Historian, first of all...
Christians that I know always say Judeo-Christian, just for the record.
But even if they want to say Christian, why do I care?
Happens to be Christians founded this country, the freest country, and if she's a Jew, which I assume she is, she should be sending flowers to these people for making the best society Jews have ever lived in.
I taught Jewish history at the Brooklyn College, written books on it.
I don't know if I know more than her about Jewish history, but I suspect we're at least tied.
I certainly know more about Judaism than she does.
When Senator Ted Cruz talks of restoring America, he means to recover what he believes it's his original identity as a Christian.
We've really done well as a secular place, haven't we?
Just for the record.
Right?
I mean, it's just been terrific.
The people who have no God or religion in their lives, they're just a happier bunch of people.
There are no consequences to the death of Christianity.
This is the fools at the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Why do they call themselves a seminary?
It's such a joke.
Really, it's a joke when you think about it.
It's a secular seminary in the guise of a religious seminary.
Historian John Fee argues that Cruz's outlook reflects the Seven Mountains dominionism of his father.
I know his father, by the way.
One of the sweetest human beings I've ever had the honor of knowing.
A conviction that Christians are called by God to exercise dominion over every aspect of society.
Wait a minute.
Don't they want the left to have dominion over every aspect of society?
Why is it kosher for the left?
While Cruz is too politically savvy to endorse Dominion theology outright, he uses code words...
Are you ready for...
This is the perverse article that this is.
Cruz is too politically savvy to endorse Dominion theology, so he uses code words like religious liberty.
That's a code word!
Religious liberty is a code word!
For dominion theology.
Oh my god.
Every paragraph has a lie in it.

He argued that Christians must use the doctrine of religious liberty to advance their agenda, hoping to raise up children, quote, who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government.
Anyway, I don't know who he is, so we're going to go on.
I do not wish to emulate QAnon enthusiasts in projecting a deep state conspiracy.
But there are Christian nationalists embedded throughout our governing institutions.
Did you know that?
But she doesn't believe in the conspiracy theory like QAnon.
courts, military, legislatures, agencies, police.
Many are regular figures at the Capitol and in the halls of power.
Distracted by those ready to bring on the apocalypse, we have not adequately exposed this more resilient threat to religious pluralism in the United States.
Do you have any idea what she's talking about?
Most people have never heard of Project Blitz, for example.
I'm one of them.
I admit it.
But it was responsible for at least 75 bills in 2018 that advance Christian nationalism.
They have a playbook developed by the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation with model legislation designed to privilege, quote, traditional Judeo-Christian religious values and beliefs in the public sphere.
I'm all for that.
I would love to have traditional Judeo-Christian religious values and beliefs in the public square.
