Texas Sen. Candidate Tells the Truth: Atheists are more Christ-like than Christians

American "Christians" believe in competition and the laws of the jungle. They are Darwinian to the bone, but reject Darwin's Law of Evolution by Natural Selection. But one of Christ's main teachings is counter to Darwinian principles: Do nor pursue money and wealth (Evangelicals do love money and wealth). Keep politics separate from religion (Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's), but Evangelical pseudo-Christian criminals, like their Muslim Taliban or Iranian Mullah counterparts, want religion to superseed and manage politics. Love your enemy, says Christ. Hate your enemy say the Evangelical barbarians. And so on and so forth. Love the poor, the stranger and the destitute, says Christ; Hate the poor, the migrant and the destitute, say the American Evangelical Christians.

So, when a Texas Senate candidate says that people from other religions and people without religion are better "Christians" than those who claim to be Christian, he's onto something. Religion did not discover ethics and morality. In fact, religion was - and still is - more often than not used against ethics and morality. The human species discovered the "Golden Rule" long before the emergence of religions in human societies: Humans discovered that "cooperation" is a better formula for survival than warmongering, violence and plunder and mayhem. The only reason the human species has been so successful is because of cooperation and living together, the hallmarks of all morality and ethics.

I don't need God, Allah, Dieu, Gott, Dios...or whatever the name of the Big Zombie in the Sky is to understand the basis of all human morality: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

American Christians are Christian only in name. Don't believe them. Believe what your heart and your mind tell you.

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is being praised for his courageous comments on God and faith after saying on a podcast that atheists are "more Christ-like than" some of his Christian colleagues in the Texas House. Naturally, the barbarian fake Christian conservatives and white supremacists are not happy. Like their Muslim counterparts of the Taliban or the Iranian Mullahs, they cannot accept dissent from the pernicious religious dogmas they want to impose on people in order to maintain their control of the "herds".

"Instead of putting the 10 Commandments in every classroom, instead of forcing school children to read the Bible against their wills, why don't we, all of us, look inward and figure out how we can be more Christ-like, even when it's uncomfortable," Talarico, a Democrat in the Texas House, said on the "Politics War Room" podcast published Friday. The podcast is hosted by journalist Al Hunt and Democratic strategist James Carville.

"I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico said. "It is about how you treat other people."

The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator by unseating Republican Sen. John Cornyn. "There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue.

Talarico is a former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian. He says he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives. "Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right?

"These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor."

His remarks were welcomed by large swaths of American citizens who feel oppressed by the obscurantist resurgence of Trump's ultra-religious barbarians who are Christian in name only, but have nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Most Americans can tell a phoney from a genuine human being. Unfortunately, an ignorant illiterate segment of Americans have fallen for the lies and the bigotry, and were instrumental in bringing the fake Christian criminal and cheater Donald Dumb to power.

Talarico has a long history of speaking the truth about God, Jesus, Christianity and religion in general. He's an educated Christian seminarian and he knows more about Chrustianity than any of the criminal Evangelical bigots who take offense at his telling the truth.

State Rep. James Talarico, a Democrat from Texas and U.S. Senate candidate, joined Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2025, where he also claimed the Bible permits abortion.

In an interview with a New York Times podcast in January, Talarico said that his Christian faith has grown "by learning more about Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism," adding that "these beautiful faith traditions are circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos. And that truth is inherently a mystery. He is still entrenched in the cocoon of religious supersititions, but he has taken a major step toward liberating the poor MAGA morons from the grip of Evangelical oppression and control. We need him to liberate backward Texas from the jail of ultra-barbarian religion.
