Jared Huffman, Representative for California, has declared a cry for "No Prophets" in America with the publication of his newest book. Is the fear of a Christian Nationalism takeover so strong that…
Congressman Huffman, of course, is not here to defend himself, but truthfully, he's made a very strong defense, not just in this article, but in a book he's written called No Profits, The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism.
So he's very far out there in the public domain and making a great amount of statements.
So we're going to be discussing today not the congressman's personality because we don't know him.
But there's other members of Congress who apparently believe as he believes, right? Yes, he has a caucus that he's assembled called the Free Thought Caucus.
And the Washington Post is quick to note that it has a few more members than the Freedom Caucus, which is supposedly the conservative.
So evidently, to the post, there's a competition going on about what worldview is going to control Congress.
And clearly, it appears that at least this author is very interested in Jared Huffman's worldview prevailing.
And given the fact that he walks away from this article, in my opinion, as sort of the victor, if you will, of a debate that's conducted inside the context of this journalistic piece, which really does read like an editorial debate, It appears that it would be safe to say that the editorial board of the Washington Post, which ultimately answers to Jeff Bezos and the baron of the, or the king of the Amazon empire, is endorsing this approach and approves of this article.
Because for someone who is representing himself as only one of two people who've ever come out as humanists in Congress, we can't say that there's a compelling national interest that this story should be represented.
Yes, No Profits, P-R-O-P-H-E-T-S, No Profits, The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism.
See, and I think right from the beginning, he's trying to troll Christians, like trying to get them fired up because he knows that the response is going to be, we are a republic, we're not a democracy.
So I think he's doing that just to throw, like, I think that's as intentional as intentional can be.
