Talarico Suggests Politics is a Religion

State Rep. James Talarico (D-Round Rock) delivered the invocation to open chamber proceedings in the Texas House on Wednesday March 25, 2021. His controversial prayer, which seemed to some as a political speech as opposed to a spiritual prayer, was not well received from many Texans around the state.

I fully support separation of church and state. However I know it hasn't been happening and if I have to choose anything, I would choose this. This is a beautiful prayer. Thankyou for saying this. I've already listened to this 10x today.

The fact that people are getting angry at this is very telling

I'm an atheist but that is a prayer that half makes believe that religion can possibly be a force for good in the world.

That was a beautiful prayer, thank you!

Jesus Christ IS the way, the truth and the life. As he clearly told his disciples, no one comes to the Father except through him.

No multi-named MYSTERY there!

Rep. James Talarico was praying to Legion. May Christ have mercy on his soul and deliver him by God's grace from such a depraved apostacy.

Seems like he is praying to the God of the one world religion and speaking about building the “new world”. If this isn’t end times prophecy playing out then I don’t know what is.
