There are a lot of evangelicals on this website who seem to strongly believe that no person can disagree with them on cultural issues and also be a decent person. This is the mirror image of the hyper-woke left, which also rejects the idea that decent people can disagree. 1/3

Texas Democrat James Talarico in 2024: "Most Americans, and I'm talking 90-95%, do not believe that an embryo is a legal person. Now, the embryo is biologically alive. That is certainly true. But being alive and being a person are two different things."

Whenever I hear a Christian or any religious person share a testimony about how God came through for them, I often point out something they rarely consider. For every story they share about divine intervention, there are hundreds of similar situations where the same outcome happened to people who do not believe in God at all. The result occurred simply through natural circumstances, probability, or the actions of other people. If a believer attributes their positive outcome to God, how then do they explain the identical outcomes experienced by non-believers who never prayed or expected divine help? What explains those cases? This is usually where the conversation becomes quiet, because it raises an uncomfortable question about whether we sometimes interpret ordinary events as miracles simply because we already believe they must be. Human beings naturally look for meaning and patterns, especially in moments of relief or success. But that tendency can sometimes lead us to credit supernatural causes for events that might just be the result of chance, circumstance, or human effort.

David French failed to explain in his entire piece how Talarico is actually *acting* like a Christian. He did not cite a single example about Talarico acting like a Christian. This was the biggest fallacy in the entire thing. And the biggest proof he is just writing for the audience of the New York Times now.

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.
