BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): Mary. Mother Mary. The -- I -- like, I fear even playing these kind of clips. I feel like we'll, like, curse the show by playing such blasphemous clips such as this, making the abortion argument using mother Mary. This is the Democrat candidate for Texas senate. Here we go.
...
JOHNSON: The most brutal that Christ was -- you could -- this could be argued. But the way that I read the gospels, and I just read the gospels as a simple Christian, the most brutal and forceful and, like, kind of scary that Christ was other than flipping tables in the temple, and we're not exactly sure what he said there exactly through all that, but we know what he said about harming children, harming innocent children. Let those innocent children come unto me, he says. Harm a hair on their heads, and it's better if you take a giant boulder and just commit suicide in the ocean, like, let the boulder crush you down to the bottom of the sea. So for you to sit there and to use Christ's virgin mother, Mary, the holy mother that God chose as the vessel for his son to come into this world as an argument for abortion is heresy, is blasphemous. He's on The Joe Rogan Show.
I mean, I'm so surprised there wasn't a lightning strike. It's some of the worst stuff I've ever heard. I mean, it's not only bad theology. It's, like, straight up demonic.
