Thom Hartmann just said that he's a Christian.

[onehandle]

And is talking about the richness and value of the world's religions.

Comments?

On edit:
I knew this and have heard it before. I'm fine with it.
I just haven't seen it brought up at DU for a while and was wondering how many others knew this.

1. Um.... what? This isn't news.... ?

[LisaM]

2. He's said it frequently over the years I've been listening to his show

it's nothing new.

3. Thom is very Christian

in that he is a believer in the words of Jesus the Christ. if all who called themselves "Christian" were like Thom, we would live in a much, much better world.

4. Cheez-Its are way better than Cheese Nips.

that's my comment.

[LisaM]

12. You are so right

Sometimes I wonder why the Cheese Nip people even bother.

[Political Heretic]

15. That may be the lone absolute truth

:D

[eShirl]

5. Did he say what, if any, brand?

[hlthe2b]

6. Yeah... so? He's never made secret that he is Christian

What's the point?

[Ilsa]

7. I didn't know, but it doesn't surprise me. He's one of the good guys.

There are lots of deeply devoted Christians that are good liberals.

[JDPriestly]

14. Like, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, and on and on, many, many.

Then, of course, there is Jesus who was about as liberal for his time as anyone could be. He actually advised people to help those of other tribes. Jesus advised people to be good human beings and not to just follow religious rules. You can't get more liberal than that -- correct conduct rather than strict adherence to rules.

[Cant trust em]

8. He's Christian! Fuck that. I'm never listening to his show again.

I'm just kidding. This doesn't affect me at all.

[LLStarks]

9. So? n/m

10. What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

I don't happen to care one whit about his inner spiritual life. Bully for him.

[Stuckinthebush]

11. Does he like pie?

Is he a Pie eatin' Christian?

[JDPriestly]

13. Thom Hartmann is quite devout. So . . . . . . . . .

He is not a fanatic in any direction.

[chknltl]

16. OMG Thom owns/is owned by a cat!

Sorry mods, not trying to hijack this thread with an equally earth shaking revelation but someone had to say it.

[me b zola]

17. Comment:: So what?

:shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

18. I wonder if he's a Christian as in: "I admire and attempt to follow the teachings of Jesus"

or if he goes a step farther and believes that Jesus was divine, was killed, came back from the dead, and is going to come back again. To me that is a huge leap (of faith, ba da boom).

[Sanctified]

19. Well if Jesus was not Divine then he was the biggest asshole this world has ever seen. n/t

Just saying as a person who believes Jesus was Divine.
