We know that Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has some issues about which he's near-religious, such as providing gender-affirming care to minors. But what do we know about Walz's religion? Not much, as a reporter asked him about it, and he replied that he and his wife Gwen were Lutherans, and Lutherans don't talk much about their religion.

Really? Is that a Lutheran thing?
Yeah, Martin Luther was famously reticent about discussing his views on religion. https://t.co/L3rAU55nKT

That actually got a chuckle out of me.

In other words, next question.
Much in the same way that Texans don't talk about Texas much and Crossfitters don't talk about Crossfit much and vegans don't talk about veganism much and people who went to Harvard never mention it.

He should have just said, mind your own damn business.
LOL! My Lutheran church has a separate evening Bible class for our theologicaly minded members. Anyone can come, but it's a much more detailed and in depth class than the average one. And it keeps growing.

That’s an insult to Lutherans. I know many good strong conservative Lutherans

Luther posted 95 Theses right there on the church house door.

He had plenty to say. If Walz wants to speak as a *Lutheran* this is a bad take. Meek submission to Imperial distaste for faithful protest is not our way.
No, you’re a communist. They don’t talk much about it either.

He's probably ELCA Lutheran and thus his religion is basically Marxism dressed up in the skinsuit of Christianity.

What? That is about an “un-Lutheran” statement one can make. Isn’t he ELCA? They definitely aren’t Lutheran.

Yes, I remember from confirmation class that one of @martinluther's 95 thesis famouly said, "Talk not of your religion in public"@lutherinsulter pic.twitter.com/kWd70wRvwS

This is absolutely how Minnesotan Lutherans are.

It isn't to their credit.
But he was able to quote a bible verse just the other day.

Everything about Stolen Valor Walz is fake.
Just as I thought, he’ll invoke scripture to win a debate but the moment it’s brought up anywhere else, it’s “none of your business” or “we don’t talk about it much.”

He did bring up Matthew 25:40 during the debate when talking about migrants: "To the least amongst us, you do unto me."
Talked about it enough to quote a bible verse during a debate. And oh it was so nice to see the leftists on MSNBC gushing over it. Jen Psaki: "I love that he quoted the bible".
— PoliticalRedPill 💊 (@PunditOfPundits) October 3, 2024
These people are the definition of disingenuous.
Jen Psaki loved that he quoted the Bible? Where are the screams of separation of church and state?
Except during a debate if I think it would help make me more electable
