Is this called buffet-style religion?
Lauren Boebert, whose teen son got his girlfriend pregnant, says she doesn't want to 'nitpick what the Bible says is right and wrong'
In a Thursday interview on "The Rubin Report," a conservative political talk show, host Dave Rubin asked Boebert if her son getting his girlfriend pregnant "challenged" any of her beliefs.
"Obviously, I'm a Christian, and there are standards that we like to uphold, but none of us do it perfectly," she told Rubin. "We can nitpick what the Bible says is right and wrong, but I think just having that heart posture of wanting to serve God, it's so important."
Boebert added that she plans to teach her son "about redemption and how to move forward."
Boebert was a teen mother herself. She began working at McDonald's when she was 15, and dropped out of high school in 2004 when she became pregnant with her then-boyfriend Jayson Boebert's child. She later married him, and they now have four children together.
The congresswoman has been vocal about her religious views, often invoking God when talking about politics.
In an address at a Christian center in Colorado in June, Boebert said she was "tired" of the separation of church and state, and added that the church should "direct the government."
In February, she also suggested without evidence or substantiation that God used her to stand up to "demons" such as Rep. Kevin McCarthy.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
