This comes up from time to time, but Erick Erickson has some really weird religious beliefs. I guess they are kind of consistent with the cosmology and theology of Christianity, but they’re basically unreconstructed from the 16th Century. I don’t really care what people choose to believe about heaven and hell and the last judgment, but it’s a liability in politics to be going around telling everyone who has unapproved sex that they’re going to suffer everlasting torments as punishment from God.
If pols want to cuddle up to Erickson, there is going to be a price associated with that.
