Tucker Carlson’s Theology is a Dumpster Fire

Tucker Carlson—the silver-tongued sage of cable news turned podcaster—can eviscerate a politician’s hypocrisy with a single raised eyebrow. We’ve cheered his political broadsides, nodded through his takedowns of woke absurdities, and admired his knack for exposing elite corruption.

He’s good…really good at that.
And I like the guy, so don’t take this as a denunciation of him. It isn’t.

But when Tucker trades his political sword for a theological one, he swings with all the grace of a toddler in a china shop. His latest foray into spiritual speculation—tossing around phrases like “Immaculate Conception” and “spirit reproduction”—is not just wrong. It’s a theological train wreck. It’s a stew of pagan myth, Gnostic confusion, and conspiracy-laced mysticism.

Tucker, stick to politics. The Church doesn’t need your mystical cogitations obscuring the waters of the Christian faith.

Let’s start with the wreckage. In an interview, Tucker said that “supernatural beings take physical form” and “reproduce with people,” citing—brace yourself—Jesus and the “Immaculate Conception” as proof.

Wrong.

First, the “Immaculate Conception is not about Jesus at all. It’s a Roman Catholic heresy teaching that Mary was conceived without original sin. The Incarnation is the biblical truth that the eternal Son of God took on human flesh through the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35).

These are not the same thing, Tucker. Confusing them is like mistaking the Constitution for a cookbook. It’s not a small slip—it’s a category error that betrays a deep ignorance of the faith he presumes to explain.

But Tucker doesn’t stop there. He doubles down, portraying the Holy Spirit as some kind of cosmic suitor in physical form who “reproduces” with Mary to produce Jesus. That is basically a form of “Incubi” Christology or a throwback to medieval folklore where demons slip into bedrooms to sire monstrous offspring.

The Holy Spirit is not a “spectral stud.” Scripture is clear:

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you” (Luke 1:35).

This was divine creation, not divine copulation. The same God who spoke galaxies into existence breathed life into Mary’s womb without a hint of physicality. To describe otherwise drags the sacred mystery of the Incarnation into the mud of pagan mythology, where Zeus and his mythical kind preyed on mortals to spawn demigods.

This points to a deeper problem. I don’t know if that’s exactly where he might to go with this, but Tucker’s theology echoes pneumatic incarnation heresy—the Gnostic notion that spiritual beings take on flesh through some biological process.

The true Incarnation, by contrast, is not spirit-to-flesh reproduction but God the Son taking on a real human nature by divine power, without confusion or mixture. Ancient Gnostics obfuscated this, imagining divine emanations fusing with human bodies in strange, material ways.

Tucker’s “spirit reproduction” beliefs echo that same confusion, conjuring an image of ethereal beings meddling in genetics. It’s closer to second-century mysticism than Christian orthodoxy.

Then there’s his demonology. Carlson claims that demonic beings make deals with governments, maul people in their sleep, and even birthed nuclear technology. Apparently, the Manhattan Project was a seance and, in Tucker’s view, human beings aren’t evil enough on their own to conjure up such a thing.

Sure, Scripture warns about spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:12), but it doesn’t authorize this kind of occult speculation. This is conspiracy fiction dressed up in religious language. It’s basically X-Files meets Revelation—and it discredits the very spiritual truths he thinks he’s defending.

Why does this matter? Because the Church doesn’t need theology from political pundits. Tucker’s Episcopal background—already steeped in decades of apostasy—doesn’t qualify him to exegete Scripture. Nor does his new fascination with mysticism, which smells more of incense and superstition than of the gospel.

The Church has enough false teachers without adding political entertainers who confuse the “Immaculate Conception” with the biblical Incarnation. Why should we trust a man who can’t tell the difference between Mary’s conception and Jesus’? Why trade the clarity of Scripture for cable-news spirituality?

Tucker’s political instincts are sharp. His theological instincts are not. He’s not a seeker groping for biblical truth—he’s a showman repackaging old heresies in new language. And increasingly, his words are spiritually reckless.

The Church doesn’t need “revelations” about demons cutting deals or spirits spawning hybrids. We have the Word of God, sharper than any pundit’s quip, piercing through the fog of human folly (Hebrews 4:12).

This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth. The Church must guard its doctrine—not just from the Left, but from voices on the Right who treat theology like talk radio.

The Holy Spirit is not a cosmic lover. And the Church need not be a studio audience waiting for the next hot take.

So, Tucker, by all means, keep exposing the corruption and skewering the powers that be. But when it comes to theology, sit this one out.
