Originally published at: An Outspoken Christian Nationalist Pastor Expands His Sway In Trump’s DC - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Idaho pastor Douglas Wilson can be provocative. He once wrote that “slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races.” He’s said that “sodomy” is worse than “slavery”; abortion, he’s written, is “as great an evil as slavery” due to what he sees as its ability to spark a civil war. He told…

I spent over twenty-five years in community planning, the last fifteen as a consultant. Never did I think the federal government would stick their nose into a decision by one of my plan commissions or boards or zoning appeals. WTF is going on here?
ETA. So much for local control.

Why would a non-repentent drinker and all around degenerate like Hegseth be such a fervent church goer??
Maybe he figures that his weekly shower in “the blood of the lamb” makes him pure the rest of the week, so he’s got nothing to feel guilty about anymore? That all the other white-nats in his congregation and beyond will just smile and say But he’s forgiven!" (unlike those degenerate Democrats)?
Whatever. It works. It’s a near-perfect con, and one the Libz are totally incapable of understanding. (heh!)

Perhaps it’s time to take away his/their tax exemption status?
" To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities, and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates."
The Republican Party is just so much of a rule following organization (like the Mob), surely they would want to know about this. Just saying…

I have published on Jesus and Christianity. I have read the King James Bible innumerable times for the majesty of its language. I have read the New Testament in Greek because I want to get as close to the intention and meaning of the early Christian community as possible.
Trust me as a published author and expert. These people don’t understand a single word of it. Not one single word.
They are monsters and liars . . . they are the very people Christ sought to drive from the Temple.

The DOJ is suing the city of Troy, Idaho, which has a population of less than 1,000, on behalf of Christo-Nazi Douglas Wilson’s Christ Church for denying it a land use permit.
I find this interesting for a couple of reasons, beginning with the fact the permit was denied because the locals didn’t want it there.
Troy is located 12.5 miles east of Moscow, Idaho, which is ten miles east of Pullman, Washington. Moscow and Pullman are both university towns, the homes of University of Idaho and Washington State University, respectively, with a combined population of about 60,000. This area is considered the most southern edge of North Idaho.
It’s pretty safe to say that the general intelligence of the Moscow/Pullman area is markedly higher, thus less rabidly Rethugliklan, than the state as a whole.
It’s worth remembering that North Idaho has a history with Christo-Nazis, namely the Aryan Nations Church and its infamous pastor Richard “Dick” Butler.* So it’s no surprise that the people of Troy would have an aversion to the Christ Church’s presence.
Like their Aryan Nations predecessors to the north, Christ Church, located in Moscow, and its members are not the most popular folks in town. To say that its reputation preceded it to Troy is not a surprise, which explains the fact the permit was denied because the locals didn’t want it there.
So it only makes sense that the new, improved DOJ, with its unlimited resources, would sue little City of Troy which can ill-afford a court fight. This is not to say Troy will lose. Just to point out that the fact the permit was denied because the locals didn’t want it there appears to be enough reason for the MAGAt Crime Syndicate to roll over them in pursuit of “justice” for Christo-Nazis.
*A word about “Dick” Butler.
I lived in Coeur d’Alene for a number of years, up until shortly after the trial where Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center ultimately left Dick penniless with the clothes on his back.
At the time, Dick and his band of Neo-Nazis and Skinheads were not at all popular with local folks; sort of explains why the “Church” was located in a fenced, gated and guarded compound. And so I happily offer MY 100% TRUE DICK STORY.
Dick loved his dogs, specifically – surprise! – his male purebred German Shepherds. Unfortunately for the dogs, the love didn’t necessarily extend as much to the community.
He took one dog, Adolph, to the vet one day, for what Dick thought was a check-up and a nail-clipping. The vet’s office in Hayden was located directly across the street from a very large, very divey bar. The actual bar was situated just inside perpendicular to the front door. That meant if you were sitting at the bar and the front door was open you would be looking directly across the street (Government Way) at the vet’s office.
This turned out to be problematic for Dick and Adolph. You see, the bar was inhabited during the day by semi-professional red-necky barflies.
Shortly after Dick dropped of his dog, the vet received a phone call from someone claiming to be Butler instructing him to “go ahead and neuter Adolph” while he was there. The vet, of course, obliged.
Rumor among the local media and bar biz folk had it that the call came from inside the bar.
Dick was heartbroken, Adolph Butler went home ball-less, and the vet subsequently paid a settlement, some of which was paid through an unofficial fundraiser – for the vet!

In regard to the “Cristian case for immigration restrictions”,
According to the Bible as written in its original Hebrew, Sodom and Gamora were destroyed by God because of greed, how the poor and strangers were treated and had nothing to do with sex of any kind. The part about Lotts wife intended to show the weakness and evil of women was also not in the original story.
Now one could ask if current Christianity was against greed and concerned the treatment of the poor and those who do not look like us instead of sex and furthering White male dominance would our politics be different and my answer to that is all true Christians I know are concerned against greed, treatment of the poor and those who do not look like us.
Hopefully the above explains what I think of this “Pastor”.

The church’s response to sex crimes was a topic of conversation. Members of the church have been arrested and charged with such crimes, including former deacon Alex Lloyd, who pleaded guilty to child porn charges in 2022.
