It’s remarkable how Christian Nationalism starts with running down the country they’re in.

Then the devil went up to the top of the highest mountain;
And revealed all the kingdoms of the world, with their mammon and riches;
“All this I will give unto thee,” he said, “if thou wilt but bow down and worship me”;
And megachurch Trump voters dropped to their knees faster than a shoe salesman on commission-only.

Seriously, there are reasons the numbers of Christians are falling in this country. And it ain’t that heathen education. Who would buy their crap coming in cold? They all give me the creeps.

Shit. Here in the PNW we have been trying to CONTAIN these freaks! In the House today the Leader said he ‘prayed to GOD’ to screw people out of health care and his ‘prayers’ were answered. All Trump’s sycophants are sanctimoniously decrying ‘antisemitism’. Bull and pucky.

Idaho pastor Douglas Wilson can be provocative. He once wrote that “slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races.”
And that’s “provocative” in the sense of “delusional.”
Here’s some genuine affection between a police dog and a high school student in Alabama.

Your comment reminded me of one of my favorite clips:
The question is which parts of Leviticus, isn’t it. Although we all know that answer.

We’re going to need to do something about these religious fanatics.

So true. This guy is all about power and control–maybe money too–and certainly not love.

In a functioning and effective resistance, like the resistance in Europe to the Nazis, such an ideological leader would be a high value target.

In fact - and this is not controversial - the story of the Holy Family and its flight to Egypt is all about the acceptance of the immigrant in a strange land, and giving them refuge from persecution. Even more so is the story of the Good Samaritan, which is all about helping those who are different, despised, marginal.
Again, these people stand against everything that the New Testament teaches. They are the Pharisees. The Judases. The Pilates. The Antipases and Salomes. They thump the Bible because they cannot read it.
No pun intended, but I wish to God people would stand up to these people and overturn the tables of these money-changers . . . and I mean that literally and metaphorically.
The Bible needs to be used to defeat, in a sense, the Bible-Thumpers. Plain and simple.

Nah. Hegseth is too stupid for such deep thinking. Like all of Corporate America, he’s a follower with his face shoved up the ass of anyone above him on the org chart. You think as you’re told. You do as you’re told.

perhaps you mean ‘ostensibly’ rather than auspiciously?

He still is. One day history will train its lens on him.

Not even Leviticus, actually.
Here’s Mr. Wilson on the aliens among us: His September **2023 speech alongside** Vought took place on Capitol Hill in the basement of the Senate’s Dirksen Office building. It was dedicated to making the “Christian Case for Immigration Restriction,” and was delivered as part of the “Theology of American Statecraft” series.
And here’s the book of Leviticus(and also the Lord your God) on the exact same aliens: The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 19:34
