"As [Hegseth's pastor Douglas] Wilson said in the lead-in to his [Tucker] Carlson interview, 'there is no salvation without the shedding of blood. There must be a sacrifice. There must be a scapegoat.' ...
This is what Christian nationalism requires: a morality that is comfortable ending the world as we know it, so their sort of Christians get their day."

Christian nationalism and the Christian patriarchy that comes built in are direct threats to our basic freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom (for women) to vote, freedom for all of us to make basic choices about our own lives."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Do Christian nations rain down death and destruction all day long? Which part of Jesus’ ministry signals this sort of behavior is in line with his goals for his followers?
Violence, and the glorification of it, is a central cultural element of the Christianity of Christian nationalism."

Would Jesus Condone "Death and Destruction from the Sky All Day Long"?

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"In the context of the broader Christian tradition, however, other expressions of Christianity would consider it an idol. And an idol is whatever Christians place their hope and trust in rather than God."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It feels patently ridiculous, but we have, you know, white Christian nationalists running the Pentagon. … They clearly haven't read the Bible because in Revelation, the people who start the war are the bad guys in that book. So it really does make you think a little bit how deeply they've thought this through."
