New post up on Substack. "The manosphere and the evangelical masculinists are on all sides of young men telling them that they’re not being men in the way they should be men. They want to change men, they just don’t want to hold them accountable."

“This is the significance of pastors reenforcing their arguments with appeals to theology and biblical authority. No matter how many people attempt to correct them, they believe that the power of God is on their side since it’s them that God has called to that authority.”

Much of the MAGA/Trumpist propaganda hasn’t been spread in political rallies, talking heads, or campaign ads. A lot of it has been disseminated by pastors to their congregations. And they legitimize themselves and their messages by claiming divine justifications like “theologically accurate.”

Don’t worry guys, Doug Wilson thinks the actual threat is communism. Don’t mind all the Nazi dog whistles and literature running rampant. And don’t worry about the actual Nazis. They aren’t an actual threat. Don’t forget their leader was a failed painter who spoke at pubs. He’s not a real threat.

The Christian thing to do when men are being taught things that oppose the teachings of the Bible and no one is correcting it is for women to not remain silent and correct them, just as Priscilla and Aquila did in Acts 18:26. New Thoughts and Stuff on the Substack.

Imagine trying to tell the early church fathers and early evangelists, who often lost their lives and ended up being tortured and persecuted, that they should rethink the Great Commission to accommodate their comfort. These are the fruits of Josh neglecting seminary and becoming a pundit pastor.

1930’s Germany seems terrifying and ancient to many of us in modern America. But, for many, it seems like only a yesteryear and reminiscent of a better time. History does sometimes repeat itself; are we going to allow it to this time?

It was inevitable that Christian Nationalism started being a shill for pro-Nazi literature and sympathies. Let’s not forget there is an entire book making the case for Christian Nationalism having its own Völkisch movement. Predictably, this is going to be where CN leans more in the future.

It’s the least surprising revelation. Anyone who has been tracking Christian Nationalism knew it was inevitable for them to get to blatant Nazi-ism. And this is not the last of it. It’s safe to assume they’ll feel emboldened by the pushback. (Screenshots from Eli McGowan on twitter)

To me, when Mary says, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word” that sounds like someone giving their acceptance with faith. Idk why they want to insist that Christianity isn’t a consent-based faith when so much of the faith consists of “saying yes.”

Great point from @wthrockmorton.bsky.social here. Christianity is nothing more than an aesthetic for them to parade their political ideology in. For many CN, cultural Christianity is good because it’s never about eternity changing belief as much as it’s about social propaganda. #christianpast

Once again, we should be holding the evangelical voting block to a higher standard since they justify their voting for this man with their faith. If their faith gives justification for this type of lack of humanity, the evangelical right has lost its Christian roots.

Racism is becoming way too comfortable in evangelical circles. You now have very prominent pastors calling Zohran Mamdani a “Jihadist” and using 9/11 as an argument against him simply for him being a Muslim.

There has always been a clear pipeline between Christian Nationalists and right wing Christian populists to social nationalists sympathies. It’s time to have a study tracking the rise of national socialists/authoritarian sentiment in the Christian Right. The data is there.

The most interesting thing to watch with this rise of Christian Nationalism from within our own government, and by those like Doug Wilson, who have spent years working towards this, is how quickly it always becomes about the abuse of power and never about the advancement of biblical faith.

My assumption about the modern far-right conservative is that their ideology is not based on historical insight or even logic, but rather being an internet “edge-lord.” They quote memes for references, they bait AI to repeat their prejudice, and they’re entirely selfish in their goals.

We need less pros on everything and more pros on one thing. A fault of the internet is that is had convinced people that they are intellectuals in multiple things simple bc they went down a YouTube rabbit hole. It’s okay to not have an opinion on everything that’s trendy.

Advocates of Christian Nationalism are very quickly becoming less silent on their fandom of national socialism. It relies on prejudice, historical revisionism, and the end goal of power consolidation. And those who advocate for it know all of this and they do not care.

It’s not impossible for the US to have an Orbán-like politician, and Trump clearly admires him. We don’t have to be in a crisis to fight against overreach though, we can do what we can to fight it now. People hardly ever know they’re losing their democracy until it’s lost. Let’s not repeat history.

There is something so deeply wrong within the mind of Andrew Isker (excerpts from his book “Boniface Option) for him to constantly talk about women as either being submissive and obedient housewives or being “meat-puppet sex toys” for men. The language he uses is steeped in misogyny.

The Male Loneliness Epidemic might be almost entirely self-inflicted by men. Women are not here to take what is “rightfully” yours. The “trash world” is only a boogieman invented by men who lack the will to live within a world they are too scared to help change.

There’s a massive misogyny issue in the conservative Christian sphere. They’re creating new sins like “effeminate” and “empathy.” Constantly pandering on their podcast that women need to be revoked of their rights. The list goes on-and-on. They’re doing irreversible harm to men.

Wolfe, in his book, argued that God would’ve built a political nation of hierarchy where an upper class ruled over a slave class in the prelapsarian garden of Eden. He also justifies violence to advance kinist theology and subverts historic ecclesiastical polity for CN polity.

American evangelicalism is so steeped in misogyny that when people speak out about obvious bullying and power abuse, the pastors accuse every one of being too “womanly.” It’s no wonder why the SBC mismanages abuse. The culture refuses to see bullying as bad if it comes from men they view as “tough.”
