Podcast host Joshua Haymes voices range of extreme views and says liberalism a greater threat to US than neo-Nazism
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has repeatedly endorsed the Reformation Red Pill podcast, and has appeared on four episodes. But the former pastor who hosts the show, and who attends Hegseth’s theocratic church, has voiced a range of extreme positions in recent months on issues including Ice raids, capital punishment, the racist “great replacement” theory, adultery and neo-Nazism.
The revelations come on top of recent media reports focused on Hegseth also boosting a video of Douglas Wilson and other Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) pastors arguing that women should lose the vote in the United States. They also follow previous revelations about Hegseth’s links to or apparent sympathies for Christian nationalist positions.
I would be morbidly fascinated to understand the logic. Like it has to fall apart on any kind of examination. But nobody just asks for clarity about internal contradictions? Religion is so weird to me.
There is no logic unfortunately. The Bible was used to justify slavery by slavers. You can twist the book into any view you want once you don’t care about others.
If there’s a hell they’re going there though. 🔥
I always laughed about the xtians that argued that the slaves were freed by xtians because of “the” bible. I always have to laugh at that attempt. Sure, some people maybe read the red-letter stuff and started asking questions and couched their arguments in biblical terms since it’s basically a Rorschach blot.
I then ask them to explain the history of the Southern Baptists. Also explain to me how it would take centuries to arrive at this supposed xtian conclusion regarding slavery?
