It was because of American "Christians" like Hegseth and this fake Christian church that he has aligned himself with that I walked away from the religion of my birth as a young man. And it is also because supposedly decent Christians refuse to stand up to these usurpers of Jesus Christ's philosophy of love, kindness, mercy, inclusion, forgiveness, etc. that I am quite content to maintain a healthy distance from that religion.
"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."
Show me in the bible where Jesus advocated for public executions.
Show me in the bible where Jesus approves of violently kidnapping people off the streets and from their homes and workplaces, taking them from their families, and surreptitiously sending them to torture prisons in third-world, lawless hellhole countries.
Show me in the bible where Jesus blessed the liars, the con men, and greed-mongers (aka, money-changers), and the coup plotters.
Show me in the bible where Jesus protected the rapists and child rapists.
Show me in the bible where the Christian Lord and Savior extolled the virtues of hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny, greed, and avarice.
I'm certain some enterprising MAGA enthusiasts can and will cherry-pick and contort certain passages in the bible to accomodate these extremist views and justify their twisted version of Christianity, but in the end, those tainted beliefs are still an unforgivable affront to everything that their faith icon Christ supposedly preached.
The fact that Hegseth is attempting to infuse his toxic religious beliefs into the US military system via his US Secretary of Defense position is both disgusting and un-American, not to mention dangerous. But then again, just about everything this criminal administration does is disgusting, un-American, and dangerous.
