"I find it heartbreaking that some of the loudest voices defending Christian values are the very ones breaking the first commandment again and again. … Just to be clear, Christian nationalism has no place in either Christianity or patriotism.”

~ Lutheran Bishop Shelley Bryan Wee quoted by Morgen White

Now it has shifted to become less focused on America itself and more aligned with a global authoritarianism that is grounded in a violent masculinity."

"As a theologian, as a pastor, I understand Christian nationalism as an idolatry. And what I've seen is that the idol itself has shifted. It's shifted from a backwards sort of patriotic-ish view of America, a lot of iconography of flags, of military insignia, really Norman Rockwell-esque sort of fuzzy white Americana pictures."

~ Lutheran pastor Angela Denker

"We don’t stop living in a sexually violent world because a bishop is more worried about condoms than the safety and well-being of young adults."

"Though patriarchy often claims a monopoly on rationality and reason, those committed to it will discount the most verifiable, coherent, ordinary story told by a woman and accept any fantastical account by a man, will pretend sexual violence is rare and false accusations common, and so forth."

"If you look at a study of fundamentalist religion across the world, the one thing all fundamentalist religions have in common is the subjugation of women. Ultimately, the goal is to use God to establish a theocracy that is created in such a way that establishes all benefit part and parcel for white men."

"That’s the thing about power: it thrives on being the ‘default.’ Unseen, unquestioned and just, there. However, once you identify and name it, the system loses its status as the natural order of things and becomes an object."

"For a long time, patriarchy didn’t have to explain itself. It didn’t have to justify why women should marry, or have children, or center their lives around others. It didn’t have to make the case that this arrangement was fair, or fulfilling or even optional. It simply was.

Not anymore."

"The domination is the point, along with the cruelty.

We have so very far to go before women are treated in accordance with a third logic that Kant famously identified—not fancy price, nor market price, but the logic of dignity, where our humanity as a rational subject with autonomy is honored."

"If only we had a name for this…

And what is this system called that perpetuates gender inequality, and dominance and entitlement among men?

Patriarchy.

The word for that system is called patriarchy."

Celeste Davis points to what we don't want to talk about as we talk about Epstein and the Epstein Class:

"Why aren’t we talking about why so many men when given power continually choose to use that power to rape women?

WHY AREN’T WE TALKING ABOUT THAT?! ...

Entitlement, gender inequality and masculine discrepancy stress have all been correlated with rape."

"Now we have Hegseth, the former Fox Business weekend host, supplying the slogan that sums up the authoritarian approach to international relations:

'We negotiate with bombs,' Hegseth declared at a recent press conference."

"The unfolding of the Iran war confirms that Trump sees diplomacy as a waste of time and compromise as a sign of weakness. We know now that the administration rejected negotiated solutions that would have given the Trump administration a 'win.' Instead, they chose violence, bombing rather than signing an agreement to end the conflict."

Noting that "Trump, like many other right-wing leaders before him, has a long history with combat sports," TPM announces that at 3 P.M. today (EST, I think) it will discuss "how martial arts has become right coded." A link to log in is in the article linked below.

"This administration & the entire right-wing movement is full of pasty edgelords looking for other men through whom they can achieve a vicarious experience of masculinity. And the performance of manhood to which they are most attracted is violence, whether it’s in the ring or perpetrated by a masked ICE goon giving a beat-down to a peaceful protester."

"Wilson's remarks at the Pentagon assured the audience that their battles were God’s battles, that God would be their protector just as he was for figures from scripture like Noah and David. He suggested that God’s people, having searched for the enemy, now realize they are surrounded—the implication presumably being that the real enemy is other Americans."

"They would limit the ability of believers of other faiths—including non-Protestant Christians—to publicly practice their faith; Wilson recently said on a podcast that the theocratic society he envisions would ban mosques from broadcasting calls to prayer and prohibit Catholic parades honoring the Virgin Mary."

"not merely condoning a form of women’s submission in marriage that has been common in evangelicalism, but also severely limiting leadership roles in the church and in government and society to men only. …

Wilson & his followers would deny not only women but also non-Christians the franchise and the right to pursue public office."

"Wilson and other Christian nationalists draw on a framework known as 'sphere sovereignty' to interpret and apply the Bible to every area of modern life. ...

The government would advance a view of the world that is deeply patriarchal—" (continued in /5)

"For them, a Christian nation would be governed directly by biblical law, and in every area of of its common life and culture it would be shaped by a comprehensive 'biblical world and life view.'

A Christian nation, in his account, is a nation in which there is no area of life and culture where the Bible is not the ultimate authority."

"Proponents of America as a Christian nation are often somewhat hazy about what the end state of a 'Christian nation' would look like specifically, but Wilson and his followers have carefully laid out a detailed vision."

Julie Ingersoll provides an instructive rundown of what white Christian nationalism of the ilk of Douglas Wilson, Pete Hegseth's pastor, intends to impose on the US (and the entire world).
