Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reposted and praised a video interview of a self-described Christian nationalist pastor whose church doesn’t believe women should be allowed to vote.
Doug Wilson, senior pastor of Christ Church in Idaho, said during the interview with CNN that, “Women are the kind of people that people come out of.”
“The wife and mother, who is the chief executive of the home, is entrusted with three or four or five eternal souls,” he continued.
In the CNN interview, Wilson also defended previous comments where he had said there was mutual affection between slaves and their masters. He also said that sodomy should be recriminalized. The Supreme Court invalidated sodomy laws in 2003.
I get what you are saying, but it’s more like there’s a cult spectrum. Most of the standard religions are somewhere in the middle, but there are those that tend to lean in one direction or another, from loose control to tight control.
But in the end, it’s still a person/organization trying to control a group to some extent, convincing them that an imaginary entity controls the entire universe, and only by having access to this person/organization, can you possibly hope to have that Entity’s omnipresent favor shine upon you. Otherwise, you are doomed, in this life, and beyond. That is the general take for nearly EVERY religion. Sounds pretty culty to me.
