In a wide-ranging interview, Wilson said he opened a D.C. “church service” because of the number of Christians who adhere to his church’s teachings within the Trump administration. One of the most prominent followers is Hegseth, who attends the newly opened D.C. congregation.
“If Kamala [Harris] had won the presidency, there would have been basically zero evangelicals in the White House administration,” Wilson said. “And although Donald Trump is not an evangelical by any stretch … his administration is full of them.”
That’s why Wilson sees an opportunity for his beliefs to be seriously considered at this moment, including the belief that eventually the U.S. should be a Christian theocracy, whereby Christian principles dictate state authority and religion and politics are tightly intertwined.
I cannot tell you how many pearl clutching right wing assholes - and their Murc’s Law assistants - would chastise me, try to get me silenced, etc., for talking about xtian Shariah Law and the Talibangelists - claiming “no such thing exists” and I’m just being “hateful” to point out right wing xtian extremism.
Yeah, no shit, they don’t literally exist, but other than a few matters of doctrine, extreme conservative Muslims and extreme conservative xtians differ on very, very little and in fact worship the same god of the Hebrew bible.
