"When a commander tells American troops that war with Iran is part of
'God’s divine plan,' that a sitting president is 'anointed by Jesus' to ignite Armageddon, and when over a hundred complaints arise across dozens of units, including from believers themselves, both our theological and constitutional alarm bells need to be going off."

"They believe Jews need to control Jerusalem as a necessary precondition for the second coming of Christ. All they care about is the rapture. Straight-up nihilistic and apocalyptic."

"Because [White Christian Nationalists] operate on CERTAINTY, not FAITH, they will destroy the entire planet and everyone and everything on it to make their Bibles come true. I don’t say this lightly: THEY ARE TRYING TO START WORLD WAR III, because they believe it will lead to Armageddon and Jesus’ return."

"The Islam I grew up with is about love, peace, and harmony. This is the Islam I connected to, not these fanatics. ...
When you step back and look at the full arc of the Islamic Republic, a pattern emerges. This is a regime that has survived by manufacturing enemies abroad and crushing dissent at home. It has used religion as a shield and a weapon, not as a source of compassion or justice."

"So far, we haven’t seen any mainstream journalism outlets reporting on these Tent Revivals in the form of briefings, but it sure seems like something that oughta be investigated."
~ Marty Kelley
New York Times certainly won't be reporting on this, since their two main religion reporters have stated that the Christian nationalism is not a thing and they won't use that term.

"This toxic form of white Christian nationalism that uses Jesus as a mascot for white supremacy and militarism is now the functioning ideology of the Trump White House. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is proudly affiliated with a church started by Christian nationalist Doug Wilson, who doesn’t believe in the separation of Church and State or the 19th Amendment."

Same, but wrt Christianity …
@knutson_brain Yes, that's one of the points I wanted the thread to make: the religious ideologies are like mirror images of each other, representing distorted and perverted presentations of major world religions.
