So it was Pete Hegseth who put that loony Idaho women-are-cattle god-pest in the spotlight.
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, recently shared a video in which several pastors say women should no longer be allowed to vote, prompting one progressive evangelical organization to express concern.
Hegseth reposted a CNN segment on X on Thursday that focuses on pastor Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist who co-founded the Idaho-based Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), In the segment, he raises the idea of women not voting.
“I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,” Wilson said.
And by “Christian” he means women-subordinating. He would like to see this nation being a nation that treats female people as inferior and subordinate. How cuddly.
Another pastor interview by CNN for its segment, Toby Sumpter, said: “In my ideal society, we would vote as households. I would ordinarily be the one to cast the vote, but I would cast the vote having discussed it with my household.”
A congregant interviewed for the segment remarked that she considers her husband as the head their household, and added: “I do submit to him.”
Hegseth reposted the nearly seven-minute report with the caption: “All of Christ for All of Life.”
It was bad enough on its own. Knowing it was about the Fox News Secretary of Defense makes it quite a lot worse.

I wonder what the Bible has to say about the primary system, jerrymandering, and SuperPACs? Funny how these guys are as eager to apply so-called “biblical principles” to electoral politics as they are to use Genesis as a science text, even though its writers (and its god) seem to have no awareness of the existence of galaxies, wombats, or bacteria.
Or even other continents.
