Podcast host Joshua Haymes voices range of extreme views and says liberalism a greater threat to US than neo-Nazism
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has repeatedly endorsed the Reformation Red Pill podcast, and has appeared on four episodes. But the former pastor who hosts the show, and who attends Hegseth’s theocratic church, has voiced a range of extreme positions in recent months on issues including Ice raids, capital punishment, the racist “great replacement” theory, adultery and neo-Nazism.
The revelations come on top of recent media reports focused on Hegseth also boosting a video of Douglas Wilson and other Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) pastors arguing that women should lose the vote in the United States. They also follow previous revelations about Hegseth’s links to or apparent sympathies for Christian nationalist positions.
Gotta love these followers of Jesus doing and saying exactly all the things Jesus said to never do… Not that it matters, all religions are imaginary, but leave it up to Christians to always posture about how pious they are while going 100% against their own rules and just act like giant narcissistic assholes.
I hate Christians
Christianity is a religion fundamentally about escaping consequences for your actions. Instead of having to face consequences, all you have to do is believe Jesus paid the consequences for you.
It’s the same way the conservatives, including and often most especially the True Conservatives ™, always blather on about things like freedom, rights, the Constitution, America, etc., as if they are the ones that own those things wholesale.
When they never meant any of that shit, ever. They don’t give a flying fuck about the Constitution any more than they do about “the” bible.
I would be morbidly fascinated to understand the logic. Like it has to fall apart on any kind of examination. But nobody just asks for clarity about internal contradictions? Religion is so weird to me.
There is no logic unfortunately. The Bible was used to justify slavery by slavers. You can twist the book into any view you want once you don’t care about others.
If there’s a hell they’re going there though. 🔥
It’s a Klan church
Let me guess, he’s not for public executions of criminals from the reich wing, but imagined “criminals” who are only committing “crimes” in his mind.
Hey! If he has to see two dudes holding hands, it’s gonna make him remember all those times that he thought a boy in his class was cute and then what’s he supposed to do?!
Organized religion is social cancer
Then line up the freshly sharpened guillotines and line up the traitorous degenerate Republicans right behind ‘em. They’re free to bring their bibles with ‘em.
Hegseth might be the most dangerous member of the administration.
Can they start with him and see what it’s like
Lo, lol they will not - the lord said to moses.
Leviticus 4:20
Fascism is a far-right, ultranationalist, and authoritarian political ideology that emerged in early 20th-century Europe, characterized by a totalitarian, one-party state, a charismatic leader, a fixation on national decline, and the suppression of individual rights and opposition groups. It combines elements of militarism, economic self-sufficiency, and mass mobilization, often through propaganda and violence, to achieve a vision of national purity and power.
Lets start with the people in the white house.
In like five more years, I’m sure there are going to be a bunch of churches that don’t even preach religion anymore, you just go there and hear the pastor parrot right wing news outlets. That whole “be nice to others” is inconvenient so they’ll just do away with it and still go to church to seem morally superior to everyone else.
“Empathy is a sin”
I mean it is a religion, and they are zealots. There have been schisms before over both more and less (purgatory / indulgences, ‘not my pope’) than “is empathy important to Christianity”.
“Religious” is not a synonym for “good” or “kind”. It’s about adherence to a belief system, which may conditionally include aspects of those attributes.
It was already like that 20 years ago.
In my anecdotal experience, it’s been a lot longer than that. They didn’t have Faux until 30 years ago, but they had pamphlets and John Birch meetings and other ways to spread the crazy.
I would like him to show me a chapter and verse for those claims
Online he has claimed that liberalism is a greater threat to the US than neo-Nazism, and that the Bible is “pro-Ice raids”. On X, he has also advocated for capital punishment for adultery and abortion, and appeared to call for the drowning of LGBTQ+ Pride marchers.
So by the transitive property of conservative accusations to conservative confessions, we can safely assume that this guy is a violent, NAZI adulterer who has paid for multiple abortions and also likes sucking the occasional immigrant cock.
Probably raped a few people too
It’s weird, because Taco is a well-known adulterer. Someone should ask this guy if Taco should be the first one executed?
Their own bible condemns all of these so-called “Christians” into “everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
Matthew 25:40-45
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Don’t say “Christians” as if these people aren’t real Christians, they are. These are the dregs of Christianity, these people are one of the endpoints to that antiquated belief system. They are every bit as Christian as the rest, own it and fix it, don’t brush them under the rug and pretend they’re not real
