... Pastor Doug Wilson, a CREC co-founder, leads Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, the network's flagship location. Jovial and media-friendly, Wilson is no stranger to stirring controversy with his church's hard-line theology and its embrace of patriarchy and Christian nationalism.

Wilson told The Associated Press on Monday he was grateful Hegseth shared the video. He noted Hegseth's post was labeled with Christ Church's motto: "All of Christ for All of Life."

"He was, in effect, reposting it and saying, 'Amen,' at some level," Wilson said. ...

Hegseth is a neo Nazi.

It's what made him such a vital part of the Trump administration.

I'm not 100% there yet, but maybe 60-70%.

I'm still willing to be convinced otherwise.

Who cares what his "organized religion" beliefs are. He is just as cluelessly hypocritical as all other performances.

"purging several women from leadership posts"

Women are too emotional. We need real leaders like Hegseth who are vindictive and need to feel superior to others.

We need real leaders who are confirmed sexual predators to run the government, apparently.

He's a proven garbage person unfit for work. Perfect for leading the MAGA military

Freedom of religion:

"The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. It does so through two main clauses: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment Clause prevents the government from establishing a state religion or favoring one religion over another. The Free Exercise Clause protects individuals' right to practice their religion without government interference."

None here, to my recognization, had any problem with obama's America hating minister - do correct me if I am wrong.

There's a pretty big difference between anything Rev. Wright ever said
vs
"Women shouldn't be allowed to vote."

When Rev Wright says:
"God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

He's referring to White Christian Conservative Talibapbists and Yall-Qaeda who say:
"Women shouldn't be allowed to vote."

And I'm confident even you, from the confines of your iron lung, can understand that.

Jeremiah Wright, war hero, didn't say a thing that Pat Robertson hadn't been saying for years:

God, damn America for its gheys.
