    You know damn well that he is gayer than mayor mcgayerson at the gay day parade during gaytowns gay days celebration gala. A self hating gay man. That’s really the tragedy. Now, everyone is the enemy and all he can do is spread the toxicity.

    Is there a polymarket where I can bet how long it’ll be before Kegbreath’s “pastor” is caught with CSAM?

      Two answers.

      1. Yes, as a layperson, this like either a direct threat or at very least an incitement to violence. If this is wrong, lawyers please chime in :)

      2. Unless there are charges, it might as well be legal. Laws, rights etc mean nothing if the enforcement behind them is corrupted. That doesn’t mean there are no laws for us, but it does mean that laws hold far less weight against those in power.

    Can anyone just do that? Let me try…“God, please kill Hegseth’s pastor!”

    Also, if your pastor is calling for the killing of other people, I’ve got some bad news for you about your church and you being “Christian”

    Surely if a church cannot support a political candidate without losing tax-exempt status, then calling for the death of a candidate should mean they lose tax exemption and then pay double taxes.

        The first time I really thought about it, I was surprised that churches were willing to let the government tell them what they were allowed to preach in exchange for money.

        But then I realized that it was proof that all churches are scams. If you’re a tax exempt church in America, then you’re doing it for the money, not because it is morally right.

    The fact that his followers don’t call him out for his insane bloodlust is very telling. These people don’t even have a foundation in their own religion let alone any moral compass at all.

    These hatemongers are undeserving of religious designation and should instead be labeled as the stochastic terrorists they are.

      Religious people want to be told how to live/think. It’s the exact same with the trump cult. “Why do they keep supporting him?” I hear all the time. Well, you see, there is no thinking going on there. Just thoughtless following. This keeps them from having to feel responsible for their choices.

    Hegseth’s pastor is a heretic.

    Brooks Potteiger, Hegseth’s pastor:

    Public enemies. These are the Orcs at the gates. You are not called to love the barbarian horde that is planning to break into your city and pillage, plunder, rape, and mutilate you and your people. You don’t love that horde.

    Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:43-45:

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

      Beat me to it. Blatant heresy. Directly and completely contradicts biblical canon and principals from the altar. He’s a liar, a hypocrite, and a vile human being. Of course Hegseth goes to that guy’s church.

        Not only does he go to it. I can almost guarantee you based on the behavior of other fundamentalist Christians he probably directly sought this guy’s church out for how extreme his views are.
