Rght Wng Christian churches are very pro-T. They're a big source of RW disinfo, just like RW media/social media Most media are Right Wing. & we're also immersed in lies from churches, sports announcers, investment newsletters, supposedly nonpolitical podcasts etc upine.medium.com/the-vast-rea...

upine.medium.comThe Vast Reach of Right Wing DisinformationIn one of my previous essays, I explained how very much in denial most Americans are about the extent to which our nation is immersed in…

In a tizzy about the sex life of consenting adults, but look the other way for pedophiles and cheaters, all-in with the pedophile protector. Ignore the parts about ‘love thy neighbor’, and ‘welcome the stranger’, instead hire a preacher who breaks up families, an orphan-maker. Gross.

Putting the “racist” in “White Christian Nationalism” (all the letters are there), & once again showing us how Jesus would be flipping tables in the modern American church.

I appreciate the signal boost everyone. I don't have a soundcloud, I'm just a concerned citizen who writes about standing up to fascism in both tech and politics. Thanks and don't give up the fight. ✊

An easy way to find out if a church is regressive and closed minded: Check their pastors and elders. No women? Assume southern baptist or a similar vain. The more men (usually white) concentrated in their clergy and elders, the more closed minded and sinister they tend to be

There might be some interesting political ties here. Cities Church was "planted" from Bethlehem Church in 2015. (See their Leader Affirmation document.) 1/?

The article also has some interesting things to say about one Joe Rigney. In 2020 he became the president of that church's academic program, Bethlehem College and Seminary (BCS). And as of 2021 he was also a pastor at Cities Church. 3/?

Why is he interesting? "Rigney has a degree from New Saint Andrews College, founded by [Doug] Wilson’s Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and has maintained ties with him." 4/?

Another hate-filled incel hiding behind religion while committing vile acts against the defenseless. They're practically the same as ISIS or the taliban.

This church is architecturally significant and is on wealthiest street in St Paul. It also is a block from Macalaster College, with 2 other excellent colleges nearby. If the Easterwood story is correct then I'd be surprised if the students didn't make a fuss about it.

That is literally the same person in the C-SPAN video as is listed on the church website, and there was also a December 2024 sermon "Prince of Peace" as preached by the same man if you care to look it up.

That’s not the subject of debate. This isn’t either, but having seen some shots of the interior on the news, I absolutely hate what they’ve done to the interior.

I saw this morning that it was confirmed to be true in the Pioneer Press. I apologize and sorry to have been a gadfly, but I had shown it to someone (sympathetic) yesterday who immediately tried to verify it but couldn’t. I couldn’t, either.
