You've been in the news a lot lately because you have some sort of monomania regarding the antichrist. As a theologian, I may be able to help you understand some things in order to assuage your seeming fears.

A Note on Anti-Christian Actions and Christian Persecution
Evangelical Christians in America have for decades been crying "Persecution!" whenever they don't get their way in the political sphere or in waging their perpetual culture wars against anything and anyone they don't like. For these Christians anything that doesn't amount Christian supremacy in all spheres is persecution. It's a cry that has long rang …

Highlights from April Ajoy’s appearance on the God Squad Pod
Author and social media star April Ajoy sat down with the Desimber Rose and the Tattooed Theologian, Dillon Naber Cruz, on the God Squad Pod to talk about her must-read book Star Spangled Jesus. She's hilarious and her lived experience in Christian nationalism makes her book compelling reading. I highly recommend it. https://youtu.be/AnwcH2Oq1p0?si=FNYWokwD978WRd1x https://youtu.be/R6ETQVHy3JY?si=_nuxmtkYGjpHr8r5 https://youtu.be/NZ72RszO1ME?si=A3o-FpU7iN0g3PjX …

Chronicling Christian nationalist nonsense
Christian nationalists are in the news again, although still not nearly enough, because CNN recently did a profile of Doug Wilson. He is a proponent of Christian reconstructionism, hyper-patriarchy, and setting up a theonomic state. Wilson has long been on the radar of Christian historians and other researchers of Christian nationalism. His views, like those …

Let freedom ring?
It is Independence Day in these United States. This holiday is bitterly ironic given the current state of brazen fascism in America as the Trance Regime continues to dismantle institutional norms. Meanwhile, politicians wring their hands as they capitulate to the felonious Predator in Chief and his minions. Senator Lisa Murkowski has ensured that her …
The big bogus boondoggle
It seems that as surely as night follows day, the rich will oppress the poor. Today the U.S. Senate chose to continue that malignant tradition by voting in favor of the "Big Beautiful Bill" which would more aptly be called "The Big Bogus Boondoggle," because of its brazen transfer of wealth from the poor and …

On the wrong side of history…again
I moved to the town of Blue Ridge, TX just before I turned 12 years old back in the late winter of 1984. It didn't take long for the secretary of the First Baptist Church (FBC) of Blue Ridge to knock on our door to invite us to come to the church. A few months …
Full blown fascism
Back when Donald Trump entered his first race as a presidential candidate, it was clear to many of us what kind of presidential administration he would have were he to inexplicably win the election. During that campaign I had begun work on my Master's thesis which would later become my first book and in the …
