Ingersoll:

"They want all of the nations of the world to be Christian. They want to institute theocratic governments across the globe. They think the whole world should be Christian. This ties into their eschatology. They are what we call post-millennialists. They believe the kingdom of God was established at the resurrection, and it's the job of Christians to build it."

"And for them, that means to go all about the world and make everything Christian."

Ali:

"At the end, the end goal, for these different groups is control. And it's control for one group of people. And that one group is Christians and specifically white Christian men at the top."

"On Easter Sunday, I received an email 'alert' from the National Faith Advisory Board (NFAB), an organization led by the televangelist Paula White, a longtime friend of President Trump who is also the senior advisor to the White House Faith Office. The 'alert' came six hours after Trump’s Truth Social post threatening war crimes against Iran if the 'crazy bastards' did not 'Open the Fuckin’ Strait.'"

Trump’s Evangelical Leaders Are Working Overtime to Spin The Iran War

In Church, Merch, and State, Sarah Posner writes about the intersection of religion...

TPM - Talking Points Memo

"While the NFAB email delivery might have been scheduled in advance, it nonetheless was jarring in the context of Trump’s vulgar and violent morning. 'Dear Faith Leader,' it read. 'This sacred weekend from the greatest platform in the free world and beyond, President Trump proclaimed the Gospel to all that could hear.' The email linked to a short video, establishing that the platform in question was not Truth Social, but the Oval Office."

"From there, Trump robotically read (and at some points strangely shouted) an Easter message about Christ’s resurrection. At points, he sounded like someone who was hearing about John 3:16 for the very first time. ...

As Trump flounders in the prosecution of his war on Iran, his evangelical loyalists are feverishly closing ranks, including during a Holy Week marked by Trump’s & Hegseth’s Christianity-infused bloodlust, which prompted papal rebukes."

"That is why they are intensifying their messaging that Trump is divine, that he is persecuted like Jesus was, that his war is destroying Iran and protecting Israel from Iranian savagery, all while igniting a Christian revival in America."

@wdlindsy I'm really glad someone is documenting all this. It would be easy to forget just how bonkers these people are, but we need to remember if we're to avoid doing all this again in a generation.
