Just ask Doug Wilson.
“If Kamala [Harris] had won the presidency, there would have been basically zero evangelicals in the White House administration,” Wilson said. “And although Donald Trump is not an evangelical by any stretch … his administration is full of them.”
Doug has something in common with Richard Dawkins.
“So probably the best illustration of this would be church bells? Yes. Minarets? No,” he said.
Why?
“Because, the public space would belong to Christ,” he added.
He also doesn’t want women to vote, let alone run for high office.
Wilson also wants to repeal women’s right to vote. When asked why, he was quick to respond.
“Because it’s a good idea,” he said, adding that he wants it replaced with household voting, with women only voting if they are the head of their household.
I voted for Kamala Harris. It’s nice that a pig like Doug Wilson is reassuring me that my vote was righteous.
NPR has a short video clip of the interview with him. At the end of it, the interviewer asks him about LGBTQ+ rights, to clarify that he wants to make relationships illegal. He dodges the question and replies that he’s okay with them talking and saying whatever they want but he doesn’t want any legal protections for them.
Sure, sounds great. You can say whatever you want, but people who don’t understand you and don’t like you are in charge of how you can act, even in the most private parts of your life. You first, you shitty wannabe theocrat. You can say whatever you want but I’ll decide whether you get to act on any of it and approve all your relationships. What a farce this guy is, and the full interview headline talks about how he’s becoming more mainstream. Can’t be bothered to waste my time on anything that obviously stupid and wrongheaded.
I’m no Nostradamus, but I feel this thread will take a sudden turn, probably within the first 10 comments. A familiar pattern will emerge. The question is which faction strikes first. 3…2…1…
Back in the 70s and 80s, I was growing up in the town where Doug started his cult, and I’ve seen the damage he’s done there over the decades. He pretty much split that town apart, and it never really recovered from it. I still go out there to visit relatives and friends from school. We always joked that our town was a little oasis between the Neo-Nazis to the north of us, and the Mormons to the south. Then this wanker comes along.
Needless to say, I have loathed this wretched excuse for a human for most all of my life.
He looks like someone who enjoys making other people miserable.
Is this Hegseth’s guru, or is he a different kook?
There might be an advantage to household voting: Mormons, Quiverfull, and other similar idiot households only get one vote.
He wants the government to seize all the churches, make em public, then give the land away to a for’ner from Palestine!? /s
birgerjohanson @ #5 — Yep, Doug and Pete are two peas in the urinal. Who knows, perhaps Doug has a tattoo similar to Pete’s.
I heard that piece of shit on MPR, yesterday? Monday? same interview Lanir mentions I assume. He doesn’t sound like a wacko. He sounds very reasonable. But. The shit he says is odious as hell.
Yes, we held our noses and voted for kamala. But, please, no one give her any ideas about running for office again. I would like to see someone of good character, like AOC, or Jamie Raskin be president.
tRUMP, the murderous felon, and all his malicious magat cockroaches make me both emotionally and physically ill.
Ok, I am pleased to say my prediction failed to come true within the first 10 comments.
Hemi @11…
Now I’m curious what your predictions were.
Doug Wilson is a good reason for atheism, If God really exists would he really tolerate someone like Wilson? If He does, He is not one that I would consider worthy of worship.
What? I don’t follow your supposed inference.
It. No sex, because sex is about procreation.
And you for fucking sure CAPITALISED the assigned gender pronoun.
BTW, atheism doesn’t need reasons, neither good nor bad. It is the default state.
What needs some reason is goddism. Burden of proof!

drewl, reasons presumably included StevoR. Since this post echoes that stance.
