I had Grok scan the last ten years of podcasts arguing in favor of Christian Nationalism, and it pulled 329 episodes totaling almost 400 hours. So if you were to listen to them all, that is SEVEN AND A HALF WEEKS of straight listening time. This doesn’t even count articles, videos, other podcasts that the AI missed, any of the resources shared in the 150+ comments on your post, or the books that have been written about the topic—all giving a “robust biblical defense.” Shoot, I can go to my bookshelf RIGHT NOW and pull four books down that do just that. But your problem isn’t the argument, Mike. It’s the men making it. You find them rude, uncouth, and unsavory. You’ve accepted the accusations that they’re Nazis, racists, bigots, and antisemites—the same accusations thrown at them for the last decade for making the very “robust biblical defense” of Christian Nationalism you’re asking for. You’ve bought the liberal frame, you’ve adopted the slanderous accusations, and you’ve willfully participated in some of the outward attacks against these men... not for the argument’s sake... but because you simply think that all of these men are beneath you. These same men have faithfully endured this while you and many others sat comfortably at a safe distance from the difficult edge of the conversation, tossing your occasional tomatoes. Many of these men I call friends, colleagues, acquaintances, co-laborers in Christ... and they have endured almost a decade (maybe more) of doxxing, death threats, slander, accusations, financial damage, reputational damage, and so much more. All for you to call them “clowns and villains,” just like the godless liberals have. So enjoy sticking your toe in the water, Mike. And when your pride allows you to come down with the peasants, let us know. Until then, your string of Christian Nationalism posts are a LARP and engagement bait. Do the reading and get over yourself.
