Christian Taliban - Taking Over Small Towns

"Religion" operating as political parties to force their views on the population...thought we fought a war to prevent this sort of thing.

Church is showing no respect for zoning laws set up to encourage re=development of tax paying businesses in the town core along with myriads of other regulations. It is doing so with impunity now that it has big brother in DC backing them against the small towns with no dollars to fight erroneous lawsuits brought by DOJ.

So many seem to forget that although their religion prevents them from doing something, it should never prevent anyone else from doing something.

this is who DOJ is backing now. Christian Taliban indeed.

Bondi must be so proud of what she has become

This small North Idaho town kept to itself. Then a Christian nationalist church asked the U.S. Government to intervene

Christ Church is controversial. Its leader, Doug Wilson, has advocated for male-dominated Christian nationalism in his blog posts and maintained that Moscow, a small college town of more than 26,000, is a place fit for a biblical takeover.

“We should want America to be a Christian nation,” Wilson wrote on his blog in 2022. “We want our nation to be a Christian nation because we want all the nations to be Christian nations.”

But the controversy largely centers on what he’s done – namely, co-authoring a book defending southern slavery, speaking at Confederate heritage conferences, blogging derisively about women’s breasts, calling the LGBTQ pride flag the “death and sin rag” in his blog and writing that women need to be “led with a firm hand” and “surrender” to a man who “conquers” and “penetrates,” in one of his books.

Christ Church’s growth in Moscow has sparked controversy as it has slowly acquired buildings and businesses in the city’s downtown core.

The church owns nearly 20% of properties in a six-block area, according to reporting from Boise State Public Radio, including a small college. Wilson says about 3,000 members – known as “Kirkers”because the church was nicknamed Christ “Kirk,” the Scottish word for “church.”

Residents see a pattern – the fight to expand into Troy is just another method Christ Church uses to exert power and control over small towns with scant resources to fight back against religious extremism, said Brian Dennis, a longtime Troy resident and retired professor at the University of Idaho.
