This could have gone into more active threads, but I think it fits in well here. It makes the compelling argument that Christian nationalism (now driving draconian legislation on gender) is not a reasoned position, but one of visceral sentiment. This makes it very hard to address.

excerpt:
The visceral nature of this opposition [to normalizing TGNC] is the source of its resistance to factual counter-evidence. This recalcitrant resistance lies in the perception, within the Christian nationalist social imaginary, that TGNC youth simply ought not to be. The threat they pose to the Christian nationalist social order is simply too great to be registered as anything other than an existential threat.

I just do not know why they feel so threatened. They are not comfortable enough with their sexuality that someone that swings another way makes them feel like saying to themselves, "Maybe I might like swallowing." Or "Carpet munching is a great way to stay slim."This could have gone into more active threads, but I think it fits in well here.

Evangelical religion has an Alamo mentality built in: they are heroes manning the ramparts of the fortress of the one true way against the devil’s hordes. Embracing that concept yields a visceral reward that is hard to overcome.
More directly regarding sex and sexuality: these are given to us (by a loving yet very stern god) as temptations, and the only good approach is to exploit those drives in acts of self-denial as spiritual training. It’s a messed-up Stockholm-syndrome emotional/cognitive trap.

Those people are serious about ending democracy in this country. Project 2025 is part and parcel of Agenda 47, Trump's sweeping wish list to remake America into his fiefdom.this.

Don't believe what you read in the Constitution. Trump will tell you what it really means.

Somehow I don't think Christ would be giving these guys a thumbs up.‘You better pray’: Christian nationalist groups are mobilizing before the 2024 elections | The far right | The Guardian

He'd probably be giving dad a call and telling him to smite their sorry asses.
Most of these so-called christians haven't read the bible if they can read at all but sure like to pretend they know what it's all about.

Much hard-evangelical doctrine directly violates the recorded sayings of Jesus. Diametrically.Somehow I don't think Christ would be giving these guys a thumbs up.

Following the teachings of Jesus would block them from practicing the sort of cruelty on which they currently thrive.
As for smite, I remind myself that vengeance belongs to another.
