“Today’s episode explores the intersection of Christian nationalism and American politics, focusing on a scenario where the US tax code is rewritten based on biblical interpretations, disproportionately impacting women. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, critiques this hypothetical policy and similar manifestations of Christian nationalism, arguing that it distorts Jesus's teachings and promotes exclusion and hierarchy. The analysis examines historical and theological interpretations of Jesus's life and message, contrasting the actions of Christian nationalists with the historical Jesus, including Gnostic perspectives. Ultimately, the piece serves as a condemnation of the political weaponisation of religious beliefs, highlighting the dangers of this movement and advocating for resistance against its influence.”
