Reactions To Idaho Church With Christian Nationalist Views
A Christian church in Moscow, Idaho, has gone viral due to a recent segment on CNN, where church members openly discussed their controversial views on religion, the role of women, voting rights, slavery, and more.
You can watch the segment here.
The head of "Christ Church," Senior Pastor Doug Wilson, began the interview by directly stating he wanted a "Christian world." "I'd like to see the nation be a Christian nation....I'd like to see the world be a Christian world," Wilson told CNN.
Later on, Wilson was questioned on his decision to open another "Christ Church" location in Washington, DC.
Wilson also expressed his "views" on women and motherhood...
And that's when things became a bit tense between Wilson and the interviewer...
Elsewhere, members of the church spoke about a man's and a woman's role in a family. "He is the head of our household, yes, and I do submit to him," one member said happily, as her husband smiled.
Another member shared his view on voting rights, stating that every household should only get one vote. "In my ideal society, we would vote as households. And I would ordinarily be the one who casts the vote, but I would cast the vote having discussed it with my household."
Another member expressed his support for the repeal of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. "I would support that. And I would support it on the basis that the atomization that comes with our current system is not good for humans."
And one of the most shocking opinions shared was Wilson's take on slave owners...
Over 5 million people have watched CNN's interview with several "Christ Church" members, which spawned reactions from thousands of comments.
Commonly, people were angry about CNN's decision to give this group media attention...
...and argued that churches with these types of controversial opinions should be taxed.
"Why are men so threatend by us!???" Jesus Christ I'm tired," one commenter wrote.
"this is absolutely terrifying and I'm a conservative Christian Republican. they are taking the Bible out of context," one person commented.
"I was raised this way. Married a man like this. Now I'm happily divorced for over 10yrs & haven't spoken to my father in almost 5yrs. Happiest I've ever been in my life," one commenter wrote. "Single and a thriving mother with a Master's degree and an amazing job that I love. F the Patriarchy."
