Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated on the show he was a proponent of the “Seven Mountains Mandate,” an explicitly theocratic doctrine at the heart of Christian nationalism.

Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker, who wrote the concurring opinion in last week’s explosive Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos have the same rights as living children, recently appeared on a show hosted by self-anointed “prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist.

Parker was the featured guest on “Someone You Should Know,” hosted by Johnny Enlow, a Christian nationalist influencer and devoted supporter of former President Donald Trump. Over the course of an 11-minute interview, Parker articulated a theocratic worldview at odds with a functioning, pluralistic society.

“God created government,” he told Enlow, adding that it’s “heartbreaking” that “we have let it go into the possession of others.”

    I tell people that I’m so far left that I make Bernie Sanders look like Ronald Regan. If you go far enough left, you get your guns back.

    Joking aside, the Christians are coming after the LGBTQ next. I wish them the best of luck. I’m not the “friendly atheist” they think I am. They’re gonna have a very hard time loading me into the train car.

    I will protect the women I care about though, and I simply will not be nice about it.

      I love that, at least there’s a few of us good weirdoes in the world on the far far left.

      In Utah the so called “christians” (i.e. hypocritical monsters) are trying their best to eradicate LGBTQ completely, pulling all books that mention such an “abomination” off school shelves, and now disallowing any mention of such things in public.

      So I wrote to the legislatures asking them to come clean and admit the reason they don’t care that Utah has the highest teen suicide rate in the nation is because so many of the teens who commit suicide are LGBTQ.

      Of course they never responded, and the silence was deafening. I obviously said something truthful.

      I’m a Taurus, so I fiercely protect everyone I care about, to the point of hurting others in any way I have to. And often the truth does hurt them and expose them for who these monsters really are.

        That’s a terrifying statistic. I’m gay and I only barely made it out of my Christian family. I knew it was bad out there, but I hoped it was getting better…

        These Christians have got to be dealt with. Talk about an enemy at the gates…
