'Christian Testosterone' Better than 'Milquetoast Christianity,' Says Dave Daubenmire

[Initech]

“Coach” Dave Daubenmire, who pushes right-wing politics along with his “gritty Gospel,” promoted his podcast “The Huddle” in a column posted at BarbWire on Sunday. Like many Religious Right leaders, Daubenmire complains about churches and pastors who don’t share his aggressive view of faith or politics.

“If my email inbox is any indication many of you are sick of the non-confrontational, nicer-than-Jesus message emanating from America’s pulpits,” he wrote. He said that his podcast is “training men, and some women, to grow some hair on their chests.”

Those who join the show believe that Christian testosterone is a good thing. That is something that is sorely missing from the girlie men filling most of America’s pulpits.

If you are sick of milquetoast Christianity we invite you to join our Huddle.

Daubenmire shared the notes sent by one of his listeners after a recent show. Here’s an excerpt:

Fact/Scripture: Jesus commanded us to OCCUPY UNTIL I COME!!!

Intent: Keep the base of operations safe, or expand it for the total reconquest when Outcome: Christ returns leading and to lead his army of Saints IN THIS WORLD to subdue Satan and his allies physically, not just spiritually. …

Comment: MOST CHURCHES ARE NOT CHURCHES AT ALL.

Comment: THEY ARE COLLABORATORS – Quislings, Vichy French, Tories, Copperheads.

Daubenmire closed with another pitch for his podcast, promising those who are “sick and tired of weak-kneed Christianity” that his show is “full of testosterone.”

“God is looking for a Few Good Men,” he concluded. “Let’s drain the wimpy Christian swamp.”

And we wonder where toxic masculinity comes from.

1. Who?

And who cares what he thinks? How many people actually listen to that podcast? I'm guessing the number is pretty low.

I Googled Daubenmire Podcast Ratings

All the Podcast ratings links came up with the term "Daubenmire" missing.

2. I'm betting just Right Wing Watch at this point.

3. Sounds like Mark Whatever-His-Name-Was who ran Mars Hill Church up here...

...before scandal pushed him out. An ex-Roman Catholic with, obviously, some issues with masculinity, he moved to extreme far-right evangelicalism because, according to him, all Roman Catholic clergy were homosexual, while evangelical pastors were Manly Men who hunted and "had sex with their wives."

Personally, I think any so-called "Christian" leader whose belief is that Christianity needs to become more macho is suspect on those grounds alone. If they actually read the Gospels, I'm guessing they'd find Jesus, with all his talk about turning the other cheek and willingly going to his death rather than call down legions of angels to kill off his opponents, to be a real "girly man."

6. That's probably because they haven't actually read the Bible.

Or they just pick and choose what they want to believe in. I'm betting if you told them that, these morons would spin it as Jesus was Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando or something equally stupid.

Jesus Christ was a man that traveled through the land
Hard working man and brave
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor"
So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave ...

He went to the preacher
He went to the sheriff
Told them all the same
"Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor"
So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave
