A pastor, citing the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk, has called for his neighbors to take down their “Hate Has No Home Here” signs, claiming those messages endorse political violence against people like him.

Yet, at the same time that he called upon his critics to tone down their rhetoric, Andrew Isker escalated his own language, angrily demanding vengeance against those he perceives to be his political enemies.

"When you accuse someone of preaching hate, they are saying I hope somebody puts a bullet in your neck. That's what that means," Isker claimed in a live podcast Friday afternoon. "I hope every scumbag journalist is shaking in his boots right now."

As Scripps News Nashville first revealed, Isker is leading an effort to establish a Christian nationalist community in Jackson County, Tennessee, about 90 minutes northeast of Nashville.

These people are truly sick.

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Guess he flunked logic class.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. And should have flunked bibull college. . . nt

[Wednesdays]

10. You don't need to have a degree to become a pastor in the USA.

You or I could start our own storefront church, just need to file paperwork and have enough $$$.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Sure, and those people or I (dunno bout you) should also have flunked bibull college. . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. A pastor in favor of hate and "christian nationalist". Fits. . . . nt

[70sEraVet]

33. AND, exempt from paying taxes!

Hatred gets a free ride in America.

[Srkdqltr]

4. That doesn't make a bit of sense.

[Deuxcents]

7. Not to me, either. The first poster mentioned logic and I agree..what kind of logic comes to his conclusion?

[mdbl]

5. These moron pastors have made hate part of their tenets

and they don't even recognize it. As Dump would say, Sad!

[PSPS]

9. Oh, they recognize it. They make more money off an angry mob/flock.

[mac56]

6. Paranoia

[Norrrm]

8. I would like to see him establish a Christian nationalist community.

When you finally get a utopia of like-minded people, they will soon split into two main groups of true believers. The main examples would be politics and religion.

Envision power plays and control of the flock.

Freedom of religion. Free to follow our rules.

[travelingthrulife]

36. It's why that Christian dream of 1000 years of peace after they slaughter everyone

in the end times, makes me laugh.

These people are so stubborn and irrational they would not last 5 minutes into that peace before they are shooting each other.

[berniesandersmittens]

12. Up is down and down is up

They take "everyone is welcome" and "hate has no home" as personal insults. The same people, who are so insecure in their own faith, that they stop using the rainbow. cause...gays.

Next they'll be trying to ban "love thy neighbor".

[mzmolly]

13. So he prefers "Hate has a home, here"

signs?

[Timeflyer]

14. Faux Christian.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

15. BEYOND sick!!

[Wiz Imp]

16. The pastor just confessed to preaching hate.

A sign that says 'Hate Has No Home' accuses nobody of anything. It's just saying the person who posted the sign rejects hate.

By accusing the signs of accusing him of preaching hate, he is inadvertently admitting he is in fact preaching hate. Of course, then he had to go ahead and prove it by saying "I hope somebody puts a bullet in your neck". Nothing says "I'm not preaching hate" like hoping people you don't like are murdered.

What a disgusting evil person.

[IronLionZion]

17. Hate has a home with that "Christian nationalist"

[dlk]

18. The pastor would prefer hate has a home?

Who is this guy?

[Javaman]

19. Not the onion nt

[Jack Valentino]

20. 'Christian Nationalists' are neither Christian nor nationalist.....

[DallasNE]

21. Irony Is A Forgotten Thing With These People

And this is exhibit A. Then call someone a “scumbag” without realizing that is a classic form of hate.

[Retrograde]

22. What parts does he disagree with?

Does he think Black lives don't matter? That science isn't real? Women aren't human? Some humans aren't legal?

And he has the nerve to call himself a Christian.

[Collimator]

23. These words from the Scripps article stand out for me:

"[In a video posted on X], Isker derided what he described as 'many foolish Christian leaders' who have urged people to follow the words of Jesus to love their enemies and to turn the other cheek.
'This great evil must not be tolerated. It must be rooted out and eradicated,' he insisted."

Okay, let me get this straight-- quoting Charlie's Kirk's uncharitable rhetoric is mean and disrespectful to Kirk's memory, but quoting Jesus' words of peace is dangerous and evil?


Dude, why are you so set on calling yourself a Christian if the words of Jesus Christ offend you to such a degree?

[BlueKota]

37. I read an article where many ministers and priests

have received complaints from some of their church members that their preaching is too woke, after they've read passages from the New Testament. 🤦‍♀️😮

[SouthBayDem]

24. Did this pastor just narc on himself or something? nt

[pat_k]

25. Doublethink

So, does that mean "Hate Has a Home Here," is a message Love?

That's right up there with "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength"

Doublethink:
The ability to "know and not to know," "to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them". It involves the conscious ability to forget things that are no longer convenient or truthful, and then to recall them when needed, only to forget them again. This includes the act of forgetting the act of forgetting itself. Perhaps my favorite example is when the Party suddenly changes its enemy during a Hate Week rally. The crowd instantly accepts the new enemy and is ashamed for having produced signs for the old one. This shows their ability to "forget" what they just knew and accept the new narrative immediately.

Next on the agenda for the 47 regime: Ministry of Truth

Who's on board with MOFA? (Make Orwell Fiction Again!)

[eppur_se_muova]

31. MOFA sounds like a great idea ! Of course, everyone will confuse it w/Mofo ... but that just adds a twist of humor. nt

[pat_k]

32. That's certainly an expletive that has escape my lips on occasion in reaction to 47 regime insanity! (nt)

[Timeflyer]

38. Trump mentioned Orwell's name during his Windsor Castle dinner speech. Then he burst into flames.

Or he should have.

[pat_k]

45. Yes! He should have! Poof!!

I didn't even think about that when John Stewart showed the clip of the little speech someone wrote for him.

[mn9driver]

26. This is one of two possible things.

1. A dangerous mental illness. He’ll end up doing a mass shooting while complaining we made him do it with our secret hate rays.

2. Taking advantage of the weak minded. Probably for monetary gain. People who do this usually attach themselves to someone else’s circus in order to increase money , power and influence.

I’m guessing this POS is following option 2..

[tclambert]

27. What?

Opposing hate means supporting violence? Lucky those people didn't have a sign that supported "Peace and Love."

[travelingthrulife]

39. And Charlie Kirk taught him that empathy is bad.

[niyad]

28. This is The Onion, yes??? PLEASE tell me this is The Onion.

[Bettie]

29. So, his religious belief

is that hate is a good thing? That's what it seems like.

Ah, neo-Christianity, the religion of hate.

[Solly Mack]

30. Warped minded.

[lonely bird]

34. Sigh

https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/andrew-isker-says-jews-do-not-deserve-seat-table-because-country-belongs-jesus

They have their reward.

[BlueKota]

35. Doesn't sound like the Christianity I was taught!

🤷‍♀️ It's too bad they can't find a deserted island some where, where they can establish their own society far, far, far, far away from the rest of us. Then they and the rest of us could have peace.

Although I am sure they'd find multiple excuses to create new divisions amongst themselves.

[coffeenap]

40. Oh, please. The person who created the phrase

and the poster is someone we know. He did it as a favor to a child. People in the neighborhood loved it and began distributing copies to everyone. My husband was one of the first to post it on his streetside office front door--it was an uplifting, unifying moment! There is nothing but kindness behind this project--the languages on the original were those that were spoken in his niece's classroom. Unfathomable that it could be seen as a threat to anyone, sigh.

[Clouds Passing]

41. 1984 is this weirdo's playbook.

[Parzival72]

42. Projection

This is classic psychological projection. He is projecting his own hate and desire to harm his perceived "enemies" onto others.

[Emile]

43. and they wonder why people are losing their religion.

[AmandaRuth]

44. IDK, here's an idea, he could make it all even steven and post a sign that

says "hate has a home here".
