More evidence of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) close ties to the far-right fringes of evangelical conservatism has surfaced with a closer look at the board of directors of his ministry, Onward Christian Education Services.
Research compiled by Accountable.US and shared exclusively with the Washington Blade reveals that a judge and minister who have known Johnson for years and are serving as two of the four members of his organization’s board have espoused, endorsed, or been linked to extreme views about LGBTQ people, women, and the scientific consensus on evolution.
Additionally, the judge — Chris Victory of the Caddo Parish Court, which is the First Judicial District Court of Louisiana — has a controversial record on the bench with respect to cases involving use of force by law enforcement.
Scary but in my biochemistry lab which is pretty far along in majors such that the person is likely to graduate. A girl did not believe in evolution because despite all she has learned in classes. religion.
The design of a giraffe’s laryngeal nerve is “intelligent”.
I like that these organizations, which many ex-Christians and especially ex-fundigelicals know about, are coming into the public zeitgeist.
Yes, there are some really fucked up things in religion beyond child abuse, they influence people who vote on laws, and it’s long past time people knew about them.
They don’t like anything that could call into question their claimed right to rule.
Shocker
