Brad Onishi and Dan Miller delve into several critical issues in this week's Straight White American Jesus Weekly Roundup. They start with a vigorous discussion on the constitutionality of Louisiana's new law mandating the Ten Commandments in classrooms, highlighting the religious and historical contradictions in the proponents' arguments. They move on to address the disturbing allegations against Robert Morris, former pastor of Gateway Church, scrutinizing the broader systemic issues within Christian evangelical circles. Finally, they examine recent incendiary comments by Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, exposing plans for revenge and grievance should Trump secure a second term. The episode concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of these events on the American socio-political landscape.
