      And it you want to know what kind of assholes those guys are, this is from the tail end of a Guardian piece on the SACR;

      Brad Onishi is the author of Preparing for War, a critical account of Christian nationalism, the host of the Straight White American Jesus podcast, and an academic with appointments at UC Berkeley and the University of San Francisco. He is also a self-described former Christian nationalist.

      In a telephone conversation he said that the prayers include “coded” references that may function as justifications of violence.

      Explaining the reference to the story of the conquest of Jericho in the book of Joshua, Onishi said: “What happens when the walls fall down? Joshua’s men go in and kill everyone: men, children, women, animals.

      “It’s an attempted genocide, right?”

      "In that prayer they’re saying we’re Joshua’s men. We’re the type of men who trust God,” Onishi added.

      “And when God, when God gives us the signal, we’re going to go kill everybody. That’s what we do.”
