691: The Antichrist, Illiberalism, & Why Gen Z Accepts Political Violence with Elizabeth Neumann (Ad-Free)

Listen to this episode from Holy Post Plus Podcast Feed on Spotify. In a series of invitation-only, off-the-record lectures about Christianity, technology billionaire Peter Thiel said the antichrist is trying to regulate technology and billionaires. Which raises the question—Why do we always remake Christ in our image and the antichrist in our enemies’? Gen Z is making conservative Christianity more angry, intolerant, and illiberal. What’s fueling the younger generation's interest in religious fundamentalism? Counter-terrorism expert Elizabeth Neumann is back to discuss the rising acceptance of political violence among young adults and why she expects things to get worse before they get better. Also this week—the fishy origin of fingers.Links Mentioned in News Segment:Peter Thiel and the Antichrist:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/13/antichrist-peter-thiel-michiganAre Fingers Just Long Butts?https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/human-finger-regulatory-genes-originally-fish-cloaca-buttGen Z Conservatives:https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/opinion/gen-z-conservative-christianity.htmlOther Resources:Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/Holy Post Plus: www.holypost.com/plusHoly Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypostHoly Post Merch Store: https://www.holypost.com/shopThe Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
