Counterflow Podcast: Red States Are Lurching Toward Antichrist with Nicholas from Orthodox Reflections

Nicholas, chief editor of Orthodox Reflections, joined Buck Johnson on his Counterflow Podcast to discuss Red States passing laws outlawing “antisemitism”. The discussion was based on this article, “Red States Are Lurching Toward Antichrist” by Walt Garlington. The discussion touched on the threat this trend poses to Freedom of Speech, how it can affect the Orthodox Church in the future, and why all of this is happening. Ironically, the show dropped the day before the US Congress passed the “Antisemitism Awareness Act”,  which threatens to extend censorship of “antisemitism” to the entire US – not just selected Red States with high concentrations of Christian Zionists.

Here is how keep Rep. Matt Gaetz explained his opposition to the bill on X:

Because the bill is so imprecise in its language, the threat to Freedom of Speech could not be greater.  “Antisemitism” is not defined in the bill. What is or is not “antisemitism” is wholly based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition. That is a very expansive definition, whose rigorous application could outlaw publicly expressing Christian dogma, public readings of  certain Bible verses, and any public criticism of Israel, a foreign nation receiving billions of tax payer dollars. 

So the day after this podcast dropped, the situation got even worse. Just that fast. Please keep that in mind as you listen to the podcast.
