Who is Dusty Deevers? Lawmaker Wants to Make Viewing Porn a Crime,

An ‘abortion abolitionist’ became an Oklahoma senator. The fringe is celebrating its big victory | Abortion | The Guardian, The Guardian, by Carter Sherman, on Dec 14, 2023, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/14/abortion-abolitionist-oklahoma-fringe-victory-roe-v-wade


In a discussion between Scott, Jonathan, and Infidel, they focus upon the extreme views and legislative ambitions of Dusty Deevers, a fundamentalist preacher turned Oklahoma State Senator. Deevers aims to impose his Christian nationalist beliefs through legislation, advocating for the criminalization of activities such as viewing porn, having abortions, and even sexting. He envisions a society where the government is a tool to enforce God's will, dividing it between Christian and satanic forces.


The discussion delves into the invasive nature of Deevers' proposals, questioning the morality and feasibility of enforcing such strict regulations. There's criticism of his anti-women policies, including criminalizing abortion and eliminating no-fault divorce, which are seen as regressive and oppressive. Moreover, his radical views are seen as a threat to democracy, with experts warning about the dangers of Christian nationalism.


The conversation also explores the potential hypocrisy of figures like Deevers, who preach against certain behaviors while possibly engaging in them privately. There's a broader discussion about the dangers of religious extremism and its implications for society, particularly in terms of eroding democratic values and infringing on individual rights.
Overall, the dialogue reflects deep concern about the rise of extremist ideologies and the potential consequences for democratic societies. It highlights the importance of defending secularism, upholding individual freedoms, and promoting critical thinking to counteract the influence of radical beliefs.
