“Christ is king”

MNW67 · 8 Mar 2026

So, for anyone else who either hasn't read or hasn't understood the full article, I have asked Co-Pilot to summarise it:

“Christ is king” is a traditional Christian phrase that has recently taken on political and extremist associations in the U.S.
Some far‑right and antisemitic groups have adopted it as a slogan, shifting its public meaning.
A religious‑liberty commission hearing on antisemitism became controversial when a member questioned links between anti‑Zionism and antisemitism.
That member, Carrie Prejean Boller, was later removed and has since used the phrase prominently online.
The debate highlights divisions on the political right over Israel, Zionism, and rising antisemitism.
Catholic leaders and scholars warn the phrase is being co‑opted in ways that distort its religious meaning and fuel Christian nationalist messaging.

I've come to the conclusion that many posters participating in this forum are shameless liars.
They'll exploit any and every opportunity to foment hatred.
They are invariably Reform-supporting islamophobes.

It would be such a harmless and easy way for him to prove he is in the UK to take a photo of his clenched hand with a little finger sticking up held against a standard red letter box with the E+R behind it. He wont do it because he cant do it because he is not in the UK
Everyone living in the UK has easy access to this common street furniture, it should be very easy to do IF he lived here.

And you then claimed that you could not provide the proof and a photo because you dont have a smart phone and are housebound with only one hand - that has to be the forums most ridiculous swerve and excuse

Anyway as its now your bed time in your country I will have to wait until 2.30am UK time for your reply

I found it was an interesting but anodyne article which, amongst things, warned about the resurgence of anti-Semitism on the far right and the Christian right in the USA. I was then bemused to find that an article warning about the resurgence of anti-Semitism had been reported by so many posters. All I have been asking is why it was reported. Surely, articles warning about the resurgence of anti-Semitism should be encouraged.

You would think so.

But the article was posted by Odds, which was all the excuse the Adhom Cowboys here needed to organise a lynching.

1. Political figures posting it on social media

Some conservative politicians and activists posted “Christ is King” on social media during political debates. Critics said the posts sometimes appeared right after arguments about Jewish groups or Israel, which made people question the intent.

Supporters said they were just expressing Christian faith, while critics argued it could function as a dog whistle in certain contexts.

If that's the case, then surely warning about the rise of antisemitism in the US Christian right using the term is a good thing?

2. The Candace Owens controversy

In 2024, commentator Candace Owens repeatedly posted “Christ is King” online during disputes involving Jewish commentators and debates about Israel.

Some critics said she was using the phrase to antagonize Jewish critics, while she insisted she was simply affirming her Christianity.

The dispute became big enough that it spilled into arguments with conservative media figures at The Daily Wire.

Then surely posting an article which reported

"A member of the federal Religious Liberty Commission has been ousted after a hearing this week that featured tense exchanges on the definition of antisemitism. The ousted member, Carrie Prejean Boller, had defended prominent commentator Candace Owens, who routinely shares antisemitic conspiracy theories." is a good thing?

3. Online meme campaigns

Around the same period, researchers from the Network Contagion Research Institute linked spikes in the phrase to coordinated online meme activity where users spammed “Christ is King” under posts by Jewish public figures.

The researchers said some posts included antisemitic imagery or conspiracies, which is why they flagged it.

If that's the case, then surely warning about the rise of antisemitism in the US Christian right using the term is a good thing?

4. The divide inside the political right

The issue also highlighted a split among conservatives:

Some pro-Israel conservatives argued the phrase was being weaponized by fringe antisemitic groups.

Others argued the criticism was an attempt to police Christian speech.

If that's the case, then surely warning about the rise of antisemitism in the US Christian right using the term is a good thing?

I have actually been trying to flip it and think of it from the other side, to see if I can get my head around why this particular article caused such a strong reaction amongst so many posters. It has actually been very difficult for me, being such an objective and rational person who enjoys an open debate. But this is what I have come up with:

Consider for a moment that there is a particular poster on here who has, rightly or wrongly, developed a reputation amongst some for being both right wing and hating Muslims. And say that person posted an article which discussed the rise of Muslim hatred, say in Germany, amongst the far left. From a personal standpoint, as a rational and objective person, I would be interested in reading that article and understanding those developments. But what might make some other posters report it. I am trying to get into the mindset of the sort of person who would find that sort of thing so offensive that it needed reporting.

I think this post was just a summary of the article.

So based on the above, and knowing what you know. Would you be suspicious?

I’ve looked into it and the term is gaining use in an antisemitic way.

That's a very good point. It might help me finally get my head around all this. If I were one of those who believed that person was an obsessive Muslim hater, then I probably would initially be suspicious of their motivations for posting such an article. Then, after reading and digesting the article, and finding it completely inoffensive, I would likely be puzzled as to why they had posted it. What would I do then, though. Would I automatically assume that the poster must have been intending to stir up hatred. Maybe I would come to the conclusion that the poster had actually misunderstood the meaning of the article and even though it was actually inoffensive, he must have been trying to cause offence, even though he failed. Would I be outraged at that thought and then report it. I honestly don't know.

It’s been stated by me and other posters that @Odds has posted antisemitism but the mods cleaned it up. Gas chambers etc, etc.

Yes, that has been stated by you and others.

But maybe it goes like this:

Odds posts a valid, non Jew-hating criticism of Israel, or Zionist land-grabbing settlers.
You and other posters are so incensed by this that you and other posters bombard the mods with reports.
The mods, with insufficient resources to investigate properly just delete the post.
You and other posters then start saying "Odds must have posted antisemitism because look - it's been deleted".
