In a recent panel discussion, the topic centered around controversial remarks made by Pastor Joel Webon of Covenant Bible Church in Texas, who suggested that executing women accused of lying about sexual assault could end the #MeToo movement. The panelists expressed disbelief at his extremist views, emphasizing the lack of empathy and critical thinking in such statements. They debated the effectiveness of the death penalty in deterring crime, questioning Webon's motivations and the underlying Christian nationalist ideology. The discussion also highlighted the importance of distinguishing between religious freedom and public safety, arguing that the safety and rights of individuals, particularly women, should take precedence over harmful religious beliefs.

The conversation shifted to the media's portrayal of Webon's statements, critiquing sources that sensationalize without providing necessary context. Panelists agreed that shining a light on such extremist views is essential for fostering discussion and understanding the implications of hate speech within religious communities. They concluded that while these ideas are unlikely to disappear, raising awareness and engaging in thoughtful discourse are vital in combating such ideologies.
