Pastor Ernest

Pastor Ernest a.k.a. Brother Ernest (real name Ernest Perce) is the living embodiment of everything wrong with Christian fundamentalism. He supports a flat earth, a literal Bible, 9/11 conspiracy theories, and is an antisemitic sovereign citizen who believes in a global Jewish conspiracy.Pat Frigden.

==Beliefs==
===Flat earth===
Perce "proves" a flat Earth by showing that both the moon and sun are visible at the same time, a total impossibility for a spherical Earth.Pastor Ernest destroys the theory of Gravity. YouTube, 29 September 2015. He cites , which reads "Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool", and notes that "Flootstools are flat, not round!" He says, "[the] Sun is not 96 million miles away, it's actually within our atmosphere, and even under the clouds". Perce even argues that Google admits that "the earth is covered by a dome"Google admits the earth is covered by a dome. YouTube, 23 December 2015. because of their Snow Globe Google Doodle.Winter Solstice Google Doodle Marks The Shortest Day Of The Year. Search Engine Land, 22 December 2015.
Perce used the flat Earth as proof that God exists.Checkmate, Atheists! Flat earth Van message, Jan 2-9, 2016. YouTube, 3 January 2016. However, in 2019 it appears that Perce disavowed his flat earth beliefs and is now promoting a "concave earth" conspiracy theory.Flat Earth model vs the Concave Earth model, which one works? YouTube, 19 Apr 2019.
===Moon landing hoax===
Perce thinks the moon landings were fake and involved aliens.
===9/11 conspiracies===
Perce tells us that the Jews and/or Israel did 9/11 and he has irrefutably debunked what he calls the "Official 9/11 Jewry Report." Ad nauseam.Former atheist protests the IDF, Israel and the Jews at a Synagogue. Israel did 9/11. YouTube, 24 July 2014.Israel Did 9/11. jesuswasnotajew.org.
===Sovereign citizenry===
Perce also subscribes to typical sovereign citizen nonsense. He proves his point by crudely photoshopping a picture of the United States Supreme Court justices with Jewish stars in an infantile manner. He believes that one can sue police for harassment, stalking, terrorizing and violating the constitution upon any contact. He includes guidance on how to use freeman on the land gibberish when pulled over for a traffic stop.
===Antisemitism and homophobia===
Perce savagely attacks homosexuals and justifies homophobia based on a twisted interpretation of the Bible. He believes that and actress are one and the same, and links this to an international Jewish conspiracy complete with a crude caricature of an Evil Jew.Bruce Jenner Fruit Loop. jesuswasnotajew.org. He is also a Holocaust denier, using a whole bunch of green ink copypasted from internet hate sites as proof.Old Almanacs never lie. jesuswasnotajew.org.The 6 Million Myth. jesuswasnotajew.org.
