'''Pastor Ernest''' a.k.a. '''Brother Ernest''' (real name '''Ernest Perce''') is the living embodiment of everything wrong with [[Christian]] [[fundamentalism]].

==Beliefs==
===Flat earth===
{{cquote|Planes fly higher than the moon and sun on many occasions|||Pastor Ernest<ref name=SK>[http://archive.is/4hFKv Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing.] Archived from the original at jesuswasnotajew.org.</ref>}}
Perce "proves" a flat Earth by showing that both the moon and sun are visible at the same time, a [[bullshit|total impossibility for a spherical Earth]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNn3SPHKb6I Pastor Ernest destroys the theory of Gravity.] [[YouTube]], 29 September 2015.</ref> He cites {{bible|Isaiah|66|1}}, 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!"<ref name=YFE /> 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 {{sic}} is covered by a dome"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EegXn7GL_w Google admits the earth is covered by a dome.] [[YouTube]], 23 December 2015.</ref> because of their Snow Globe Google Doodle.<ref>[http://searchengineland.com/winter-solstice-google-doodle-marks-the-shortest-day-of-the-year-239066 Winter Solstice Google Doodle Marks The Shortest Day Of The Year.] Search Engine Land, 22 December 2015.</ref>

Perce used the flat Earth as proof that [[God]] exists.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAHPeTCnNwQ Checkmate, Atheists! Flat earth Van message, Jan 2-9, 2016.] [[YouTube]], 3 January 2016.</ref> However, in 2019 it appears that Perce disavowed his flat earth beliefs and is now promoting a "concave earth" conspiracy theory.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26QtM-k_eo Flat Earth model vs the Concave Earth model, which one works?] [[YouTube]], 19 Apr 2019.</ref>

===Moon landing hoax===
Perce thinks the [[moon landing]]s were fake ''and'' involved aliens.

{{quotebox|Soon after seeing the [[flying saucer]] technology, [[John F. Kennedy|JFK]] made his famous speech asking [[NASA]] to land a man on the moon before the decade was out.

Many insiders believed that this was a ploy by JFK to get NASA, and the [[New World Order|secret government]], to release their saucer technologies. Since it was obvious to everyone that standard rocket technology could not getman {{sic}} to the moon and back, JFK may have thought that NASA would be forced to release the knowledge of the technology behind the flying saucers in order to fulfill his vision and get to the moon by the end of the 1960's.

JFK's ploy was therefore intended to free this advanced technology from the insidious hands of the shadow government.<ref name=SK />}}

===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.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyFRsBz7rPg Former atheist protests the IDF, Israel and the Jews at a Synagogue. Israel did 9/11.] [[YouTube]], 24 July 2014.</ref><ref name=jews911>[http://www.jesuswasnotajew.org/israel-did-9-11.html Israel Did 9/11.] jesuswasnotajew.org.</ref>

{{quotebox|ISLAM WAS FRAMED by Zionist Jews in the United States Government and in Fake Israel! [...] Let's get right to the point, it was the Canaanite Jews who did 9/11 not the Arabs (Muslims). The Israeli Secret Intelligence Service is "ISIS," an acronym of the goddess ISIS. ISIS is the Mossad who did 9/11.<ref name=jews911 />}}

===Sovereign citizenry===
[[File:Pastor Ernest Sovereign Citizen website snapshot 20 June 2018.jpg|thumb|right|Pastor Ernest's support documentation for claiming he is a [[sovereign citizen]] comes up a little...confusing.]]

{{cquote|Glory to YHWH, I'm tired of paying Jew-inspections Jew-insurance and Jew-fees to play the drive-game. I am a minister of YHWH's Flat and Stationary Earth. I'm a Sovereign Citizen.  I don't have to have a driver's license, did you hear that? Figure it out yet? You've no need license {{sic}}, auto insurance or current registration, for you are a child of YHWH as you are if you are a Sovereign Man or Woman of YHWH's Flat and Stationary Earth. Stand up for your Constitutional rights for they were given to you by YHWH Himself and by the blood of our Christian forefathers.|||Pastor Ernest<ref name=sov>[http://www.jesuswasnotajew.org/i-am-yhwhs-sovereign-man.html I am YHWH's Sovereign Man.] jesuswasnotajew.org.</ref>}}

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.<ref name=sov />

===Antisemitism and homophobia===
Perce savagely attacks [[homosexuality|homosexuals]] and justifies [[homophobia]] based on a twisted interpretation of the Bible. He believes that {{wpl|Caitlyn Jenner}} and actress {{wpl|Jessica Lange}} are one and the same, and links this to an international Jewish conspiracy complete with a crude caricature of an [[Evil Jew]].<ref>[http://www.jesuswasnotajew.org/bruce-jenner-fruit-loop.html Bruce Jenner Fruit Loop.] jesuswasnotajew.org.</ref> He is also a [[holocaust denial|Holocaust denier]], using a whole bunch of green ink copypasted from internet hate sites as proof.<ref>[http://www.jesuswasnotajew.org/old-almanacs-expose-the-jewish-lie.html Old Almanacs never lie.] jesuswasnotajew.org.</ref><ref>[http://www.jesuswasnotajew.org/the-6-million-myth.html The 6 Million Myth.] jesuswasnotajew.org.</ref>
