Christian Nationalists Have Decided Monks Walking for Peace Are on a One-Way Trip to Hell

What kind of broke-ass, spiritually diseased people heckle a bunch of monks who are just walking and barely saying a word?

No, really, y’all . . . what kind of degenerate psyche do you have to possess to look at a line of men draped in simple saffron robes, prayer beads in hand, walking for peace, and something in your soul says: this is Antichrist energy?

...

What happened to a faith that once claimed “blessed are the peacemakers?” What happened that some Christians can look at a quiet pilgrimage and see a Satanic Trojan horse and monks minding their business as harbingers of the Antichrist? Ryan’s post exposes the psychological and theological damage of a Christianity that has been so thoroughly captured by fear, nationalism, and apocalyptic fantasy that it can no longer recognize peace unless it’s flying an American flag and carrying a cross in the right political colors

Sounds to me like they don't really want peace. They simply want to pick a fight and be a bully.
