Ryan Bridge gave Tamaki time in a chaotically managed interview.

During the interview Tamaki issued a bogus claim that "the purge was a word that Modi actually used, in ridding his country of Christians".

Bridge left that bogus claim entirely unchallenged.

I agree it was poorly managed interview, but it was by no means a friendly one for Tamaki.

Sometimes just leading idiots talk is enough to prove they're idiots. Engaging with them is only going to give them a chance to push back or claim hostility.

 

I don't think anyone who was seriously giving Tamaki any credible time of day is going to be swayed by him being scolded on this one point.

I thought today's Secret Diary was quite relevant: https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/07/04/the-secret-diary-of-bishop-brian/

 

Satire:

 

So this is what it’s come to. I want New Zealand to stay New Zealand, but New Zealand is not New Zealand anymore. It’s been Indianised.

 

Sikhs need to be purged. Something has to be done about it.

 

I sat down in the basement and fondled my firearms.

After all that brouhaha Tamaki made the best decision he's ever made and did not protest:

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/protesters-chant-anti-immigration-slogans-as-indian-pm-narendra-modi-visits-aucklands-spark-arena/4O4ZGOBOEVHNXKXB7OC7YKKNKQ/

The NZ Herald video shows the racist anti-everyone group had only 10-15 people all white dudes including two or three in face covering balaclavas. Probably some very ugly people Tamaki has been friendly with lately.

Stunning drag queens sue the very ugly Brian Tamaki for $2m in defamation case:

"The drag collective has accused Tamaki and other church members of making defamatory statements, including that their library events were “grooming” and “targeting our innocent kids with their filth” Lawyer Chris Griggs told the High Court at Auckland last Thursday that Tamaki and the church had not followed court orders to share its communications."

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/drag-queens-lawyer-claims-destiny-church-withholding-private-messages-in-storytime-defamation-case/74MSWBZ5FJEJXJ7LLM3CU46QIE/

There is no active givealittle. I hope they're doing ok with the costs.

The Bishop of Buffoon is at it again.  He's spoken to a hit list of people who should Apparently be feeling the fear of god (paraphrased).

It is possible Tamaki is trying to drown out what looks like some kind of Charities Commission audit:

https://businessdesk.co.nz/article/law-regulation/destiny-payments-to-top-defence-lawyer-coincidental

I don't have a businessdesk subscription but the intro on that article implies to me there is some kind of inconsistent funds disbursement of concern to the comission.

That's weird, I was raised Christian, but I don't remember any part of the Bible that condones cutting off someone head or legs (or any part of their body), especially if you don't agree with them. I do remember "love thine enemy" though. I wonder what Bible he's using? 🤔

I also seem to remember Jesus being somewhat famous for not cutting people's heads off.

Who knew?

 

Evangelical Church it seems knows.
1/ It's easier for a rich man to enter heaven full stop. 
Jesus had a 'hit list' apart from moneychangers in the temple? 
Correction apparently Jesus made up with moneychangers for a large % take. 
Loaves and fishes were not given to the hungry, they need to pull themselves up by their sandal straps.
No sandals, they only have themselves to blame.
Sold on the market to highest bidder, the wealthy eat well tonight.
The good Samaritan was an illegal migrant from a hostile country so delt to.
Jesus, goes Yo, you need someone to throw the first stone, let me get you guys off to a good start.
Jesus kept a large collection of Harlies no Chariots that % cut of moneychangers and loaves and fishes came in handy.
A church of hate is far more profitable than a Church of Love. see point 1.

I also had the misfortune of a Christian upbringing. 

 

I seem to remember stoning, burning, strangulation and the sword all being endorsed methods of execution with beating and flogging as non-lethal punishments. Nothing recommending amputation though.

This passage is often misquoted.  The correct line is "It's easier for a rich man to enter a camel".

Police return to Brian Tamaki's house following 'Heaven's Hitlist' video - to remove his gun safe:

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/destiny-church-leader-brian-tamakis-gun-safe-taken-as-police-investigate-threatening-video/67JBKICNWNAIPFBQSEFE4QPS6Y/

“Tonight we unleash the strike force from heaven,” Tamaki said in the video caption. “If your organisation or name is on heaven’s hit list, you should repent or have fear of God on you. “God has now ordered me to use my apostolic authority to unleash the angelic strike-force from heaven on these organisations and people.”

Tamaki in his sermon said that anyone in the named organisations should leave. I feel very sorry for Destiny members who work in IRD, Police, and the other named organisations. It appears Tamaki may be telling them to leave. That is full on 100% cult leader behaviour. (6:47)

Edit: There may be an exception 'repent' and as such the command suggestion might not include members I'm not entirely sure.

At 23:10- 23:45 Tamaki claims the authority of the Apostle Peter(!) for the hit list and again warns people who work for the named organisations.
