Pulling on this thread some more. Eli McGowan's career is in film making in all sorts of roles. He has made a number of short films as the director, including participating in the 48-hour film festival. His wife Emily has worked alongside him, writing many of the films. One that stood out to me as I looked through his filmography was "The Patriarch." Directed by Eli, written by Emily. This film depicts a Patriarchal Christian father that rules over his wife and daughter with an iron fist. He leads them through family worship, he berates them and belittles them. The film takes an even darker turn when the wife overhears the daughter being raped by her father in the other room and attempts to get into the room but is stopped by a locked door. You read that correctly, the father rapes his daughter as a part of his "patriarchal" rule. This pushes the mom and daughter to their breaking point in which they attempt to run away while the father pursues them with a gun, until the father is shot by the daughter but not killed. Cut to a scene where the police ask the mom and daughter how they feel about the father being acquitted. Cut again to the father calmly loading an AR-15 in his living room. And that's the end of the movie. No redemption, no justice, just a "patriarchal" father on the loose, ready to take revenge for the women daring to run away. Let's contextualize all this a bit more. Emily as we've already established is a homeschooler-turned-feminist who relishes in calling out men she deems "misogynists." Eli claims, in multiple places publicly, to be patriarchal. Film is a way to express yourself, to communicate a message to an audience in a creative way. As the writer and director you are the primary communicators of that message. What kind of message are you sending to the world with this film? The Patriarch paints Christian father rule in the home in possibly the worst light imaginable. With no justice served in the end, what is the viewer left with? Nihilism and a distorted view of Biblical Patriarchy. Is this the kind of message Christian filmmakers and writers should be communicating to the world? That patriarchy in its excesses will lead to rape, incest and murder, with no repercussions? This is establishing a pattern of disturbing behavior from both Eli and Emily. From defending a convicted sex offender, promoting fictional p0rn, and producing nihilistic films that portray conservative Christian men as demonic rapist murderers. It's no wonder Eli has spent his time hunting down Christian men online who he deems have crossed the arbitrary line of being "too right wing." Are these really people you trust to perpetrate this moral crusade? These are the stalwart "Christians" that are held up as members in good standing in the PCA? Why are the anons the only ones asking these questions? Where are the Christian leaders? Why did Reformed leaders partner with these people? Watch the clips I've provide from the film, and watch the whole film for yourself (it's only 5 min) and you decide if this is something normal conservative Christians would produce?
