Trump-loving evangelicals proclaimed that “God killed those people” who died in the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
One of them is Religious Right activist Dave Daubenmire who approvingly quoted radical right-wing preacher James David Manning, on his “Pass The Salt Live” webcast this morning.
“I love truth,” Daubenmire said. “Pastor Manning said, ‘Hey, we can deny this all we want to but God killed those people.’ He let [the attack] happen, He killed them. And he said, ‘You go back to the Old Testament and you go through that Old Testament all you want to and you know what you’re going to find out? God ordering people to kill people.’ He said, ‘God orders people to be killed.’”
“We’ve reached the point here in America where a lot of people are going to be killed,” Daubenmire said. “There are a lot of people gonna be killed. Why? Because it’s the judgment of God coming on America.”
“God’s going to be killing a lot of people,” he continued. “Now, we don’t like that theology, do we? We don’t like that theology, but it sure seems pretty good to me.”
So Jesus was killed because God wanted it? or because God brings good out of those people’s actions who want to kill what they cannot control…a Patriarchal church, a gunman with an get problem, an evangelical preacher who thinks he speaks for God in his contempt and disrespect of others who think differently. I thank God I will not be judged by these men, but the merciful God who preferred tax collectors and prostitutes to their righteous hypocrisy.
God was displeased with His own creation, even though, being omniscient, He knew how it was going to turn out in advance. To assuage his own anger, he decided that the solution was to send his spirit to impregnate virgin, so that he could become human, and then have himself killed, as a sacrifice to himself. There, now God is happy. Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
considering they were country music fans and probable Trump voters, maybe”god” is pissed he’s president.
Emma said it right on
So when God says Vengeance is mine, we can just throw that out the door and when he say thou shall not kill, we can throw that out the window and when he said that thou shall have no other God other than me he meant Trump Included. God has not said anywhere in the Bible to pick up an automatic gun and shoot and kill massive amounts of people, nor has God said anywhere in the Bible for anyone to take it on themselves to ignore his Commandments and make excuses that it’s Gods Will that Human Behavior Over Rules his Laws. The Christian Right are a Pack of Rabid Animals trying to Justify their departure from the path of the Lord and for that they shall not escape God’s Wrath.
Exactly !
These bastards are even worse than the Pharisees. By leaps and bounds.
What happened to “Thou shalt not kill”?
