The last prayer in at the end, where they’re talking about what they want if they win, is the most chilling:
“Be afraid,” Tenney said. “For rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. And when Donald Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States, there will be retribution against all those who have promoted evil in this country.”
pretty bleak choice of words for a pastor. it makes you ask as to why go for fear as propaganda when there’s better verses out there for hope, healing, and unity.
the conversations/ responses in this article reminded me of another kinda related one explaining why pride is the greatest capital sin.
Because fear and anger cause people to take action. Hope, healing, and unity et. al don’t create as much action. Especially not donations to make the scary thing (potentially) go away.
