What does it look like when a Christian church fully embraces right-wing conspiracy theories and merges them with religious delusions?
Just look at what Pastor Brandon Burden of KingdomLife in Frisco, Texas did this past Sunday.
During a long rambling sermon just days after the Capitol coup, he told his (maskless) congregation to stock up on weapons, celebrated a God-ordained siege of Washington, spoke in tongues to give his statements added oomph, claimed Apple would create a national blackout, railed against FOX News and Mitch McConnell for not being conservative enough, urged everyone to stock up on generators and food, and said with absolutely certainty that Donald Trump would be president for eight straight years.
These crazed, violence rousing, so called Christian Nationalists need to be held responsible for any deaths or injuries their cultist followers commit. Like Trump, they don’t lead from the front. They get their followers all riled up then hide behind their religion for deniability when laws are broken and people hurt.
