LINK Christian Leader Urges Pastors to Denounce Extremism: “Silence is Complicity” | Beth Stoneburner | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
It’s all too common for white evangelicals to “No True Scotsmen” away their brethren who behave badly. Many of them did just that after the insurrection at the Capitol a few weeks ago, despite the fact that some carried crosses and prayed directly to Jesus before unleashing their wrath.
Evangelical minister Rob Schenck doesn’t do that. In a refreshingly honest article for Religion News Service, he rightly explains how this radicalization came from inside the church.

Hmm, now is this Pulpit-Pounder truly being for real OR is he covering his own arse in case the heads start to roll in earnest?
We all know and realize full well how adept they are at twisting and contorting their exulted Biblical Scriptures to suit their OWN ends and means so, WHY would he not merely do the exact same thing here and now?

I'm sure he will soon find himself ostracized as not a true Christian. After all American evangelicals have to follow the one true Lord God King and Emperor Donald Pussy Grabbing Trump. No fake idols or gods accepted!
