LINK Orlando-area faith leaders grapple with far-right views after Capitol riot put spotlight on Christian nationalism - Orlando Sentinel
When a throng of pro-Donald Trump rioters descended on the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to halt his electoral defeat, some wore tactical gear or gas masks, while others used bear spray, swung flag poles or wielded Tasers as they battled with police.
Others came with Bibles. At least one demonstrator brought a large wooden cross, while others toted campaign-style signs for “Jesus 2020″ and other messages purporting that their cause was sanctified by God. Some reportedly described their struggle as akin to the opening salvo of a holy war.

And these same people, talking about a stolen election will at anytime anywhere else say the bullshit line, "It's god's will." Somehow, it is fine for little Billie Joe Buck Jr. to suffer a horrible death by cancer because god works in mysterious ways, but a fucking election was stolen- was god resting his ass that day, it wasn't a Sunday, or a Saturday Sabbath even.
