And this guy is a pastor. Not sure if he's read the bible?
So... in his view, one of the jobs of police is to go kill people who are 'wicked'. Great. Sure would be nice if the GOP wasn't completely fucking insane these days.
Until the leopards eat his face.
No shit. Talk about completely clueless. Like dude you realize they still hang ppl like you in some states if you're out after dark, right???
Have you read the bible? There's an awful lot of killing in it.
There's this important guideline said to have been handed down from a supernatural entity , "Thou shalt not kill". Of course, that's not followed in the Bible either.
"Murder. The Fifth Commandment. But, if you give it a little thought, you realize that religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
To cite a few examples, just think about Northern Ireland, the Middle East, the Crusades, the Inquisition, our own abortion-doctor killings and, yes, the World Trade Center to see how seriously religious people take Thou Shalt Not Kill. Apparently, to religious folks—especially the truly devout—murder is negotiable. It just depends on who's doing the killing and who's getting killed."
RIP St. George Carlin
This article says he's a pastor, but upon searching for confirmation, cannot find it.

For fuck's sake Republicans, be better then this.
They don't want to be better. They want to be even worse.
In the section about his personal life, it says that he is sometimes invited to preach at churches. I think that's about the extent of it.
Yeah, and what should happen if "those boys in blue" are the ones doing evil things? Some other group should kill them? Seems like an endless cycle. How/why is this preacher considered a good guy?
