A CHRISTIAN MEGA-CHURCH PASTOR WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY, DURING
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, HAD TOLD VOTERS THAT THEY SHOULD
ONLY VOTE FOR THE MOST BIBLICAL CANDIDATE IS NOW SAYING HE
WOULD VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP OVER JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, WHICH
SEEMS CRAZY, BUT IT'S THE CASE.
HERE'S A SECTION OF HIS MARKS.
WE SUPPORT HIM FROM THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE I
BELIEVE HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS A DELECTABLE AND COULD
BEAT HILLARY CLINTON.
BUT AS FAR AS HIS WORLDVIEW, YOU KNOW I WAS DEBATING AN
EVANGELICAL PROFESSOR ON NPR AND THIS PROFESSOR SAID, PASTOR
DON'T YOU WANT A CANDIDATE WHO EMBODIES THE TEACHING OF
JESUS AND WOULD GOVERN THIS COUNTRY ACCORDING TO THE
PRINCIPLES FOUND ON THE SERMON ON THE MAP?
I SAID HECK NO, I WOULD RUN FROM THAT CANDIDATE AS FAR AS
POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT WAS NOT GIVEN AS
A GOVERNING PRINCIPLE FOR THIS NATION.
NOWHERE IS GOVERNMENT TOLD TO FORGIVE THOSE WHO WRONG IT.
NOWHERE IS GOVERNMENT COMMANDED TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.
GOVERNMENT IS TO BE A STRONG MAN TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS
AGAINST EVILDOERS.
I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S WANT TO DEAL WITH ISIS AND
EXTERMINATE ISIS.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT CANDIDATE'S TONE OR
VOCABULARY, I WANT THE MEANEST, TOUGHEST SON OF A YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN FIND AND I BELIEVE THAT'S BIBLICAL.
I WANT HIM TO EXTERMINATE THEM.
I'M NOT GOING TO SWEAR, BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO BE MURDERED.
HE SAID AT THE END, I THINK THAT'S BIBLICAL.
AFTER SEEING EARLIER, NO I DON'T WANT THE CANDIDATE TO BE
LIKE JESUS CHRIST.
YOU MIGHT BE A TAD CONFUSED.
THAT'S WHY HE ADDED THAT ON AT THE END BECAUSE HE
REALIZED, OH MY GOD THIS SOUNDS CRAZY.
I HAD TO AT LEAST SAY I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BIBLICAL THING
TO DO.
HE HAS SAID IN THE PAST THAT FREEDOM FROM RELIGION IS A
QUOTE PERVERTED IDEA.
WE MUST BE GUIDED BY RELIGION, OUR GOVERNMENT MUST BE
GUIDED BY RELIGION.
AND HE JUST TOLD YOU, WE SHOULD NOT APPLY CHRISTIAN
PRINCIPLES TO OUR GOVERNMENT.
WHICH WE AGREE WITH, BY THE WAY.
YEAH, I'LL TAKE THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW WHY?
IT ISN'T ABOUT RELIGION, CHRISTIANITY OR JESUS.
PASTORS LIKE HIM USE THEIR RELIGION AS A PROP TO SPEW
HATE, SO WHEN THEY SEE SOMEBODY LIKE DONALD TRUMP WHO, EARLIER
IN THE CAMPAIGN HE SAID, YOU MUST VOTE FOR BEN CARSON ñ THIS
SAME PASTOR ñ BECAUSE YOU SHOULD NEVER RELIGIOUS LITMUS TEST.
THEN HE TURNED AROUND AND VOTED FOR ñ
IS NOW SUPPORTING, LITERALLY THE LEAST RELIGIOUS GUY THAT
WAS RUNNING AMONG THE REPUBLICANS.
THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO QUOTE THE BIBLE IF HIS LIFE
DEPENDS ON IT, HAS NO RECORD OF GOING TO CHURCH.
DOESN'T REMEMBER ANY ñ EITHER OF THE CORINTHIANS.
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON BUT HE DOESN'T CARE.
THIS PASTOR PREFERS HIM TO JESUS CHRIST, BECAUSE THE REALITY
IS, JESUS CHRIST WASN'T HATEFUL ENOUGH.
TRUMP HATES THE MEXICANS, THE MUSLIMS, HE HATES THIS GUY
HE HATES THAT GUY, AND THIS PASTOR ISN'T INTERESTED IN
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, HE'S INTERESTED IN HATRED.
AND IF JOHN CAN DELIVER THAT FOR HIM HE'S LIKE A, FANTASTIC,
I DIDN'T.
EVERYTHING I SAID BEFORE ABOUT CHRISTIANITY, DON'T MEAN
IT, DON'T CARE, IT'S JUST A VESSEL FOR MY HATRED.
WE BASICALLY WITNESSED IN ONE MAN IN REAL TIME WHAT
HAPPENED IN EUROPE LESS THAN 100 YEARS AGO.
WE'RE RELIGIOUS, WAIT WE'RE SCARED, NOW WANTED FASCIST
STRONGMAN.
IT HAPPEN INSTANTLY.
AND HE SAID IN THERE THAT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT WAS NOT
DELIVERED AS GOVERNING PRINCIPLES, WHICH IS GENERALLY
TRUE, BUT HE'S MISSING THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T NEED TO BE
GIVEN AS GOVERNING PRINCIPLES, THEY WERE GIVEN AS THE VERY
PRINCIPLES YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ON.
AS A PERSON, THIS IS HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ACT, THIS IS
HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ACT AND WHAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE.
THIS IS HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IF YOU WANT TO ONE DAY
FOLLOW ME AND ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
THIS MATTER IF YOU ARE IN GOVERNMENT OR YOU WANT A
BAKERY OR YOU DO WHATEVER, THIS IS WHO YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE BY THESE PRINCIPLES.
THE IDEA THAT ONCE YOU ENTER OFFICE ALL OF THESE VALUES
GO OUT THE DOOR SO YOU CAN START KILLING PEOPLE, THAT'S CRAZY.
AND YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME, YOU CAN LISTEN TO JESUS
CHRIST BECAUSE HE WAS 100% AGAINST THAT.
YOU HEARD IN THAT TAPE, HE SAYS GOVERNMENT IS TO BE A
STRONG MAN.
WHILE YOU WOULD'VE LOVED MANWELL NORIEGA, YOU HAVE LOVED
SADDAM HUSSEIN, MUAMMAR GADDAFI.
THEY WERE ALL STRONGMEN, YOU WOULD'VE LOVED THAT.
THEY HAD THE TRAPPINGS OF RELIGION TOO WITHOUT
ACTUALLY BELIEVING, A COUPLE OF THEM DID.
HERE'S A GUY WHO TOLD US OUR WHOLE LIFE THAT WE SHOULD
BE GUIDED BY CHRISTIANITY, WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION AND
WE SHOULD BE GUIDED BY THOSE PRINCIPLES.
NOW TURNING AROUND AND SAYING THAT GUY HATES SO MANY
PEOPLE AND I AGREE WITH THAT, SO I DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF THAT,
WE SHOULD NOT BE GUIDED BY CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES AS
LONG AS THIS GUY HATES THE SAME PEOPLE I HATE.
