For my God is an angry, mean-spirited, vindictive God...and he knows where you live

Pastor John Hagee urged Christians to get out and vote and made it abundantly clear that he’ll be casting his vote for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in November. After mangling Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s famous “not to speak is to speak” quote and falsely attributing it to Martin Niemöller, Hagee informed his viewing audience that “God will not hold us harmless” and so they have an obligation to vote…. “I’m going to vote for the candidate that’s going to make the U.S. military great again,” he said. “I’m going to vote for the party that is going to solve the immigration problem, not the one that has created the immigration problem. I’m going to support the party that brings jobs back from China … I’m not going to vote for the party that has betrayed Israel for the past seven years.”

If you’re naive enough to believe that your God is a loving, kind, forgiving, and generally benevolent Supreme Being…well, you’re in for a helluva surprise, Cupcake. You remember Jesus, the Son of God? The one who fed the hungry, clothed the poor, and healed the sick? Yeah, it seems touchy-feely Jesus just wasn’t getting it done for today’s authoritarian hyper-Christian zealots, who believe charity only enable freeloaders and encourages dependency. They want nothing to do with “socialist Jesus.” And that whole “turn the other cheek” thing? Yeah, turns out that today’s American Taliban doesn’t take $#!& from anyone. Strike them, and rest assured they’ll kick your ass from here to Sunday morning…at which time they’ll happily pray for your immortal soul.

The Rev. John Hagee, High Priest and Chief Executioner of John Hagee Ministries, isn’t one of those namby-pamby, bleeding-heart Liberal Christians who believes in loving thy neighbor. No, his God is an angry, cantankerous deity as likely to smite you as love you. Hagee’s God is a Conservative, kill-‘em-and-grill-‘em Republican who gives no quarter and shows no mercy to those who don’t recognize America to be divinely ordained to rule the world.

As Hagee will surely tell you, his God will not look kindly on those who don’t vote Republican- AND HE KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE.

Consider yourself warned.
