“I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here. Thank you for not allowing the media in. Look, I’m a Southern Baptist, I don’t wanna get too spooky on you, But, you know, the Lord speaks to your heart.
“The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me. The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur.
“And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare, but to wait. At the time, I assumed the Lord was going to choose a new Moses and thank you, Lord, you’re going to allow me to be Aaron to Moses.
“I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and in the county at large. God had been speaking to me about this, and the Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready.
“Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ So I waited, I waited. And then at the end the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.’
“Me? I’m supposed to be Aaron. ‘No,’ the Lord said, ‘Step forward.’” – Mike Johnson, speaking last night to the far-right National Association of Christian Lawmakers.
This man is a true believer. True believers do not compromise anything that goes against what they believe their religion tells them. This man is far more dangerous than Donald Trump, who is simply a grifter and was in it for himself. This guy thinks the gods have ordained him. Anybody who stands against him is going against God, in his own mind.
Knew a church teacher who said “the gays aren’t here so I can tell you something they won’t like, they aren’t going to heaven” (said in front of my gay but religious ex boyfriend xD)
Always assume your comments in a group are made with at least one person you’re othering.
Oh man let me let you in on a secret since there aren’t any idiots around… no one is going to heaven because it’s as real as Mike Johnson’s sanity.
If there is a hell, I’m consoled to know I’ll share it with Johnson and all other Republicans. Knowing there’s divine punishment for being as awful as them is almost worth the whole thing being true.
I hope there is a heaven and they spend it in a cloudy church for literally all of eternity staring at a shiny guy in a toga, for ever. I really truly wish that for them.
I welcome the void.
My brother who is a pastor said flat to my face I was going to hell, but he loved me regardless.
“The gays” were well aware that’s how he thought, considering his type screamed it from the rooftops every chance they got.
