'Trying 2 impeach Jesus too!' N.C. church making news again for controversial sign

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Pastor Tim Jones says the sign in front of Resurrection Baptist Church on Old Concord-Salisbury Road, which now reads “TRYING 2 IMPEACH JESUS TOO! WONT HAPPEN EITHER!" is his way of exercising his First Amendment rights about the recent state of politics.

Jones says that he believes the effort to remove President Trump from office is part of a larger attack on Christianity in the United States. While Jones says he is not comparing the President to Jesus Christ, he believes God put Trump in the White House for a reason.

“As a Christian, there are morals and convictions that we stand upon. And I am not a pastor who will preach it in the pulpit and leave it in the church,” Jones said in 2018, referring to the Kavanaugh sign.

Taking a stand, however, is exactly what the IRS prohibits non-profit 501(c)(3)'s from doing, which is why churches often stay out of the political arena.

3. "...he believes God put Trump in the White House for a reason."

So does that mean that he believes Putin is really God? Strange congregation.

4. Sure, 'cause Jesus separates children from their parents

and put them in cages. Drumpf is only following in his Holy footsteps.

So glad I'm an atheist.

5. The New Christians have already done that

The teachings of Christ have been replaced with their own bigotries.

6. Well, if Trump's ass is kicked out of the White House,

wouldn't that also be God's will? Nothin' 'sposed to happen without His willing it.

8. These freaks ALL share a grandiose persecution complex masquerading as victimhood.

Their paranoia has two primary default emotions: fear and rage. Their steady state is ignorance. Fox, Hannity, Rush, et al have enabled them to congeal into a cult— inflexible, ignorant, abusive, vengeful, negative, and ultimately deadly.

A few of the alt-right-wing’s “greatest hits”:
-“War on Christianity”
-“Presidential harassment”
-“The greatest president in all history”
-“Party (power) before country”
-“Lawlessness okay when ‘doing right’”
-“Free press is the enemy of the people”
-“Whistleblowers must be outed & suffer abuse”
-“Women must have their menstrual cycles tracked”
-“Good to be friends with white Christian Russia”
-“America is for white heterosexuals only”
-“I alone can fix this”
-“It’s rigged, the whole thing is rigged”
-“Deep State is foiling Trump’s greatness”
-“Don’t watch the hearings, they’re boring”
-Blah, blah, blah
