Let's see a blizzard of press releases from pastors and other Christian leaders, making it perfectly clear that they don't agree with this preaching by Rev. Greg Locke (name him!), and consider it shameful that any of their colleagues would preach this way, and equally shameful that any Christians would listen to it and applaud it. Let's see those same pastors and other Christian leaders say from the pulpit that Rev. Greg Locke (name him!) is a terrible Christian with his sermons full of hate and lies. Let's see Christian churches posting similar sentiments about Rev. Greg Locke (name him!) on their church signs, and on the front pages their church websites. Let's see yard signs in front of the houses of local Christians, saying they don't agree with Rev. Greg Locke (name him!). Let's see a bunch of Christians picketing outside wherever Rev. Greg Locke may preach, along with their preachers and church leaders, protesting him and his message. Etc. Then do the same for every other Christian hate preacher who comes to their attention. There are certainly plenty of them.

Or, they can just shrug and go on their merry way. We can draw our own conclusions from their inaction.

Edited to add: Also, simply claiming they aren't true Christians doesn't count. There's no way anyone knows if Rev. Greg Locke is a true Christian except for Rev. Greg Locke and God.

I think he should be fully in estimated until we find out. It's suspicious how certain he is about this, and why he would know about it in the first place.

At least that's where he preaches according to this CNN article:

His following has grown since December when CNN interviewed him. He preaches under a circus tent twice the size of his old one. He's got big, professional lighting rigs and a restroom trailer. He said he's now even more opposed to the vaccine.

It's the White House - basically the closest thing America has to a castle - of course there are secret ways to get in and out of it when it is attacked.

And it's not like a "child trafficking" tunnel looks different to a security evacuation tunnel.

But I think the larger point is that if you were going to do some illegal shit, you probably wouldn't want to do it in a place covered in security cameras and surrounded by secret service and your wife and staff.

I wouldn't leave him with a pot to piss in or a tent to throw it out of.

What an evil piece of shit. I really like the part, near the end of the video clip, where he claims that if you do not believe what he is saying, then you are one of them too....

I do not, for one second, believe that the man believes in what he says or that he believes in God, for if you believed in God, you would know that you were dooming yourself for all eternity for such outlandish mistruth spoken in God's name.

Carol Burnett did the same thing to the National Enquirer, when they wrote a story about her "drunken" behavior in a restaurant. She got $1.6 million, but she said it would have been worth it if she was only awarded a dollar -- she didn't want to let them get away with telling lies.

Tom Hanks is the perfect one to do this!

Everyone he named should smack that guy hard. Part of the settlement should be a complete and utter retraction on everything from Hannity to whatever goofball is running OANN. He should be required to retract at every single sermon for 6 months.

There's a girl next to him and I can't see anything other than her foot to know what she's doing....but imagine if your new girlfriend invites you to come to church and this is what you walk into lol.
