From Rachel Maddow's Blog:
As Donald Trump threatened North Korea this week with fire and fury, one of the Republican presidents closest allies from the faith community argued that God has extended His approval to the White House launching a deadly attack. USA Today reported:
Texas pastor Robert Jeffress, one of President Trumps evangelical advisers, said that God has given the president full control to take out North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
In a statement to CBN News Tuesday, the First Baptist Dallas pastor wrote that a biblical passage in the book of Romans endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary including war to stop evil.
In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong-Un, Jeffress told CBN News.

are seen in a much different light, the same kind of light that sends cockroaches scurrying.

I mean, whew, that's important to have before potentially plunging us into a global nuclear war. And I used to think such talk from and around GWB was troubling/creepy.

Pretty sure the bible talks about destroying the earth by fire, no?
