"People in Iran are practically getting raped, therefore God sent the notorious rapist Donald Trump to protect them by bombing them and murdering them, and all we should do is blindly follow him. Also, God protected Trump by sending a bullet meant for him into the head of a fireman."
Quote:Trump pastor says Iran war is a 'spiritual obligation'
Pastor Mark Burns, speaking to The Telegraph at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), said, "It’s our obligation, spiritual obligation. If I saw a woman being raped by a man, it’s my spiritual obligation to go over there and to defend that innocent woman.
“There are millions of innocent Iranians that have been held by gunpoint at the hand of this evil dictator, just like what’s happening in Russia, in Ukraine. It is our obligation. We don’t want the fight. We’re not looking for the fight.
“There are millions of Iranians that, again, are shouting thankfulness to [Netanyahu]], thankfulness to President Trump, that this evil regime is now being toppled and being challenged so that they can be free.”
Pastor Burns said that President Trump had received God’s protection from the two attempts on his life, adding that the near miss in 2024 had led Trump to a more serious engagement with his own personal faith.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
