More on Rev Micah Beckwith’s talks w/his supreme deity should be noted. Beckwith posted a video, on FB, in which he quotes from a Jan 7, 2021, conversation he says he had. God, as quoted by Beckwith said: “I sent those riots to Washington.” 1/5
But wait! God also told Beckwith: “What you saw yesterday was my hand at work.” This should trouble us. From video of Jan 6, documents obtained by the House committee, interviews of & internet comments by insurrectionists, and Court proceedings an image becomes clear. 2/5
God, of Beckwith’s talks, favors angry, middle-aged or older, white people who are racists. The battle flag of the army of Northern Virginia was carried into The Capitol. The First Amendment protects free speech, the right to assembly and freedom of religion, but not insurrection. 3/5
However, I believe the overwhelming majority of believers in a supreme deity would find this supreme deity, one who dispatches white supremacists to “riots,” to be repugnant. This is why we have separation of church and State. 4/5
Clowns are cool at carnivals, but not as elected officials who claim they act on the orders of their “god.” What we mere mortals might want would be ignored. But that’s okay. I spoke with God myself this morning. She said Beckwith’s full of crap. Amen. 5/5
