On FB I re-posted “What I Get from Christians...” [FN1] A person I met in Gloucester in 2017 [FN2] [FN3] replied: “I am a Jesus follower. I didn’t know you wanted to discuss it.” Some far right ppl, to grab power, feed on misconceptions about sep’n of church & State. 1/9

Preacher Micah Beckwith [FN4] is one of them. He congratulated S Carolina’s GOP nominee for Gov (who says women should not have the right to vote). [FN5] Beckwith says only Christians can be moral. [FN6] Beckwith wants gun owners to be able to carry w/o permits. [FN7] 2/9

Beckwith wants to protect children “from the woke agenda” [FN8] & says kids “should not be indoctrinated w/the woke agenda in our schools.” [FN9]. Beckwith wants kids indoctrinated to believe in his Jesus and his “God.” Beckwith says he’s a “Constitutionalist.” 3/9

Beckwith knows little of the Constitution or its history.[FN10] His ignorance is scary. His views are held by a minority of Christians even here, yet he purports to speak for all Christians. GOP’s nominee for IN Lt Gov is chosen by delegates at the State convention, not primary voters. 4/9

He’s rat smart. He’s positioned himself to pass off criticism of him as criticism of all Christians. What I re-tweeted is what many Hoosiers encounter w/evangelicals. Beckwith wants Indiana to “join Florida” in “stopping the woke agenda.” That’s scary. Call me if you wish to talk. 5/9
