Pastor Frank Amedia is an evangelical leader in desperation to get Trump reelected. He’s so passionate about it, in fact, and so desperate, he’s on video record here warning Christians that if Joe Biden is elected, everyone’s going to go out and beef cows. By which I mean he’s saying they’ll have sexual relations with cattle. Well I hope that he wasn’t exclusive in his mention of cows because that’s extremely misogynistic and what about women? Come on, Pastor Amedia, say it: “Bulls, too.”

Except that, like most right-wing Evangelicals, this guy’s about as smart as dirt. He goes on to say that “animalism” will be acceptable. And widely practiced.

I hope so, Pastor, because the name refers to a philosophy that humans and animals are basically all entitled to rights and that we’re all on this little blue marble for a reason. How we treat wildlife or pets is not merely a reflection of our souls, but damn, look what we’ve done to them. They have a shrinking habitat. Few places even in America for wild horses to graze, so imagine what happens when we cut down entire forests.

No, there’s nothing in what Pastor Amedia says that shows concern for our planet, its wildlife, or anything else.

What the egghead is trying to do is, of course, scare “Christians” into voting for Donald Trump, who is also no friend to nature.

Because if they don’t…

If Biden-Harris wins the day…

People everywhere will go mad and engage in mass orgies in cow pastures.

And the word you were looking for, Pastor, is “bestiality”.

The act of a human having any kind of sexual contact (abuse) with an animal.

It is not “animalism“.

It is not “beastiality“.

Bestiality has a couple of meanings. First of course is the sex thing.

But it also can be used to describe acts or people considered inhuman and reprehensible and those who engage in actions that are especially evil.

For example, Nazi Germany was killing Jews and actually not at all concerned with human rights and thus, those who ordered “The Final Solution” (to the Jewish “problem”) were bestial and those who carried out the executions engaged in bestiality – inhuman and savage acts – and some were hanged after the Nuremberg trials.

But let’s get back to the real problem here.

A Christian can’t be the real thing and support Trump. That’s no longer possible. By now he’s shown he’s not a believer in nor a practitioner of Christ’s teachings.

But evangelicals have recently “forgiven” Trump for his sins. Although that’s really cute, it doesn’t work like that. You can forgive someone who has done something wrong to you, but it is God’s place to do the judging and forgiving for a person’s behaviour toward others. That’s why Jesus taught the “Our Father” prayer, and why the call to repent is important in Christianity. All have sinned and gone astray, everyone to his own way. Only repentance can fix that.

Christ taught us to forgive our enemies. To do good to those who mistreat us. To love everyone unconditionally. To help those in need.

But everywhere I look, especially to the far right, I don’t see any of that. I see false prophets like Pastor Amedia who engage in false teaching, called apostasy, and alarmist pronouncements, to gain political and financial leverage. I see them. I see, hear and read what they say. And it’s all rotten. All evil. Jesus pronounced woes upon the Pharisees because they took money from widows and dressed in robes and prayed in front of everyone like they were just the most pious and righteous people who had ever lived. They enraged him. He called them whited sepultures, whitewashed with lime on the outside, but inside full of dead men’s bones.

That’s what evangelical leaders are. They take in millions from people who don’t know any better. They build megachurches and run them tax-free. They drive flashy cars, fly private jets they pay cash for and they live in mansions. They have affairs outside of marriage and engage in all sorts of behaviors forbidden by the Bible. By Jesus’s teachings.

The result is two fold. First, they lead the masses astray which is a prophecy of the final years of humanity as taught by their own religion. Second, they turn real believers off, making them feel like their faith is something to be ashamed of, and they turn others into believers of a heretical religion. And along with that goes the perception of Christianity by others to be one of a bunch of hypocrites. Many have derided all religions because of this perception and they view Christians as mentally unstable.

Christ warned that anyone who led his sheep astray would be better off with great millstones about their necks:

Matthew 18:6

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 7:15-20 

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. .

Pastor Amedia, like so many others, leads believers astray and tries to frighten them into keeping an antichrist in power.

“Animalism”?

No, Pastor. But at least you do fit the mold of Trump followers by showing off your illiterate brain. Surely something to be proud of. Yes?
