“This is how we should order our lives together,” he said. “And frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you. If you don’t like it, I’m sorry, but this is good and right and just if it lines up with God’s standards, and I am going to enforce my morality on you in as much as our morality is God’s morality.”

“You should always check yourselves,” he continued. “Do I believe what God believes? Am I defending what God says is good?”

“And if it is, then you should have the courage to say, ‘This is how we’re going to run our town, this is how we’re going to run our county, this is how we’re going to run our state, and this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.'”

    Unironically how these people read that list:

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Read: the poor in spirit die first.

    Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

    Read: We will kill those who mourn

    Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth.

    Read: Once the greenhouse gasses are no longer tolerable. We going to Mars, suckas

    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

    Read: killing those who oppose me is what is righteous.

    Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

    Read: we don’t even bully the Mexican guy on our squad, he’s pretty cool guy

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

    Read: white

    Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God.

    Read: kill those who oppose you until there is no more opposition and you will become Jesus.

    Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Read: God needs me to kill ANTIFA

    Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

    Read: you have my permission to kill the infidels.

    Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you…

    Read: don’t question your mission. You and all your pedo friends can fuck teenage girls or something, after you die for this cause.

    …yep. those are them alright.
