Despite the fact that Corsi has long been an unapologetic conspiracy theorist who once suggested that the late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia was involved in pedophilia, Metaxas heaped praise upon Corsi and treated him as if he was a legitimate journalist who was being unjustly persecuted because of his principled commitment to uncovering the truth about the deep state. At one point, Metaxas even likened Corsi to anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer, about whom Metaxas wrote a biography in 2009.
Corsi, who has been ensnared in Muellers investigation reportedly over his ties to Roger Stone, Wikileaks, and the publication of stolen Clinton campaign emails prior to the 2016 election, recalled being questioned by Aaron Zelinsky, a member of Muellers prosecution team, during which Zelinsky accused Corsi of being a liar who doesnt know the difference between truth and false.
I said, Mr. Zelinsky, you dont have any idea what you just reminded me of,' Corsi claimed to have responded. When Jesus Christ was being interrogated by Pontius Pilate, Christ says, I am the truth, I am the way, whoever follows me will follow the truth. And you know what Pontius Pilate asks him? What is truth? And there Zelinsky is telling me hes the arbiter of truth.
Metaxas was aghast that someone that young, in his tremendous arrogance, would dare to talk to you in that way.
It reminds me of the Red Guards, Metaxas said. You find this kind of ideological mania in places like Maos China, the Cultural Revolution, and its a frightening thingthat kind of power in the hands of the young, foolish, arrogant people.
If these ideological purists take over, Corsi warned, its only a matter of time before they ban the teaching of the Bible.
Thats quite right, Metaxas replied. Were there. People need to understand that that threat is very real.

No one is going to ban the Bible, you fucking dipshit. Paranoid much? Oh wait, he goes on Infowars, that's the last place I would look for people of GAWD...

(82,849 posts)That's in his farewell discourse to the disciples in the gospel of John. I'm not surprised Corsi doesn't know that, but Metaxas (who wrote a flawed biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer a couple of years ago) really should know better.

It was after that JC got condemned that things started getting really rough.
