And not just in Alabama.

Matt Barber & Gordon Klingenschmitt Launch ‘Aggressive’ New Anti-LGBTQ ‘Christian Civil Rights’ Group

Matt Barber, the anti-LGBTQ activist who left Liberty Counsel and created the far-right, conspiracy-theory-promoting media platform BarbWire, has launched another new project, which he’s calling Christian Civil Rights Watch and describing as a “principled and aggressive Christian legal/public policy organization.” Religious Right activist and former state legislator Gordon Klingenschmitt is a co-founder.

Barber and Klingenschmitt are soulmates of a sort in their anti-LGBTQ extremism. Klingenschmitt says gay-rights activists are inhabited by demonic spirits, while Barber once demeaned “one man violently cramming his penis into another man’s lower intestine and calling it ‘love.’” In August, Barber appeared on Klingenschmitt’s “Pray in Jesus Name” webcast where they agreed that it is “unconscionable” that gay couples are allowed to adopt children.

Klingenschmitt, while promoting a new book in October, said Christians must run for office so that the church can “take over the government” and “become the state” and implement the will of God on earth. Along those lines, CCRW says it wants to help everybody “understand reality in the context of the Christian worldview—which is total truth” and to help “return our nation to her Christian moorings.”

‘It Has Been Decided In Heaven That Donald Trump Will Be The Next President Of The United States Of America’
By Kyle Mantyla | December 12, 2017 10:21 am

On his television program yesterday, End Times prepper pastor Jim Bakker interviewed Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, who has born to a Hindu family but converted to Christianity as a teenager and whom Bakker hails as a modern-day prophet for supposedly having prophesied Hurricane Harvey and the destruction it would cause to the city of Houston.

During the program, Selvaraj told Bakker that during the 2016 election, he was called up to heaven and directly told by Abraham that it has been decided by “the council of the prophets” that Donald Trump would be America’s next president.

Agreeing with Bakker’s assertion that God chose Trump to be president, Selvaraj recounted an incident in August 2016 when he was listening to a speaker while attending a conference in California and was suddenly called up to heaven.

“My spirit was called up to heaven,” he said, “and I appeared at the council of the prophets and Abraham was seated there as the chairman of the council. I stood on the right side of Abraham and as soon as I came there and I looked at Abraham, just a little later,
I saw the spirit of Donald Trump appear there and Abraham looked at me and he said, ‘It has been decided in heaven that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States of America.'”

The Talibornagains, the billionaires and the gun humpers. Each group has little in common with the others, except they all support an authoritarian dictator who will pander to their insanity.
