They Said What? (Oct. 2022)

That’s how I know you still poor, broke, busted and disgusted, because of how you been honoring me. I’m not worth your McDonald’s money? I’m not worth your Red Lobster money? I ain’t worth your St. John Knit — y’all can’t afford it no how. I ain’t worth y’all Louis Vuitton? I ain’t worth your Prada? I’m not worth your Gucci?

Rev. Carlton Funderburke of the Church at the Well in Kansas City, blaming his parishioners for not lavishing gifts on him.

We want to take back the country and reestablish a Christ-like nation. A nation where the national religion is Christian. . . Where you will never see a college that isn’t a Christian college. The only college acceptable that you are able to go to is a Christian school because every school in these United States should teach Christian values. Every school should teach the Ten Commandments in elementary school. Every school should promote what it means to be a Christian to the youth of America. It cannot be any other way. There should be no secular teaching in the schools.

Dalton Clodfelter, a white Christian fascist, speaking on the show, “The Right Dissident.”

I think God is using this to bring awareness to people who had no clue what was going on. It’s a battle between good and evil.
