\u2014Wrote<\/a> that Pete Buttigieg\u2019s acknowledgement of his faith is \u201cpathetic\u201d and \u201cludicrous,\u201d and \u201cHe acts so \u2018holy\u2019 and sanctimonious\u2014Pharisaical\u2014while living out a sodomistic lifestyle…. He is slick. Beware of him. He is dangerous, the worst of all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Declared<\/a> that voting for Pete Buttigieg in the 2020 presidential primary would be participation \u201cin the destruction of sacred, God-defined marriage,\u201d and instructed voters, \u201cDon\u2019t participate in the sodomization & gomorrahization [sic<\/em>] of our community\u2014and our nation. And for the record, hmsxlty [sic] yesterday, trans today, pedophilia tomorrow, and guess what after that. The moral dam has burst.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insists<\/a>: \u201cIf I were Satan, I would want to destroy on the earth the image of God. This is why marriage is such a hotbed issue. It\u2019s more than just the issue of homosexuality. It\u2019s much more than that. It\u2019s much more cosmic. It\u2019s big, it\u2019s enormous…. They want to destroy the very image of God upon the planet,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a demonic happening in our midst.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Believes<\/a> he and like-minded Christians do not have to follow laws with which they disagree: \u201cThe Supreme Court is not supreme, overall. God is supreme. And the Supreme Court has passed laws regarding marriage, regarding abortion, and under no condition do we have to follow laws that violate the word of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> that \u201cSatan\u201d is behind extending the freedom to marry to gay and lesbian couples: \u201cSo if I were Satan, if I were the Devil, I\u2019d want to destroy the imagery of male and female coming together with light and joy, covenantal marriage on Earth.\u201d (0:45-0:60)<\/p>\n

\u2014Said 2012 election results show that America \u201chas stage four cancer.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014On marriage equality<\/a>: \u201cSatan is obsessed in destroying marriage, the coming together, fitting together of the two complimentary halves of humanity\u2014male and female, since they are on earth, a mirror, an image, of what is to be fulfilled at the end of this age. And that is why we are in the battle we are in… It is about the desire of Satan to decimate the picture of God\u2019s ultimate design for the Cosmos\u2014the Grand Wedding of His Son to the Prepared Bride.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Suggested<\/a> same-sex marriage is like a house with miswired electricity and poorly installed plumbing: \u201cAll the people who advocate for so-called same-sex marriage ought to have to live in homes in which the plumbers who built them, or the electricians who built them, didn\u2019t understand the difference between the male and female end of piping or plumbing or of electrical as well\u2026 and see how that home works out for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> if marriage equality passes, Christians must become like Bonhoeffer, a pastor famous for fighting Nazis.<\/p>\n
