Arlington Megachurch Pastor Gene Lingerfelt -- and God -- Approve of Government Shutdown

Just as God led Moses to Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments, so He led Faith Christian Center pastor Gene Lingerfelt to 6900 U.S. Highway 287 in Arlington, Texas, to become the bearer of His Word. As befits the digital age, He has swapped stone tablets for Twitter and timeless maxims with snarky, up-to-the-second political and social commentary.

We present below His teachings on the government shutdown, as channeled through his appointed messenger here on earth. The message has been lightly abridged but otherwise untouched, since such lofty spiritual matters are far beyond our understanding. We offer no further comment other than to say that Robert Jeffress better step up his game, and to note that the agents of Satan must have scrubbed Lingerfelt's Twitter account.

After supporting #ArabSpring, #MuslimBrotherhood & #Al-Qaeda, anyone still think the #abortionist & #infanticide promoter's a Christian?

Because he hates America, Zero will make the #shutdown as painful as possible. Still, except for the media and parasites, no one will care.

The #shutdown is what America gets for TWICE electing a petulant child Marxist drama queen for Pres. (Yes, I used "queen" on purpose.)

With Federal Government shut down, does that mean that my tax dollars will stop being sent to the #Al-Qaeda #terrorists in #Syria?

W/Fed Govt shut down, does that mean that #NASA will no longer be able to work at making Muslims feel better about their Stone Age culture?

With Federal Government shut down, does that mean the Department of Education will have to STOP making homosexual porn flicks?

W/Fed Govt shut down, does that mean that my tax dollars will stop being sent to Public Schools to teach homosexual fisting to 3rd graders?

Can we shut down the Federal Government until January 2017 when the petulant Marxist man-child has to stop taking Government-paid vacations?

When you have a petulant teenage daughter--like Obozo--sometimes an adult just has to take away the car keys.

Democrats can't have rally. KKK rally at Gettysburg Military Park canceled due to gov't shutdown: http://t.co/LVL8avHFkS

Liberals are SO stupid, they are now calling NOT spending money (via Govt shut down) "terrorism." But Muslim rape, murder & bombing isn't.
— Gene Lingerfelt (@GeneLingerfelt) October 1, 2013

Had some non-working Govt-dependent Millennial liberals drop me today & send nasty tweets. Oh well, when you make your own $ you don't care.

Pres O isn't a tough guy. He's the metrosexual who was harassed in school. Now he has power and wants payback.

keep their non-profit status when they continue to preach politics! I am getting to the point where I think they should be taxed or at least lose their non-profit status if they do this. Not all churches do this, so I'm not going after religion. I want it separate from government!!!!

I turns my stomach to see any church leader preach hate, especially a Christian minister as this goes against the teachings of Jesus. But the worst thing is that people listen to these hatemongers and believe them. But worst of all is the extreme nut cases always seem to come from Texas!

"Thou shalt not be an ignorant, racist, homophobic, UNAmerican piece of shit.

'Or I shall cast you into a pit of fire so hot that when satan homosexually fists you, you will hiccup shit & smoke."

And the people said, "Amen."

Sorry you guys, I had to get that one off my chest, even as disgusting as the thought was.

Hmmm, I wonder if the church would like some fellowship with a few highly pissed dems. Atheist dems maybe.
