Ammon Bundy: Lying for Jesus, yet again

Ammon Bundy needs attention again, I suppose. After a frenetic summer of grandstanding outside of a hospital, he continues to campaign for public office in Idaho. To help him win the upcoming governor’s race, he planned a September 10th rally at a park in Boise. However, his election committee lied to the park’s governing board about the size and nature of the event. And now, he’s lying about exactly why the mayor canceled his event. Gosh, what a real-deal, shining example of Christianity he is! But in this way, he joins a great many other liars-for-Jesus. Lying about the consequences of their own lying is one of the best-beloved games in his end of Christianity.
Stuff Christians like: Feeling persecuted without actually being persecuted
Christians don’t like actually being persecuted, but a fair number of them like feeling persecuted. Over ten years ago, Arizona resident Michael Salman wanted to start a home church. But this wouldn’t be a normal home church, which is just a few folks meeting in a living room and hopefully growing enough in number to afford their own building. No, he needed to build a 4200-square-foot church building with all the frills. And he desperately needed to do this on his home property in a tightly-packed suburban neighborhood.
Alas, no way would the zoning board approve. So Salman simply lied to them about what he was building. He told them he was making a gaming shed. Naturally, he did not even try to observe any building codes for his project, nor ensure that his neighborhood could handle the increased traffic, security, and sanitation requirements that such a church would need.
When the city found out the truth, they put a stop to the whole mess. Of course, Salman claimed he was totally being PERSECUTED for jus’ bein’ KRISCHIN. Like, all he wanted to do was have a lil bitty BIBLE STUDY. He thought he lived in AMURKA! His lawyer even compared this totally real persecution to what was happening in Iran.
Salman sued the city, but it doesn’t seem like he was successful there. But don’t you worry none about him. He went on to a scam involving healthcare fraud before apparently relocating to Los Angeles.
