Religious right activist “Coach” Dave Daubenmire declared on his “Pass The Salt Live” webcast on May 26 that America needs “a more violent Christianity.” He cited President Trump and Greg Gianforte as examples of violent men who are properly “walking in authority.”

“The only thing that is going to save Western civilization is a more aggressive, a more violent Christianity,” he said.

Playing a clip of Trump shoving aside the prime minister of Montenegro at a recent NATO summit so that he could stand in front of the group of assembled leaders, Daubenmire heaped praise on Trump for showing that “he is large and in charge.”

“Look at him,” Daubenmire screamed gleefully while watching the clip. “They’re all little puppies, ain’t nobody barking at him … He’s walking in authority. He walked to the front and center and they all know it, too, man. He just spanked them all.”

Trump’s behavior is an example for the church, Daubenmire said. “The Lord is showing us a picture of the authority we should be walking in.”

1. Dave can dish it out, let's see if he can take it.

2. He's right about one thing.

Donnie Two Scoops is quite large. 😒

3. Is that Daubenmire's way of saying he didn't do the reading?

Teachers and professors across the land recognize the student who's just faking it.

4. "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians"

5. "Leading" gives him too much credit. "Well-known jerk and self-publicist" is more accurate

There maybe be a few dolts who are influenced by him, but you've got to be stupid, ignorant AND bigoted to fall into that category.

6. He's practically swooning

Me thinks he has some surprises in his closet.

8. His son was arrested on child porn charges several years ago.

But nothing came of it:

12. There's something there

Straight men simply don't speak of other men that way.

7. Isn't religious based violence also what we call "terrorism"?

This is the last thing we need right now - is more violence. Make it stop.

9. Trump greater than Jesus

Got it.

10. Gee - what would Jesus do? I somehow don't picture him acting as a bully!

This guy is not Christian,

11. Islam has Jihad. "Fundies" have Jesushad.

Daubenmire is a Jesushadi.

He's a TaliBorn-Again.

13. Some day

we will manage to determine if religion is the cause...or the result...of insanity.
Then we'll have a good chance to cure both.
