Kevin Swanson: ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Could Lead To Genocide Against Christians

By Kyle Mantyla | June 7, 2017 10:32 am

Radical anti-LGBTQ pastor and radio host Kevin Swanson warned last week that the Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale” is a propaganda effort designed to condition Americans to carry out a genocide against conservative Christians.

“It’s a shocking story and meant for the persecution of Christians,” Swanson said on his radio program. “They create a gigantic caricature of a biblical Christian and then they turn them into rapists, so this kind of thing is propaganda, pure and simple propaganda. This is the kind of thing that happened with the Jews in the 1930s.”

“That’s what happens as a result of this kind of propaganda,” he continued. “It’s not that difficult to get the mob moving in the right direction …. so I think what happens with this kind of series is that it’s going to turn the masses against Christians. It’s the Rwanda thing, it’s the German thing.”

“Remember, the Rwanda media increasingly turned one of the racial groups against the other racial group in the Rwanda genocide,” Swanson said. “That is the kind of thing that has happened throughout history; we saw it happen in Germany, we saw it happen in Rwanda. Now, I guess the question is, could it happen in the United States of America or are we completely immune from any of these particular things? I don’t think we are. I think the influences of Hollywood, the influences of these powerful producers can turn the masses more and more against biblical Christians.”

1. Not everyone watches it;
2. The purpose is not really about Christians but male supremacy
3. It is no where near what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany FFS
4. Who is going to fear Christians from a Hulu series?
5. Does he know that it is based on a book that has been out for decades and not caused any Christian camps
6. What they really want is no criticism or examination of their fundie ways - they call that persecution.
7. It's them who would like to persecute others.

a disgusting lot and turn what might be good about some parts of religion into pure evilness. Even worse are those that support them and their anti-human evilness. They really have some serious mental health issues.
