Televangelist Jim Bakker is predicting that Christians would begin a second civil war in the U.S. if President Trump were impeached.

"If it happens, there will be a civil war in the United States of America. The Christians will finally come out of the shadows, because we are going to be shut up permanently if we're not careful," he said on "The Jim Bakker Show" in a clip highlighted by Right Wing Watch.

1. Bullshit.

Clearly, they're going to be hiding in the basement with the tasty pantry deluxe "time of trouble" bucket.

"Are you kidding Mulva? i spent $2800 on this! i dont care if it tastes like sawdust, you and elijah and nevaeh and the rest of the quiver are gonna EAT IT!"

[Archae]

2. Good article here about Bakker, his past, and his current antics.

And a rather savage review of his awful "survival" food.

Sorry it's the Daily Fail, though.

3. Send in $1000 get your packet of Civil War Koolaid too!

This is incitement.

[CousinIT]

4. These fake Christian "evangelicals" are part of the UNHOLY Trinity

5. Rambo Jesus would have done the same thing... nt

[BeyondGeography]

6. And calls to 855-For-Truth will go through the roof

Yawn.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Neah neah-neah neah neah booga booga booga. . .

[oberliner]

8. The Christians are in the shadows?

So weird that people think this.

[HopeAgain]

9. A threat of insurrection?

Sounds like it to me...

[Solly Mack]

10. in the shadows being told to shut up, says the man who has been on TV/radio for most of his life

promoting his ignorance.

[Mariana]

23. Well, don't expect the Christians who listen to him

to notice that little discrepancy between his statement and reality.

[Solly Mack]

42. I don't.

[Stargazer99]

11. I am damn sick and tired of fundmentalist demanding that everyone be forced by government

to conduct their lives according to the fundie view. I repeat Christ NEVER joined government to force people to his way and it is about time you fundies learn from your Master instead of employing your human ego (which the Good Book warns you about functioning from ego) And if it means civil war then fine ....come on.

[FiveGoodMen]

56. "Christ NEVER ..."

Christ is a brand name to them. A flag to rally 'round.

No one hates the words and actions attributed to Jesus more than evangelical 'christians'.

[NurseJackie]

12. No they won't.

[Orrex]

13. Extortion.

[C_U_L8R]

14. Christians? Those aren't Christians.

And neither are you, Bakker.
You vile profiteering bullshit preacher.
We know your kind and the rubes you've suckered.
Bring it and get beaten back to the sulfurous pit you came from.

[FiveGoodMen]

58. But they're what passes for christians here

They're the ones with the collection money, the political clout, the assumption of good intentions.

Question I keep asking: Does the word Christian refer to people who act in the way that Jesus would have approved of? Or does Christian mean the group of people who self-identify as such?

[GulfCoast66]

62. Choice #2

Jesus was a Jew who was killed for rousing the public. If he really existed.

Christians are people following a religion started by Paul that morphed into the defining belief in the west for the past 1500 years. Evangelical Christians are honest descendants of generations of Christians willing to oppress or kill those who do not share their faith.

Have a nice evening.

[Setsuna1972]

15. Is this type of statement legal?!

Attempting to incite a civil war doesn't seem like a Christian thing to me...at least not from what I learned in Sunday School !

[HughBeaumont]

16. Oh good.

I was wondering when Americans would wake up and stop taking myth-addicted, hope-dope selling, Birther Prepper felons seriously.

Oh. Sorry. I see we're still . . . . doing it . . .

[longship]

18. Buy my buckets of slop!!! Link to a chef's review...

[meow2u3]

41. Yech!

It not only looks like puke, it makes me want to puke!

[FrodosNewPet]

49. I thought the true believers were going to be raptured before the tribulation?

The true apocalypse would be having to eat that crap.

[Warren DeMontague]

69. TASTY PANTY DELUXE BUCKET

[spanone]

19. hey bakker, go back to prison.

[KG]

20. seditionist

[Oneironaut]

21. lol What a fraud. I bet he jumped into a $100,000 sports car to get home to his mansion.

All bought with other people's money. He fleeces the poor to enrich himself. just like Jesus would have done!

[tanyev]

22. The shadows, lol.

Reminds me of a song, "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?"

[Beartracks]

35. Yes, for a "silent majority" they sure do complain a lot. n/t

[MindPilot]

59. One of my co-workers wrote a country song called Shrinking

"If it looks like I'm shrinking that's cuz I'm walkin' away from you"

[tanyev]

72. That's it! Thx for posting.

[rock]

24. Clearly, he has a high regard for the Christians since they have no sense of Law and Order

[tavernier]

25. Odd, since he doesn't know any real Christians.

Maybe he was thinking of Klingons.

[hunter]

44. Klingons have honor...

... Bakker and Bakker brand "Christians" not so much.

[Johnny2X2X]

26. Pure evil

Baker is evil.

He knows Trump is not even a Christian, this is purely based on greed. Society needs to start taxing religious leaders because scum like Baker and Osteen are the rule rather than the exception now.

[Initech]

27. These people are completely insane.

And they're getting worse by the day.

[Thomas Hurt]

28. hmmm (sniff, sniff) smells like sedition to me.

of course it is only speech, near as I can tell, but he sounds an awful like those "radical muslims" the right says are ignored.

[sinkingfeeling]

29. I think he means fake christians.

[haveahart]

30. It will begin by throwing all the televangelists in prison.

[dembotoz]

31. Disaster pseudo food sold to the gullible..like the NRA promoting gun sales

Conservatives want to control how the poor spend cash, but for themselves???
Sucker born every minute
Only thing he believes in is his balance sheet

[MineralMan]

32. What a crock! That person must be talking about some very special

group of so-called "Christians." Losers, every one of them.

[n2doc]

33. Nah. Too fat and lazy. n/t

[malaise]

34. They can't even wipe their dirty assholes and they're starting a

civil war - fugg off with that.

[raven mad]

36. Where's Tammy Faye?

[FrodosNewPet]

48. She died a while ago

She was entertaining, in a campy way.

I don't watch the current show, except for bits and pieces since this story broke, but his current wife seems a lot more of a boring stereotypical blonde pastor's wife.

[customerserviceguy]

37. Hmm, I was hoping he was dead

after all this time, since I haven't heard anything from him since he and his charlatan wife got kicked out of their abusement park.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. As A Few Have Said Already. . .

. . .no they won't. Nonsense.

[OldHippieChick]

39. Ditto all of the above, plus

who the hell are they going to fight? How will they know the enemy? Will they go into churches and force people to take a gun and go shoot those who are not in the churches? LOL! I could go on as this is getting funnier and funnier as I imagine this ...

[Squinch]

40. Didn't he also saying he wasn't embezzling millions from his church? Not a good track record for

reliability.

[NastyRiffraff]

43. "Christians will come out of the shadows"

What? When were they ever IN the shadows? It would be cool if they were, though. I wish Christians like Bakker would go permanently in "the shadows."

[maveric]

45. Sounds like a terrorist threat to me. A parole violation?

[Alea]

46. Nothing will happen. Christians would probably rather have Pence

There will be trump rallies and protest as the lock him up movement turns out in force. Antifa will throw piss balloons and neos will punch people, but the last trump rally will be 3 or 4 people in a gazebo with tattered maga hats surrounded by counter protesters chanting lock him up, and trump claiming biggest crowd ever.

[workinclasszero]

47. See ya on the front line Jim

Can these reich wing deplorables mount machine guns on their walkers/electric scooters?

[ProudLib72]

50. In the year 2117

I'm sure we are going to be arguing about whether or not to remove statues of General Bakker.

[montanacowboy]

52. Please proceed

asshole

[anneboleyn]

53. This asshole should be in jail

[GReedDiamond]

68. Scumbag had been originally sentenced to 45 years and $500,000 fine...

...but on appeal, the fine was removed and the prison sentence cut to 8 years, of which he served under 5 years.

The original sentence was the correct one.

[Pachamama]

54. He's alive?

Seriously.....I thought he died a long time ago....

I know Tammy Faye was gone....guess I just confused his relevancy and that he still sucks in any oxygen...

[cloudbase]

55. He'll no doubt be out front

leading the charge.

[DFW]

57. But what if he resigns voluntarily?

Will Christians then all go to bed and not wake up for twenty years?

[Runningdawg]

60. Christians won't start a civil war

they know they will loose. Its not their style and most are in too bad of shape to pull it off. However there are enough to make parts of America look like N Ireland 30 years ago.

[struggle4progress]

61. "With this civil war acoming, you all want to sure now to buy our survival food packs!"

[Blue Owl]

63. And your side will lose

n/t

[edbermac]

64. And who won the first Civil War, Jimbo?

It would be so funny to see you morons get your asses kicked again.

[xor]

66. Amazes me how anyone who considers themselves a Christian could support Trump

Anyway, if this is a common feeling among Christian conservatives (not sure?), then it really shows that they have no respect for the nation and its laws. They are by far the largest anti-american threat we have in our country today. They have large numbers and they are well armed. If the continue talking like that then they will continue to be viewed as an increasing threat. Far greater than the relatively small number of Islamic extremists or militant far-leftists in country.

*If you're reading this and you're a conservative who seriously thinks you might take up arms because you don't think your guy should face the same rules that were used to impeach Clinton, then please think twice before becoming a terrorist simply 'cause your guy is a moron that no sane rational person wants in office. Let our system work it out. Don't be an anti-american asshole... Do you really want to be compared to Osama Bin Laden? You'll be the same. There won't be any statues of you made. No holidays celebrating you or your terrorist acts. You will go down as Trump's terrorists and that's about it.

[kairos12]

67. Beat the supporters of civl war once. Go for two?

[miyazaki]

70. At the sign of triumph Satans host doth flee!

[jalan48]

71. Just because he calls himself a Christian doesn't mean he is one.
