On February 28, 2006, Donald Trump, the President of the United States and putative Leader of the Free World, initiated a large-scale aerial assault on the sovereign nation of Iran.

This immoral, illegal, and unjustifiable war has claimed the lives of over a thousand Iranian civilians, and it has spiraled out-of-control, ignited a regional war and blown up the world economy.

As the US-Israeli war against Iran enters its seventh day, you would think Christian ministers would be faithful to their prophetic ministry, speak truth to power, and condemn Trump and Netanyahu for their bloodthirst, and speak out on behalf of defenseless victims.

Instead, evangelical leaders made a pilgrimage to the White House to lay hands on the warmonger commander-in-chief. Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino circulated a video of this appalling and sacrilegious event. The footage of these prominent white evangelical leaders gathered around Trump with eyes closed in supplication almost made me vomit.

Pastor Tom Mullins pleaded:

“I pray for your grace and your protection over him. I pray for your grace and protection over our troops and all of our men and women serving in our armed forces.”

Mullin pleads with God to protect the pedophile president who is raining bombs and missiles on a defenseless population. How about a word or two for protection over the innocent civilians in Iran and Lebanon?

I beseech God to smite the White House with an errant missile while these evangelical clowns are praying for Trump.
