Radical right-wing pastor Kevin Swanson was not impressed with yesterdays nationwide walkout in which thousands of students left school to protest gun violence in the wake of the mass shooting last month at a Florida high school, saying that the fact that the movement is being led by young people is a sign that America is under the judgment of God.
On his Generations radio program today, Swanson read a passage from Isaiah in which God threatened to punish Judah by warning that I will give children to be their princes and babes shall rule over them.
This is the curse that God places upon nations, Swanson said. The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor. The child will be insolent toward the elder and the base towards the honorable. As for my people, children are their oppressors and women shall rule over them. Oh my people, those who lead you cause you to err and destroy the way of your paths.
In other words, the young folks have all this revolutionary zeal but no real wisdom to govern what they are doing, he said. This is the result of the breaking of the commandment of God. Things are not going well with us in the land, we are not seeing things going well for tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people across the country largely because the massive violation of the Fifth Commandment: Honor your father and your mother.

He calls for them to be killed, repeatedly.

He should be locked in a mental institution - he can preach his hate to padded walls.

So he goes for ad hominem with a side order of bad theology.
Kevin? If you want to see kids getting programmed by their parents to do and say utter nonsense, may I direct your attention to Tahnee Gonzales and Elizabeth Dauenhauer? Anything to say about them?

As it is, we're in a world of hurt because of assholes like this guy, claiming to speak for Jesus.
