Colorado state congressional candidate calls Judaism and Christianity "demonic"

Well, he didn't mean to call Christianity demonic, maybe he did want to call Judaism demonic like he labels Islam demonic.

Klingenschmitt: Religions That Require Women To Marry Their Rapists Are Demonic

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 7/23/2014 12:12 pm

Earlier this month, India's Supreme Court ruled that fatwas issued by Sharia courts carried no legal power and could not be enforced by the government or against the will of those who refuse to abide by them. Gordon Klingenschmitt was quite pleased with this decision because, as he said on today's "Pray In Jesus Name" program, Islam is a false and demonic religion as demonstrated by the fact that it requires women who have been raped to marry their rapist. "That's a demonic spirit," Klingenschmitt said, "when you force a woman to marry her rapist and you call that good practicing of Islam. I think Islam is demonic so far as it teaches that kind of teaching."

Apparently, Klingenschmitt has never read the Bible, specifically Deuteronomy 22:28-29: 28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

they like to ignore while selectively quoting others books as "the immutable word of god" in trying to make their points.
