A transgender pastor from North Dakota has compared the treatment of Nashville shooter Audrey Hale to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ less than a week after the twisted killer murdered six people, including three nine-year-old children.
Micah Louwagie, who goes by they/them pronouns, was recently installed as the pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Fargo, and delivered their first Easter-themed sermon to a small congregation on April 2.
Officials are yet to release a motive for the slaying of victims Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Evelyn Dieckhaus, all 9, and headmistress Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and chef Mike Hill, 61 when Hale opened fire last week at The Covenant School.
Footage of the sermon shows Louwagie reading the Biblical account of the crucifixion followed immediately by the massacre at The Covenant School in Nashville.
'Instead of focusing on ways this could've been prevented, such as gun control, a significant number of people have turned their attention to the shooter's identity,' the pastor said.
'Instead of focusing on the number one cause of child death in this country is now gunshot wounds.
'Some folks have tried to focus on eradicating trans people as a solution, because they have been waiting, just waiting for an opportunity such as this. They've been waiting for a reason, any reason to stoke their hatred.
The pastor goes on to slam 'allies' who abandon or 'betray' transgender people likening that to Jesus' disciples who fled when he was arrested.
'Marginalized folks, those of us with the least amount of privilege and power, they need those who have more privilege and power than they do to physically place their bodies between them and the people, powers and institutions that are literally killing them,' Louwagie said in the shocking sermon.

Not surprising as It’s insane.
I grew up in North Dakota, it used to be a good solid conservative minded state. What the hell’s going on over there? Too many Minnesotans moving there? Just like Massachusetts people moving to New Hampshire?
The Lake awaits.
Sick and demented.
Louwagie does not have the least idea whether or not Audrey Hale was supported in her desire to change gender.
Jesus didn’t think, “I hurt, therefore the world must bleed.” He shed His blood for this poor hurting, sinful world.
If the church fires Louwagie, and they should, what does Louwagie plan to do about it?
I wonder if they thinks Jesus should have come off the cross guns blazing.
A “Hale” of bullets, so to speak.
Micah Louwagie, who goes by they/them pronouns, was recently installed as the pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Fargo, and delivered their first Easter-themed sermon to a small congregation on April 2.The "small congregation" probably only consisted of pastor Louwagie themselves.
The Devil is licking his chops to greet this stupid guy at the Gates of Hell.
