RE: Does this guy really think that a prayerful church would send in a team of killers?
Is that what you think the phrase ‘raise up mightily’ means?
Steele is making the “moral equivalency” argument that given the same situation, Evangelicals would have a serious problem with it. What he implies is that Evangelical anger (”Rising up mightily”) is the same as Muslim anger (”Armed assault and massacre”).
They are not the same. There’s a rather large difference between arguing, debating, yelling, protesting, contacting advertisers etc...and attacking the magazine offices with machine guns.
