California multi-site megachurch pastor, Albert Tate, says we have “satanic Christians.”
That is a spicy accusation. It has teeth. It has sulfur on it. It walks into the room wearing a black robe and carrying a bucket of theological gasoline.
So who are these satanic Christians?
According to Tate, they are Christians whose positions on issues like guns and abortion lack enough consideration for progressive perspectives. Their views have become “satanic,” he says, because they are supposedly making it all about themselves, their opinion, their perspective.
Then he turns to abortion and says God cares about “the woman and the choice that she has to struggle to make,” and about the circumstances that have forced her to make that choice.
Do you see what just happened?
The baby vanished. Poof. Gone.
One second we are talking about abortion, the deliberate killing of an unborn child, and the next second the entire moral universe has been crowded with “perspectives,” “circumstances,” “struggle,” “choice,” and “nuance.”
