Perry Event Backer Hates Statue of Liberty

(snip)

Rick Perry is partnering with on his prayer extravaganza in Houston next month. Today we have another name for the growing list: Dr. John Benefiel of the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network in Oklahoma City. According to our friends at RightWingWatch.org, Benefiel’s views are so outside the mainstream that he believes the Statue of Liberty is “a demonic idol”:

“Listen folks that is an idol, a demonic idol, right there in New York harbor. People say, ‘well no it’s patriotic.’ What makes it patriotic? Why is it? It’s a statue of a false goddess, the Queen of Heaven. We don’t get liberty from a false goddess folks, we get our liberty from Jesus Christ and that Statue of Liberty in no way glorifies Jesus Christ.”

I've read her a few times and she does remind me of Molly. I love Betty Bowers too. "Because facts are Satan's sneakiest weapon."

6. Yeah, I've come across the occasional reference that the SoL is supposed

to be Semiramis, queen of heaven. Who knows? but the bit about getting liberty (in the political sense) from Jesus is a new one to me...

I guess Benefiel would be happy if we swapped the SoL for a copy of that big Jesus statue in Rio. "Give me your tired, your poor, but only if they believe in me..."

9. This same blowhard minister

announced to his flock that he had renamed the District of Columbia the District of Christ because Columbia was a false goddess and the Queen of Heaven (how many queens of heaven do we need?). He went on to say that he had been asked by what authority he had done that and answered by claiming he had more authority to so than Congress and that the name change would be made permanent either by Jesus Christ when he returned or by the Congress. I remember with great fondness a time when this type of individual was firmly in the minority and hope that that day comes again soon.
