After a lengthy introduction, Pastor David Netzorg — who founded Emmaus Church in Winter Garden, Florida in 2011 — took the podium to start the board meeting on Wednesday night, said government work is "a calling" and government employees "actually work for God."

That whole separation of Church and State is looking more and more like the twin cheeks of the same arse, isn't it?

Edit: it actually gets worse...

"So we're to obey the police, firefighters, government, all of those in authority" Netzorg offered as commentary.

The divine right of cops. I think the US is headed for a dark place. Darker place, I should probably say.

Wait, I thought government was useless and evil?

Government by other people is useless and evil. 'Cos they're not mandated by God. It's right there in the handbook. Next to the bit about how Jews are responsible.

It's useless and evil when the wrong people are in power. If the right people are in power, then it's part of the divine plan of God.
