“God is going to deal with it,” a neighbor of the pastor told a local reporter. But then, if God has been taking care of things, why did God allow a child to be sexually attacked by a Christian preacher?

The Palatka Christian attack was not an isolated incident.

The pastor of the 2/42 Community Church in Livingston County, Michigan admitted that he had been watching people through a secret camera he put in the church’s bathroom, and trafficking in child pornography. He pleaded guilty to fifteen criminal charges, including tampering with evidence, child sexually abusive activity, using a computer to commit a crime, possession of child sexually abusive material, and surveilling an unclothed person.

A few days earlier, a youth pastor at a church in Sunnyside, Washington was arrested and charged three counts of third-degree child rape and a single count of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, after he was caught sending an electronic message to a 15 year-old, telling the minor to prepare to have sex with him.

A couple of days after that, the pastor of the Baldwin Baptist Mission Church, in Baldwin, Louisiana was caught by police in Texas while trying to escape responsibility for raping the child of one of the church’s members. “We trust God to bring healing and restoration,” said the pastor of a nearby Baptist church in reaction to the arrest. What isn’t clear is whether members of the area’s churches feel that they can trust their god to protect them from predatory preachers.

You get the picture. There’s a question that few Christian church leaders are asking, much less providing an honest answer for: Why are so many Christian preachers sexually assaulting children?

Then, we turn on the TV set and watch Christian Nationalist preachers shout the very same ideology as Hitler. American Christian Nationalists promote white supremacy, antisemitism, hatred against LGBTQ people, militarism, totalitarianism, disdain for democracy, and brutal violence against anyone who stands in their way.

We might ask ourselves another naive question: How could American Christians get to be so hateful? How could American Christianity align itself with a new manifestation of Nazi ideology?

Look no further than Baptist preacher Bill Grady.

Bill Grady is an acolyte of the racist Baptist preacher Peter Ruckman, who supported racial segregation and taught his Christian followers that Africans need to be mastered by Europeans, or else they will naturally practice cannibalism. Now, Bill Grady promotes the same nasty ideology, but even worse. Bill Grady teaches his followers that the time is nearly upon us when Christian Americans will be able to fill a billion body bags with the corpses of non-Christians they have slaughtered.

At the Fellowship Baptist Church in Maryville, Tennessee, Bill Grady declared:

“When you attack white people for white privilege and white power and white this and white that, listen, that’s an attack on god. He said the Europeans were going to be the folks that were going to run the world!” 

– Baptist Bill Grady

What did the members of the Fellowship Baptist Church in Maryville, Tennessee do when they heard Bill Grady calling for “white power”?

They clapped their hands in applause.

At the Clover Hill Baptist Church in Chesterfield, Virginia, Bob Grady was at it again, calling for “white supremacy”.

“All these charges of white supremacy and white privilege, if you’ve got a problem with that, go talk to god. He put that in the bible a long time ago!”

– Baptist Bill Grady

How did the members of the Clover Hill Baptist Church in Chesterfield, Virginia react when they heard Bill Grady’s call for white supremacy?

The members of that Baptist church decided that they liked Bill Grady’s white supremacist sermon so much, they posted it up onto YouTube so that the world could see it.

When Bill Grady’s tour of Christian Nationalist Nazi propaganda stopped at the Victory Baptist Church in Clarkston, Michigan, he told the church members there that any Christians who are too afraid to accept the doctrine of white supremacy are “wimps.” He said:

“God said he was going to take the white man, duh, and do something special with him. That’s the idea!”

– Baptist Bill Grady

The members of the Victory Baptist Church in Clarkston, Michigan laughed and cheered when Bill Grady told them that Christianity gives them permission to be racist. Bill Grady continued:

“Do you think all the races, all the races are the same? Are you on drugs?”

At the Gospel Light Baptist Church of Mechanicsville, Maryland, Bill Grady expressed his fury at Donald Trump’s loss of the 2020 presidential election, and told the congregants there that god had chosen Trump as the winner, so the democratic vote by the people of the United States was illegal.

Grady was so angry, he told the church, that as revenge against Joe Biden, he would refuse to acknowledge the “garbage” of civil rights.

“Let me tell you, neighbor: I’m not interested in hearing anything about Martin Luther King or comments on racism or bad old white people three days before the greatest president of my lifetime is being evicted from the White House illegally. I’m not interested in hearing that garbage!”

– Baptist Bill Grady

You may have noticed that these are not messages of peace and love.

As Bill Grady travels from church to church, promoting racist Nazi ideology, he cites bible verses to support his ideas.

The sad truth is that Bill Grady isn’t making it up. There is a connection between the Christian bible and Nazi ideology. He cites chapter 9 of Genesis, in combination with an old Christian conspiracy known as the Curse of Ham, as proof that the Christian god wants people of European ancestry to have power over everyone else on Earth.

This same ideology was used to justify the genocide of Native Americans and Africans by European colonists. Now, Bill Grady, and other Christian Nationalist preachers like him, are busy whipping up churches into a fury of American Nazi rage, determined to perpetrate a new genocide against non-Europeans, non-Christians, and anybody else who stands in their way.

Don’t wonder how the German people were convinced to support Adolf Hitler. The same dark ideology is now surging in the USA.

They call it Christian Nationalism.
