A woke preacher in Fargo, North Dakota, compared the Nashville shooter who slaughtered six Christians to Jesus just before the Crucifixion in a recent sermon.

On Sunday, newly installed pastor Micah Louwagie, a woman who claims to be “trans” and who prefers they/them pronouns, made the shocking comparison during an Easter-themed service at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. Louwagie began by blaming the shooting at the Covenant School on guns, asserting that gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and ignoring the fact that millions of babies die violently from abortion every year.
