This is as silly as Johnson’s views, if less immediately harmful. Mike Johnson is a bigot, and chooses to be one.
Enough make-believe!
Grow up already!!!
Plausible
How absurd. People blaming “evil”, demons, etc for what real, live people do are letting the actual perpetrators off the hook.
We see the same bullshit when mass shooters write a manifesto about how they hate the race of the week and Republicans all line up to say: oh no, that’s just evil, nothing could have been done to stop people from choosing evil. Sure buddy. Now go home and praise Jesus that only 6 kids were murdered today, what a miracle.
Babies first “News” story.
Hey now, that’s not fair.
To the devil. I like the cut of his jib far more than this fucker.
Mike Johnson is evil and controlled by Mike Johnson
These people are all nuts
The scariest part is that he’s just two heartbeats away from ultimate power.
Can we get the Winchester bros on the case then?
Concerning. Looking into this…
I have it on good authority he’s being controlled by Skeletor. So put that in your Crack pipe and freebase it.
It looks like any situation or happening that the judging Christian doesn’t like.
That’s it. An attack from Satan can look like:
* Car trouble
* Friends falling out with you
* Addictions and dependencies on off-limits things
* Rumors getting spread about you (true or not, but the Christian will always insist they’re not)
* Having trouble getting something you need, like a job or a coveted spot on a committee
* Bank fees or other expenses you weren’t expecting at all
* Natural disasters of any kind
* Someone starting an argument with you
* Your children backtalking or doing poorly in school
* Crimes committed against you or your property
* Getting fired from your job (with cause or without, though it’ll always be presented as unfairly done)
* Getting pushback about your religious grandstanding and bloviating
* Encountering literally anything that might spark doubt in your beliefs
Now, you might be thinking right now that literally anything can be re-imagined as an attack from Satan. The real problem is figuring out what might actually just be bad luck or poor planning, right?
Well, yes. That’s actually the point of the whole belief.
**Imagining all negative experiences as real live honest-to-goodness attacks from Satan is a feature, not a bug of Low Christianity.**
Hate to break it to my fellow Christians. You vote for republicans, you’re not getting into heaven. God doesn’t care more about whether or not other people (not you cause you won’t) get abortions than he does about being good, and kind to your neighbors, the environment, and standing up for the little guy. Everything republicans despise.
Idk if I’ll get into heaven either but guaranteed nobody wants you there till you repent and change
He is simply dangerous, very.
>In an op-ed for Salon
No surprises there.
“The Devil made him do it.”
Nah, he’s just a shitty person with undue power. Don’t put this on Satan.
If there were more Christians like that the church wouldn’t be dying off.
We can all agree he’s evil, beyond that I don’t really care how you explain that evil. We just have to be on the same page about what comes next. He shouldn’t be two heart beats from the Presidency.
The Devil being Trump!
🤣 What a crock
Any person who claims God is speaking to them directly is usually just saying that to justify whatever bullshit they do.
America, you guys are funny man.
“Don’t bring me into this.” – Satan
Has anyone in Republican leadership bein led by God since Trump took it over? They are led by Trump period.
I don’t believe in a literal devil, but most evangelicals do, and think outside forces can influence our actions, for good or evil. Most of the comments here are mocking and dismissive, but I think the minister should be commended for explaining Johnson’s (and Trump’s) actions in a worldview his fellow evangelicals can understand.
I don’t believe it’s Satan.
His actions are determined by his self-serving lust for power, money, and control.
He uses religion to rationalize those desires.
Trying to use the image of Satan as an excuse is a cop out.
Man, these fanfiction wars get real ugly, real quick.
Wait! 👀 He’s Christian and all Christians are good by default and on top of that the voices in his head told him he was Aaron and that’s got to make him Mr. Wonderful, right? Aaron’s a good guy, right? 😂

Cults are the silliest
[In Low Christianity, we find a wealth of resources](https://rolltodisbelieve.com/could-it-be-satan-why-so-many-christians-blame-satan-for-their-problems/) to tell us exactly what an attack from Satan even looks like:
