ELCA Leaders Talk of 'Rage' While Attacking White Men Over the Kavanaugh Confirmation

Those who are "of the world" have taken over the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This happened decades ago, but "the world" is showing itself in the ELCA in increasing fashion each year since. Those "of the world" are changing and twisting God's Word, un-sinning and celebrating sin, pushing their evil, hate and reprobate mind (see Romans 1:28).
​
We see the "world" in the reaction of many ELCA leaders to Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and confirmation to the United States Supreme Court. (See a previous blog on this topic here.) Below are disturbing comments and reactions from ELCA leaders about the Kavanaugh confirmation and nomination. 

​-- ELCA pastor Clint Schnekloth shared ELCA seminary student Elle Dowd's social media post that encourages readers to be "radicalized," "rage-filled," "plug(ed) into leftist organization movements," and to "become ungovernable."

Elle Doud also tweeted:

Listen I am pissed as hell at Senator Collins but I am just as mad at all those bazillions of male Senators who did the same fucking thing.

​
--  ELCA Pastor and ELCA Youth Gathering keynote speaker Tuhina Verma Rasche decided to pen "A Rewriting of Psalm 10." In it she says (language warning) "Wake the fuck up, God!" and speaks of "mediocre white men." Pastor Rasche's rewritten Psalm includes photographs of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill. (See here and a segment of the rewrite below).

And then there is this from Pastor Rasche,
​

I just woke up on the other side of the Atlantic and heard that he was confirmed.

God damn it.

--  ELCA Pastor Joelle Colville-Hanson is the Director for Evangelical Mission at the Northeastern Iowa Synod. (read more about her here) Seems she has hopped on the racist liberal mantra that white men are bad. See the tweet below. 

Not all old white men are awful https://t.co/j8uvE01L6P

-- ELCA pastor Lura Groen, (read all that I have written about her here), responded to the Kavanaugh confirmation by saying it is okay to scream, rage and throw rocks. She ends her tweet by calling God "she."

A reminder that screaming, raging, and throwing rocks into the void can all be prayers.

God can take it. God will hear you. She may even be screaming with you.

-- ELCA pastor ​Joy Gonnerman​ is another church leader attacking white males saying they need to be voted out of office. 

Everyone. Everyone needs to vote this midterm. Show the old white men that they no longer get to determine the lives of women, children and non-white people any more. Vote. Them. Out. https://t.co/7WVmExUP7h

-- ELCA pastor Michael Tassler attacks conservatives in his tweet saying conservatives "fully and completely affirm, support and encourage sexual assault as the given right of males." 

So, let’s be clear: conservatives, behind the cloak of piety and morality, fully and completely affirm, support, and encourage sexual assault as the given right of males. It’s one of the rungs on the ladder to success.

--  ELCA pastor Emmy Kegler calls Judge Kavanaugh an "abuser" and says Republicans do not care whether the abuse really happened. 

We are making a woman flay raw the most painful part of her past on live television, and the Republicans are planning to approve her abuser anyway.

I don't believe whether it "really happened" matters to them.

What matters to those in power is power.

-- Then there is superstar ELCA pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber tweeting how she is terrified, furious and "rage-y."

Sad. Angry. Terrified. Furious...and alternately numb and rage-y.
