NY pol shares video of pastor claiming God couldnt care less about 9/11 because victims werent saved: Abhorrent
An upstate pastor running a Bible study live-streamed by a state assemblyman callously claimed God “couldn’t care less” about nearly 2,800 New Yorkers killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11 — and that the victims were to blame for their own deaths because they were unrepentant.The heinous remarks from Michael Cesar, of the Grace and Truth Church in suburban Buffalo, were broadcast by state Assemblyman David DiPietro (R-East Aurora) on the pol’s Facebook page.DiPietro often hosts the Bible study.“God couldn’t care less about the Twin Towers getting hit,” Cesar said in the Sept.
16 video, shot just five days after the 23rd anniversary of the massacre.“What was God’s thought on Sept.11? He knew what was going to happen.
You know what his thought was? Every one of those people should have gotten saved,” said Cesar, using “saved” to refer to born-again Christians.In the 76-minute video, the fiery proselytizer claimed those killed during the terror attacks are responsible for their deaths because they had plenty of time to “get saved,” yet chose not to. “It’s serious stuff folks.
If thou sinnest thou shalt surely die,” said Cesar.DiPietro is a member of Cesar’s church, along with his wife.Over the years he has shared dozens of the pastor’s vile videos, The Buffalo News first reported.On Sept.
17, DiPietro shared the video again, calling it “a fantastic Teaching!!!! If you want to know where you are going….HEAVEN or HELL….What REALLY happens!!!”Families of 9/11 victims were appalled.“He doesn’t know what anyone’s faith was, what religion they were or how they chose to practice their religion,” Terry Strada, whose 41-year-old husband Tom was killed in the North Tower, told The Post. “To come out with such an abhorrent line of thinking is a slap in the face to all of the victims’ family members that are still struggling to this day with the loss and the pain and suffering.” Retired FDNY Lt.
