Jim Wallis told MSNBC’s Joy Reid that Americans are “sacrificing” their children to Moloch by exercising their Second Amendment rights in the immediate aftermath of the Tennessee school shooting that left six dead, police say at the hands of female-to-male Audrey Hale.
Wallis claimed that American “children are only unsafe at drag shows when a shooter shows up to kill them,” and blamed Republicans for “cynically weaponiz[ing] this and exploit[ing] these children’s deaths.”
Wallis, the head of Georgetown’s Center for Faith and Justice and a former Obama spiritual advisor, claimed “White Christian nationalism” is heresy and likened gun owners to the ancient demon. He asserted, “White Christian nationalism, which is behind all this, is literally a biblical heresy.”
“There was an ancient God called Moloch. Leviticus talks about Moloch, who was a God that children were sacrificed to in flames. And the Bible is very tough on Moloch,” Wallis postulated.
“Guns are our new Moloch. Guns are the Moloch. We’re sacrificing our children to Moloch, when we could do easy common sense things about guns,” Wallis said.
"I'll go stronger: this is anti-Christ."

Moloch is an Old Testament Canaanite demon associated with ritualistic child sacrifice, which became prominent in ancient Carthage, and is also reportedly venerated by politicians and businessmen at the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, California.
“Politicians could do something, if they wanted to. What’s behind that is, they are worshiping a false God, and they are literally sacrificing all our children,” he said. “This is anti-Gospel, anti-Christ…We have got to confront it theologically, and not just politically.”
The left-wing preacher then defended transgenders and slammed Fox News host Tucker Carlson for claiming transgenderism is the “natural enemy” of Christianity.
“LGBTQ are initials that all stand for somebody who’s beloved of God, made in the image of God,” he said.
The MSNBC segment comes after transgender “man” Audrey Hale, a biological female, shot and killed six Christians in Nashville, including three children.
