God is the ass here, not me

A pastor in Arizona has been in the news because he not only hopes and prays that the current US President will die, he instructs his parishoners to pray for this as well.
We’re supposed to feel okay about this because he wants god to strike him down, not man. Apparently he has completely missed that whole concept that Jesus talked of, where what’s in your heart versus your actions is irrelevant – wrong is wrong.
What struck me, though was something else this fellow said (starting at 1:45 in the video),
…there are a lot of people that God hates and that we should hate, but see, I didn’t write that, it’s in the Bible.
Which is an implied admission that what he thinks and says is abhorrent, but it’s okay, because it’s really god that’s being the ass, and is commanding him to be. He’s just doing his job.
