Appearing on This Week With Christanne Amanpour George Stephanopoulos, noted theologian Matthew Dowd decried the "irony" that certain legislators and governors who "push for" gun rights also "push for" prayer in school.

It actually gets better.

Thus spake Dowd: "We wanna be a Christian nation and we wanna act in a Christian manner but, oh by the way, we don't believe in the 'Turn your other cheek' and we don't believe in 'Love your enemy', we believe in loading citizens and basically giving them an opportunity to shoot people."

Apologies for his tortured use of the English language and misquotation of Scripture, but that is an exact quotation.

In other words, in the mind of Matthew Dowd, it is a Christian virtue to be the victim of a violent crime without defending yourself.

For real.

In his defense, he was speaking on a Sunday morning, so maybe he thought he was qualified to teach something about Biblical principles.

Sound doctrine, brother.

Everyone knows that God gave His only begotten Son so that all who trust Him should stand idly by while being raped, assaulted, or beaten.

God love ya, Deacon Dowd.

Can I get a witness?
