Anonymous, Most Pastors I know have a degree in Divinity.
Here's what Wiki says about the Masters in Divinity:
In the academic study of theology, the Master of Divinity (M.Div., magister divinitatis in Latin) is the first professional degree of the pastoral profession in North America. It is the most common academic degree in seminaries and divinity schools.
In many Christian denominations and in some other religions the degree is the standard prerequisite for ordination to the priesthood or pastorship or other appointment, ordination or licensing to professional ministry.
So, the guy is another dumbass, Leftist "social justice" Pastor, serving God by turning them into serfs, lying to them, and ensuring that those who want to kill Christians will have a good chance of succeeding.
