“You express your appreciation by saying. Where does thankfulness come from? In the video that went viral, Pepple was questioned. He proceeded by drawing a connection from the Bible, saying, “Don’t you know that even in the Bible, God used the very bad people to install his own?” Remember Joseph, don’t you? I concur, sir!
This religious parallel was elaborated upon by the Senator, who said, “And so God can use anybody, good, bad, or ugly, to accomplish his purpose.” This should not be interpreted as if the individual in question is a deity. Along with a strong criticism, he made the following observation: “Yeah, well, he can be a god, but he is not a god over our dear governor.”
