On yesterday’s “Hagee Hotline,” host Matthew Hagee had a discussion with local San Antonio conservative radio host Trey Ware about the attack on an anti-Islam event in Texas carried out by two Islamic radicals over the weekend. Ware declared that the attack, along with the unrest in Baltimore and the push for marriage equality, are all the result of America having abandoned God.

After saying that blaming organizers of the anti-Islam event for the attack is “blaming the victim, like what happens in certain rape cases,” Ware said that this is all part of an ever-worsening “spiritual battle.”

“There is no doubt that America, when we decided, as a nation I’m talking about, years ago to say, ‘No, God, we don’t want you in the schools, we don’t want you anywhere,’ and churches even said we don’t want you in the churches, then God said ‘okay,'” Ware said. “And we are now reaping what we have sown in America society. These riots that we have seen, the discussion about homosexual marriage that you and I are going to talk about today, and even the situation where terrorists are in our country, a lot of this is because we as a nation left God”:
