On yesterday’s “Hagee Hotline,” televangelist Matthew Hagee called upon viewers to contact their legislators in support of legislation like Indiana’s “religious freedom” law, warning that if they don’t, “we will lose the battle for righteousness in America.”

“We have turned out back on values that have made us great,” Hagee said, “and we have embraced the values that deteriorate society. We accept what others in past civilizations would have called appalling and yet we call appalling any individual who is willing to stand up and speak truth based on their convictions.”

After asserting that God is very clear in both the Old and New Testament that homosexuality is “an abomination,” Hagee called upon “people of faith and those who love truth” to contact their legislators in support of efforts to fight gay rights because this is a war between good and evil.

“Believe me, it is a war,” he said. “It is a war between good and evil. It is a war between light and darkness. It is a war in which you have to make up your mind to either fully engage or become an ally of the Adversary who would like to see a lie become a truth and the truth become a lie”:
