    He believes that all leaders are raised up by the hand of God. Better get those sainthoods lined up for Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Putin, Mugabe, etc.

      Those people - including Johnson - aren’t leaders. They’re bureaucrats with fancy titles and institutionalized power - the exact thing Jesus wasn’t.

      Humanity once again assumes no accountability. All good things and Inventions are apparently important to us, but give authority to one mass murderer and apparently it’s acceptable to blame God, after the fact. Consider an alternative possibility, that your conscience is begging for mercy.
