An upstate pastor running a Bible study live-streamed by a state assemblyman callously claimed God “couldn’t care less” about nearly 2,800 New Yorkers killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11 — and that the victims were to blame for their own deaths because they were unrepentant.
The heinous remarks from Michael Cesar, of the Grace and Truth Church in suburban Buffalo, were broadcast by state Assemblyman David DiPietro (R-East Aurora) on the pol’s Facebook page. DiPietro often hosts the Bible study.
“God couldn’t care less about the Twin Towers getting hit,” Cesar said in the Sept. 16 video, shot just five days after the 23rd anniversary of the massacre.
“What was God’s thought on Sept. 11? He knew what was going to happen. You know what his thought was? Every one of those people should have gotten saved,” said Cesar, using “saved” to refer to born-again Christians.
