BEN BERGQUAM: This is good versus evil. That’s what we’re up against and, sadly you have these organizations that pretend to be good. It’s -- they're the most evil organizations on the planet because they pretend to be good. It’s it’s what God called sinners -- Jesus called synagogues of satan. That’s what we’re up against, the people that pretend to be good. They say that you know, they're the ones that will be spit out of God's mouth.

While the term “synagogue of Satan” does come from the Bible, the Anti-Defamation League describes the phrase as “a derogatory term used by various antisemities— such as the Nation of Islam, extremist sects of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement and many extremists who identify as Christians — to refer to Jews and Judaism.”
