An evangelical pastor named Ezequiel shared a video in which he is seen preaching and calling to destroy statues of Gauchito Gil. In the images that went viral, he is seen justifying the destruction of the images of the pagan saint while another young man hits an altar with a fire extinguisher.

“We are here for the glory of God, We have come to tear down an altar, look how big it is”, the pastor begins, while his companion takes a fire extinguisher of the kind used in cars and tries to tear down the image.

“They have eyes but do not see, they have a mouth but do not speak, they have ears but do not hear, let’s tear down in jesus name”, continues the religious. Then they are seen tearing up a cross and destroying the offerings that the devotees of the saint leave the patron to ask for or thank for favors.

The video was shared on Twitter by the user @bamelnegro and very quickly went viral: already lCam more than 6 million reproductions in one day. Some users repudiated the fact and others pointed out that it incites violence.

They accuse a pastor who helped Batán prisoners and homeless people for trafficking

“He wants to have this temple shot at,” wrote a user. “I would not want to be familiar with this one who 87 curses are going to fall together”, added another. “I am not a particular fan of Gauchito Gil, but I was hurt by what they did, there are many people for whom it is important. Also, there is unnecessary violence in destroying his face and mocking. What a poverty of spirit, I don’t even think that other pastors of good agree,” said another follower.

Pastor Ezequiel maintained that it has “biblical foundations”

Ezequiel spoke with TN and explained: “I have several videos doing that, I preach the word of God and I have biblical foundations that speak about idolatry and what it causes.” “Many young people are tied to that curse and cannot get out and we believe that in the spiritual environment it is a curse that leads youth to commit crimes and make offerings to pagan gods“, held.

According to him, Gauchito Gil “is an abomination in the eyes of God.” “If we break an altar, we are cutting into the spiritual environment, with accidents, jobs, death, offerings and sacrifices made to the devil,” he said.
