Nicholas Thalasinos was an outspoken conservative who railed on social media against radical Islam, liberals and political correctness.
At his memorial service on Saturday, one of the last for a victim of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks, Thalasinos’ pastor took up his mantle with a fiery eulogy that he admitted might offend some, but was true to the spirit of the man he was honoring.
“There’s a cosmic battle going on between light and dark, between good and evil, between the Lord and ha-Satan,” Bruce Dowell, senior pastor at Shiloh Messianic Congregation, told the Calimesa service, using the Hebrew word for the devil.
Speaking of the husband and wife terrorists who killed Thalasinos, Dowell said, “They went straight to hell. Don’t be deceived on that.” As congregants applauded wildly and shouted “Amen!,” he added, “I realize that isn’t politically correct, but I really don’t care.”
