To paraphrase: John Benefiel claims that America is under a curse from God because we possess monuments to pagan idols. He also wants his followers to believe that Americans needs to renounce and destroy those demonic idols, one being the Statue of Liberty because it represents a “false goddess.”

“Libertas” is also called the “Freedom Goddess,” “Lady Freedom,” the “Goddess of Liberty.” Do you know there’s a statue in New York harbor called the Statue of Liberty — you know where we got it from? French Freemasons. Listen, folks, that is an idol, a demonic idol, right there in the middle of New York harbor.
People say, “Well, no, it’s patriotic.” What makes it patriotic? Why is it? It’s the statue of a false goddess, the Queen of Heaven. We don’t get liberty from a false goddess, folks. We get our liberty from Jesus Christ and that Statue of Liberty in no way glorifies Jesus Christ. There is no connection whatsoever. So I’m just telling you, we practice idolatry in America in ways that we don’t even recognize.
