Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said in a 2011 sermon that Americans cannot serve God while also serving in the U.S. military.

The newly unearthed comments threaten to complicate Warnock's candidacy in a tight Georgia Senate race: Georgia is home to the fifth largest active duty military population in the country, according to a 2018 Department of Defense report.

"America, nobody can serve God and the military," Warnock said in the sermon delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where he serves as senior pastor. "You can't serve God and money. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time."

That may not be as big of an impact since many active duty members maintain their legal residence in other states and would not be voting in Georgia...their spouses, on the other hand, likely could be able to vote in Georgia.

You CAN serve fried chicken with Hennessey. But don't drink the Hennessey before a sermon. That would just make you preach some really dumb crap.
