Paul Washer (1961–) is an American right-wing hellfire-and-brimstone Christian fundamentalist preacher, missionary and author. He adheres to the notion of salvation coming as a result of faith in Christ's work of atonement and of abstinence from sin; not just the former. He claims to hold to justification by faith alone (sola fide), but as a Calvinist also asserts a long litany of required behaviors without which one is not a "true" believer. He gained attention in 2003 when he gave a sermon to approximately 5,000 youth entitled "Shocking Message!" where he warned against the evils of worldly entertainment. Unlike many fundamentalists, he claimed that the United States was the most wicked country on Earth due to the large number of professing Evangelicals who live a "worldly" lifestyle. He argues that most preachers today are too wishy-washy and not fundie enough, and that this is one of the many reasons why the world is in such a state of decadence. Washer even once stated that if his children were to die unsaved, he would applaud God as he cast them into Hell. Nice guy.
