It was defiant and provocative. Media provokes, yet so many christians follow the pied pipers of Fox News, and all media, left or right and jump on any bandwagon, and call evil good and good evil. <br /><br />All these world events are showing who the sheep and the goats are. The sheep, who think they are on the righteous path (in Christ) don't display compassion in their language, and thus, prevent unbelievers from entering in. Watching news is almost anathema to the Gospel. It tries to twist our minds into taking sides. However, each side isn't on the Lord's side. I want to be on the Lord's side, praise His Name!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-42824268609275589702015-01-25T10:03:28.268-05:002015-01-25T10:03:28.268-05:00Good comments Cal.

It's sad that lost guys like Stewart and Colbert sometimes have more insight than either the mainstream media or the professing Christian media. I watch a YouTube clip every once in awhile just to see what they're talking about. Al Mohler decries the fact that a lot of young people are using shows like this as their primary new source. That is too bad. However when polled they still have more knowledge about many current events than the average Fox viewer! That's especially sad when you consider in the end they are just comedy shows.<br /><br />Protoprotestanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217567607160768261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-30308863426727916022015-01-24T18:10:56.801-05:002015-01-24T18:10:56.801-05:00John, your mention of the violence of Nigeria brou...John, your mention of the violence of Nigeria brought to mind the similar observation made by Jon Stewart on his Daily Show: http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/380ulg/boko-haram----bringbackoursongs.

However, I remember them freaking out when Chris Rock made jokes involving September 11th. They were highly critical and considered him classless and unAmerican (which is almost a denial of humanity for them). Then months later Charlie Hebdo happens...How dare these Muslims? Free speech is free speech, you can insult anyone and no one should be hurt!<br /><br />At the end of the day, as Al-Jazeera points out (to their own criticism), there is an anti-Muslim sentiment that is rampant. We obsess over the specter of ISIS when more beheadings and murders and cult-like activity happens in Mexico with the Cartel's steady advance of influence and the increasing worship of Santa Muerta. How many Americans are concerned? None, because the Cartels will not be a serious competitor to the religion of Americana. ISIS is in the way of our global political dreams, the Cartel can be bought off.<br /><br />Really, as it has always been, it's a war of the gods. Like the worship of Roma and the Caesars, you can worship any gods as long as it is within the shrine of America. Allah, and ISIS, threatens that existentially. Sadly Christians, by and large, have forsaken Christ, and built their own Jeroboam-esque altar in Washington.<br /><br />Not to sound Hegelian, but Islam is the anti-thesis to the Paganism of RomAmerica. The war is a battle over liturgy in the worship of Death. It's this clash of beasts that the faithful live beneath and continue to spread the Gospel, the Victory of Christ and end of all beasts and demons, yea, even death.<br /><br />Je Suis Christien,<br />Cal<br />Cal of Chelcicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274276191242967318noreply@blogger.com
