Dear George,
The trouble with God is that he cares too much about the poor. The Bible is a snake pit of bleeding heart screeds mandating their care and coddling. Jesus is even worse with his, “Just as ye do unto the least of them, so do you do unto me.” Unless we constantly reposition the deity, we end up with another Gandhi or a Martin Luther King.
We need a god of barbarian corporatism who blesses exploitation and theft, a god who sees suffering, hunger, and poverty as extensions of the divine will. The real God would trash the status quo which is why he must be replaced with an idol who is both secular and docile.
Once God is let out of his cage, we end up with aberrations like the liberation theology that swept Latin and Central America in the seventies and eighties. Pope Benedict showed his piety when he wisely quashed it as being unchristian. Just to give you a taste of its radicalism, I am quoting from one of its documents, The Road to Damascus: Kairos and Conversion. (I am not sure what Kairos means. It has something to do with God’s time and being aware of the opportunities for potentially seismic shifts in orientation and worldview that could lead to revolution and the overthrow of the established order.)
God is on the side of the poor, the oppressed, the persecuted. When this faith is proclaimed and lived in a situation of conflict between the rich and the poor, and when the rich and powerful reject this faith and condemn it as heresy, we read the signs and discern something more than a crisis. We are faced with a kairos, a moment of truth, a time for decision, a time of grace, a God-given opportunity for conversion and hope.”
Do you see what we have here? It is nothing short of Christian Marxism! We must quarantine this virus before it spreads its infection throughout the favelas of the world. The most effective way of doing this is to morph Christianity into Christianism. Christianity is a faith that can move mountains and topple governments. Christianism is an ideology that equates the status quo with a secularized god.
To maintain Americas standing as the world’s sole surviving superpower we must take the dynamic God with His life force that courses through nature uprooting trees and bursting dams as it spreads anarchy and calamity through the established order and beat him into a golden idol that is rigid and unyielding. And we must make of Jesus a bobble-head that nods approvingly to all those who prostate themselves before this golden idol.
Christianism is about keeping the mob in line, not about empowering it, and it is your faith in this ideology that keeps you strong and enables you to stay the course.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
