Evil Liberal Churches

From Cal Thomas's March 14 column:

There is no biblical expectation that a "fallen" world can, should or will be improved prior to the return of the One to whom evangelicals are supposed to owe their complete allegiance.


The first description of Satan [in the Bible] is that he is "subtle." (Genesis 3:1) Another translation says "crafty." Satan tempts to do what seems good. Liberal churches have long believed in a doctrine of salvation through works, as if helping the poor was the chief responsibility of government and an end in itself, rather than a means for individuals to communicate the love of God to poor people.

Cal Thomas knows what many who are to the Left of neoconservatism do not: One of the last obstacles of a complete TheoFascist takeover is what he calls "the liberal churches." Hopefully, what Cal Thomas calls "liberal churches" will awaken from their slumber and recall the meaning of the term social justice before it is banned from discussion.

Note, too, how Thomas refrains from taking the biblical advice, choosing only to apply it to his adversaries. Do the people comprising the Religious Right believe they are doing good? Presumably, yes, or they wouldn't be doing it. Yet, somehow, Thomas never acknowledges he and his allied fundies might be doing Satan's handiwork. Very "crafty" of him.

I'm not a Christian, but people like Cal Thomas - who also can't possibly be a Christian despite his posturing - are almost enough to get me goin' to church. Seeing as I reside in Denton County, Texas, I could just do what everyone else here does and start my own church. Wouldn't that be interesting.
