Extreme

Extremism

Leads to extremism

Leads to bloodshed

It’s what I’ve always said
My bleeding heart bears witness as my sacred faith runs red.
I deplore your holy bloodbath
Your godly ‘Boogaloo
Your Great Replacement ‘race war’ 'neath the raised red white and blue.
 
Rick Joyner, pastor-prophet
Of the bright and Morningstar
Says, “True Christians! Buy up weapons for the coming civil war.
Push back against the evil
Til the culture war is won,”
Will Rick’s children face their father down the wrong end of a gun?
 
Mario Murillo,
that mighty man of God
Says, “Be a wartime pastor now, and never mind the blood.”
The ACL says violence
might be needed down the path
If our country is to have a hope of dodging godly wrath.
 
A wise man said that kindness
Matters more than right or pride
I hate the polarization, I’m not cool with genocide
The silence after violence is the loudest dark to see
Is there no mercy to be had
For mothers left bereaved.
 
Take heed of early whispers
Or you’ll have to hear the screams
When an AR15 weapon murders little children’s dreams
If Jesus shed his blood for us
For human angst and sin
Is His blood too diluted to drown out the bloody din?
 
But that’s a shit hole country
Where children fear to play
Australia please listen, we are not so far away.
We have these “declarations”
Canberra or Uluru
I’d crawl and clamber up the rock if it was not taboo
 
And shout out from the top across this blood-soaked, sunburnt land
Treaty!
Treaty!
Treaty!
And on mining, place a ban
I would stop the coal erosion
And burn the Midnight Oil
Protect those ancient, sacred places
No longer to despoil
 
Extremists are not haters
They’re just lovers in extreme
Hitler, Mao and ISIS used the people’s sacred dreams
They’re love-bombed, then love-bonded
On the path to holy war
They march right into killing fields they never even saw.
 
Brother, sister, comrade
Such camaraderie
Identity, belonging offered at the point of need
But not so much for others, the
Apostate, infidel
Dehumanize,
then euthanize
The worthless damned to hell.
 
The waters are rising
People’s lives drowning
Bushfires howling
Coral reefs bleaching
People are hurting
 
But to be a proper Christian, to truly take my place
I must know that climate’s just a ploy by lizard clones from space
Body count not high enough?
We need more force and strife
To make the nation great, but tell me, 
 
how is that pro-life?
 
It’s sad I’m not in step with you
I’m clearly just deceived
I think too much and say too much
I should not be believed.
I have too many questions, so you must be partly right
Cause I’m drowning in opinions and they keep me up at night.
 
I didn’t vote the right way
And I didn’t like your meme
I guess the real problem is that I am too 
 
Extreme.
 
 

 
 
Are prominent evangelical leaders *really* dragging Christianity towards armed conflict and bloodshed, or am I just over-reacting?
 
What do you make of this?
 
- Greg Locke says you can't vote Democrat and "You ain't seen an insurrection yet". From the page of pacifist Shane Claiborne.
 
 
- Did Rick Joyner really tell Christians to prepare for civil war?
 
American Christians Need to Prepare for Civil War, Pastor Warns
 
- Did Mario Murillo really say it's time to be wartime pastors?
 
 
- Do people really believe the world is controlled by lizard people from outer space?

The World Is Controlled by a Group of Elite Reptiles
 
- Are they really calling for a "race war" called the "boogaloo"?
