Christian Theology According to Kos

"Radical Faith," one of the contributing gasbaggers on the hard left site of hard left fulminator Kos, poses as a clergyperson and weighs in on contemporary theology, with predictably profound results:

Today I walked out of church about a third of the way through the service. A soloist was performing "God Bless the USA." I have always found that song to be especially cloying, but when I noticed it listed in the bulletin I decided to attempt to tolerate it. And I might have managed to do just that had not one or two individuals prompted the entire congregation to stand.

At that moment I felt as though I'd been punched in the gut. And it was a double whammy - not only was I offended politically, I was deeply offended spiritually. I would never under any circumstance stand in tribute to a performance of that particular song. As far as I'm concerned asking me to stand in a sanctuary bordered on blasphemy. How could I in good conscience stand to embrace the lyrics "I'm proud to be an American" in the very same week we learned U.S. soldiers raped an Iraqi woman then murdered her and her family to cover up the crime? What spiritually unwise person planned this nonsense?

Let's parse this hate-spew out. First of all, we get to believe that a Marxist (which everyone on Kos appears to be) actually indulges in the opiate of the people by attending church. That logical glitch aside, let's adopt the willing suspense of dibelief, shall we, and pretend that this intellectual giant actually dropped in to hear the word of God. And, amazingly, attempt to be "tolerant" enough to endure a hymn he/she didn't like. Ok, so far, so good.

But wait! One or two people actually decided to stand, prompting a lemming-like patriotic response from the crowd. Disgusting! "Radical" now feels "punched in the gut," which is probably logical if you hate this country and anyone who happens to like it. And even more disgusting, these folks actually had the timerity to DISAGREE with our "tolerant" friend. God (if there is a God) forbid!

So now we segueway directly into an anti-US soldier rant on the latest MSM riff on our evil soldiers in Iraq. Mind you, this is still just a story, not a guilty verdict or perhaps not even the truth. But our "tolerant" friend immediately convicts our soldiers of rape and murder. Now, we're sure "Radical" would be equally disgusted if someone on a conservative blog would rush to declare, let's say, one of the mass murderers in Guantanamo "guilty" of rape and murder without giving them the due process that is not actually due to them.

So we're just wondering, "Rad," if you're so religious and tolerant, why the intolerance toward practicing Christians who actually love our country and toward GI's who haven't been convicted of any crime.

This is the problem with the left. There is no logic to what passes for thought in that quarter. And the "thought" itself is nothing more than the same Marxist message we've been getting since the era of Stalin. Stay on message. Hate the USA. And the only "truth" is what the Party says it is.
