Behind the curve
The Weekly Standard worries that Obama has unsurprisingly turned the White House Faith-Based Thingamajig into a distribution center for Gaia-worship.
No need to worry. Churches got there first, and have been there for a good long while.
Oddly enough, the Pentecostals started the trend in 1970 with Hal Lindsey's green Apocalypse.
The hard-line Maoist denominations like UCC, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian came to it next, from a different angle. They've been faithfully preaching the full deadly doctrine of the Left for a long time. Feminism, homosexuality, abortion, redistribution of good and evil. When the Party added Gaia to its manifesto in the '70s, these branches of the Party mechanically went along.
Rome was late to the game; didn't solidly switch from Christ to Gaia until High Priestess Benedict decided to surrender to every currently available false god. Mohammed, Gaia, Marx, all fine with the Priestess. (It's always that way with Krauts: at your throat or at your feet.)
Among the big players the last holdout was Southern Baptists, who finally converted a couple years ago.
There must be some minor splinter groups that still stick with Christianity, so I suppose there's a little bit of work for Obama's Faith-Based Thingamajig.
= = = = =
As far as I can tell, the Churches of Christ haven't switched yet. Maybe because they don't have a central office that can be infiltrated or blackmailed by the Left. (See O'Sullivan's Law). Or maybe even because they're true Christians with enough discernment to detect and reject a false religion? Dare I think it? ¶ 6:26 AM
