Some big dogs are so very patient with the little babies.
What fierce little fellows they are!
From August 14, 2013
Remember Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, who predicted the disaster and wound up saying, “I hate being right, all of the time”? I’m beginning to get a sense of how he felt.
Just over two years ago, in the June 26, 2011, edition of NewsWithViews , I published a satire entitled, “A New Bible for a New Age.” It was a satire making fun of liberal churchmen trying to rewrite the Bible to make it conform to their own asinine and indefensible beliefs. My New Age Bible included a “New New Testament.”
And behold–now there really is a New New Testament, compiled by some clown from the Jesus Seminar–an outfit devoted to “disproving” the divinity of Christ–and the usual gaggle of renegade churchmen and ministerettes from the usual flatline demoninations. (Sorry, but I don’t want to call them “denominations” anymore. “Demoninations” is more accurate.)
What they did was to add to the New Testament ten “new books,” actually old books rejected by the Church centuries ago for being full of Gnostic heresies. This is not just diluting the New Testament; it’s poisoning the well.
Why did they do that? Says the publisher’s PR guy, for two reasons:
*To advance a feminist agenda
*And to stress “the importance of the teachings of Christ, rather than His redemptive death, which has alienated Christians [sic] who seek to square their faith with reason.”
So, as is always the case with these fimbos, their real object of worship is not God, but themselves and their own sin-corrupted, severely limited power of “reason.” And their authority is not the word of God, but what they think the word of God should be. None of this “redemption” stuff, thank you! Wonderful people like these don’t need redemption.
But in the meantime, how about that? I write a satire, a lampoon, a joke–and then they do the very thing that I imagined them doing! Right down to the bleedin’ title: A New New Testament.
Satires are not supposed to come true; but this one did.
God help us.
The New York State Democrats (who else?), in their infinite wisdom have passed a bill that would remove the word “mother” from state law and replace it with the term “gestating parent”. This is not a joke. Would that it were.
Oh and the Dads will get their new term, also. The bill, 9136, would change the word “father” to “non-gestating parent”. These people are crazy. This would also turn “paternity” cases into “parentage” proceedings. This nonsensical terminology (and more) would be used throughout New York’s child custody, family court, domestic relations and education laws. Boy, is there ever going to be a huge bill just for the new stationery alone. Freight-car loads of documents and forms will all have to be re-printed. I wonder which politician’s brother has a printing company?
Governor Kathy Hochul is expected to sign the bill into law. Of course she will.
There is really very little room left in this world for satire.
And on that joyful note, I will fold my tent.
Have a good night, all.
See you tomorrow.
God bless everybody
