Religious Left: On The Lunatic Fringe

There has been a malevolent movement that has been creeping across our nation for some time now…it’s insidious in its facade…and diabolical in its goals. And it cloaks itself in purity…

The emergence of the Religious Left appeared during the campaign of the last presidential election. They appeared to be Christian in word, but if one peaked under the sheep’s clothing, one would find a sharp, merciless, bite.

One of the characters of this movement is the infamous (in my book) Tony Campolo. His positions on hot button issues have been dubious for a few decades now, but his recent ‘tour’ and message has riled this observer to go verbally postal…

His recent tour stop was at Bethlehem Bible College in the West Bank for the school’s assembly of “Christ at the Checkpoint: Theology in the Service of Peace and Justice.” This school promotes a form of ‘Palestinian’ liberation that is highly approved of by the Religious Left. A contingent that isn’t exactly opposed to violence toward Israel.

The other cohorts at this concert of creeps includes:

British anti-Israel Anglican priest Stephen Sizer, and Naim Ateek of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Centre. The latter is a driving force behind the campaign by mainline Protestant churches to divest from Israel .

Nice, Tony…did you bring your trident too?

Is Campolo free to speak his mind? Sure. BUT, as a representative of the God of the Bible, he has to adhere to those doctrines…and they DON’T include demonizing God’s Chosen to accommodate the enemies of God.

The propaganda spewed by Ateek and his ilk have their foundation, NOT in the Judeo-Christian Bible, but rather in the Quran and Hadiths. And Campolo ostensibly approves of this.

Shame on Campolo for his abominable behavior toward the Apple of God’s Eye. But my rebuke will be met with arrogant disregard…because people like Tony Campolo no longer HAVE a conscience to be pricked.
