The Mosque Thing

I'm back! I'll be posting more this week.

Let's talk about Cordoba House, shall we?

Of course, as a Christian man I am opposed to any house of idolatry being built anywhere in the nation. Why? Because the Lord hates it. It isn't that Cordoba is some kind of "bad" mosque; any mosque, temple, synagogue, or ashram is abominable to Christ. One must consistently believe what one believes.

Of course it is a finger in the eye to the nation and the victims of 9/11's families. This is not accidental. In fact, it is a dark funhouse-mirror version of what Christians have always done: build our Churches on top of former pagan temples, announcing that Jesus is Lord of that place now. The difference is that we evangelize and persuade the former worshipers themselves to tear down the pagan temples and their idols and build a Church.

Now, we have a problem here and it goes way back. Under our present polity, especially since the War Between the States, State and local governments do not enjoy the freedom they once did under the Constitution, strictly interpreted. "Congress shall make no law..." but New York City surely can.

They will not assert their rights because of the real problem, which is this: We are a polytheistic society. "Tolerance" and "pluralism" are simply wussy ways of saying what it really is. And we Christians have embraced that. Not content with the Biblical ideal of tolerance, we have embraced the twisted egalitarian interpretation. Contented to have Jesus as our "personal Lord and Savior," we have not proclaimed Him as Lord of Manhattan and Everywhere Else.

And if that's who we're going to be, then let the Moslems build their mosque. It's not their fault they are taking the advantage we have handed them. To many it will stand as an insult to the victims of the 9/11 attacks, but what it really stands as is a testimony to the spinelessness of the American Christian man.
