Into Battle

[SOURCE]

Bill Muehlenberg is a rich source of topics for me.  Plenty of blogs about him.  He’s about as right-wing as they come and actually believes his own shit.

He thinks that the world is a battlefield, for god, and he is one of his god’s warriors, out there, knee deep in battle, for the lord!

Now that dick has really shown how incredibly stupid his religion is by comparing the real life battles, where people really die to his imagined battle with the devil.

Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith is a real hero.  In Afghanistan he stood in front of bullets, shot the enemy dead and saved his mates.  He put his life on the line.  Reading his story itself was enough to make this Llama excrete smelly stuff from the rear end.

And this is a real life battle we are talking about, people on both sides are dying, and they’re doing it to counter the Taliban and reduce their influence on the world.  Regardless of your politics, the Australian soldiers need our support.

Me mate Silly Billy quite likes this quote from Corporal Roberts-Smith:

I saw my mates getting ripped up, so I decided to move forward. I wasn’t going to sit there and do nothing.

Yes, I agree with him, but then Bill says this:

I quite like that. Not only is it a great attitude to have in the field of combat, but it applies much more widely. I am thinking here about the Christian life. The Bible consistently portrays the believer’s life as one of battle, warfare, and constant fighting.

You actually want to compare your imagined battle with the real battle going on about you?  You tosser.

Consider some of the many external threats we face:

  • False religions
  • Attacks by unbelievers
  • Secularist crusades
  • Cultic invasions
  • Moral and cultural challenges
  • Various assaults on the Christian faith
  • “The world, the flesh and the devil”

Or if you belong to some fundamental Islamic tradition, say the Taliban, this is what they say:

Consider some of the many external threats we face:

Hang on a minute… wait on… that’s the same.

These are just a few of the battlefields that we find ourselves in. Every day we are engaged in some sort of battle, some sort of attack or some sort of assault. And the casualties are high and continue to mount. All around us we find believers who are burnt out or worn down or fed up.

Billy Baby, these are not battlefields, there are no bullets, nobody is actually dying.  The attacks are not physical, the assaults are not physical.  There are no casualties.  It’s a disgusting analogy to make, and makes a mockery of the brave work of the forces engaged in daily real-life threatening situations.

Every day pastors around the world are giving up the ministry. They have had enough. They are sick of all the criticism and ingratitude and abuse.

You make it sound like a bad thing.  There’s a reason that they get criticism and abuse, it’s because your religion is self-serving imagined crap and unworthy of respect.  And as for the ingratitude.. what’s to be grateful about?  Religion is used by people like you to control and influence people.  You reek of ingratitude when it comes to the efforts of our military forces and your attempt to cheapen the work they do is reprehensible.

Every day believers are being shot down in defeat or discouragement or immorality or pride or worldliness or liberal theology or men-pleasing, etc.

Oh, for fuck sake, do you make this twaddle up?  Get a grip man, oh, hang on, perhaps your grip is too tight.

All over the battle field our brothers and sisters are fallen, tied down, outgunned and overwhelmed.

Just what sort of senseless analogy is this Billy Saggy Baggy?  What a horrid image you draw and then you dare to compare that to real life battles where people have fallen, have been tied down, outgunned and overwhelmed.

All over the world Christians are wounded, under attack, outnumbered, or putting up the white flag of surrender. But the most tragic reality of all is that many believers do not even know we are in a battle.

Jesus fucking christ, what a fucking cunty attitude that is.  This is truly an unbelievable attitude to have and the imagery you are trying to provoke and use as a method of showing just how hard you poor little fucking sucky christians have it is tasteless and just plain pathetic.

While you’re whining about how bad things are for the true believer, those on the other side are saying the same thing.  You are no better than the Taliban, and other religious extremists.

I am truly disgusted, but not surprised.  May your front lawn be subjected to great amounts of alpaca poo.  Best get the gumboots outs.
