Conservative Christians Delight In The Punishment And Pain Of Others

"We Can Be Pretty Sure That Many Good People Are Roasting In Hell"

Alan: Not just many people, but "many good people."

Dear Fred,


I do not know if The Thinking Housewife is getting weirder or if I'm growing more attuned to her weirdness.

In any event the post pasted below, "Bumper Sticker," is not only bizarre but gratuitously uncharitable. 

It often seems that Christian conservatives delight in punishment/pain as if sadism were an indispensable pillar of goodness.

"Christian Conservatism: "The Saved," "The Damned," "The Rich," "The Poor"


Hey Christian! How Many Of Jesus' Moral Stands Do You Approve? 
Take The Test!

Consistent with The Know-Nothing Nativism, to whose lineage The Thinking Housewife belongs, Ms. Wood is, ironically, anti-Catholic despite her profession of RC ultra-orthodoxy. (I hold that ultra-orthodoxy is anti-Catholic.)

Like the Pharisees, the Know Nothings are always with us.

No matter how quixotic it proves to be, Germany's treatment of immigrant refugees is more Christian than the spiteful bitterness  that Laura considers Christianity under aegis of Pope Paul IV. 

Pope Paul IV, 1476 - 1559. Proto-Nazi?

The Hard, Central Truth Of Contemporary Conservatism

The hard, central "fact" of contemporary "conservatism" is its insistence on a socio-economic threshold above which people deserve government assistance, and below which people deserve to die. 

The sooner the better. 

Unless conservatives are showing n'er-do-wells The Door of Doom, they just don't "feel right." 

To allay this chthonic anxiety, they resort to Human Sacrifice,  hoping that spilled blood will placate "the angry gods," including the one they've made of themselves. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/09/harvard-study-45000-americans-die.html 

Having poked their eyes out, they fail to see  that self-generated wrath creates "the gods" who hold them thrall.

Almost "to a man," contemporary "conservatives" have apotheosized themselves and now -- sitting on God's usurped throne -- are rabid to pass Final Judgment

Self-proclaimed Christians, eager to thrust "the undeserving" through The Gates of Hell, are the very people most likely to cross its threshold. 

Remarkably, none of them are tempted to believe this.
