From time to time we have all seen different types of Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. By that I mean some are more extreme than others. Then of course you have different grades of extreme. We will show you what the average Joe Believes compared to US – the FAITHFUL!
I think most Christians would point out Westboro Church as one extreme for Christianity, and we don’t need to go into how evil they portray themselves as. I truly think they have some major screws loose.
Then of course more recently we have had our experiences of seeing what extremists over in the middle east can do over what they CLAIM was an insult to their faith due to some stupid film. I say stupid, because even if most people actually had seen the trailer (which I had not) – not FILM as they claim on Youtube? I doubt very much they would have stayed to watch the entire thing. Most people wouldn’t have got past the first 2 minutes without exiting the video. It was that badly done, and they wouldn’t have bothered wasting brain cells on it. That’s the reality of it.
Both of these examples are extreme to the point of dangerous, and quite frankly claim they are protesting against something ‘awful and evil’. If you look past the surface? Westboro Church shows you a God that pretty much hates everyone, and anyone. The militants in the middle east are playing out revenge, and using their own people under the guise of ‘lack of respect and honor’ towards their faith.
Most extreme groups like this use propaganda, and they point out some fringe group as their examples of ‘the average everyday joe’. This of course is to be used to show how ‘evil’ most people are, and how ‘faithful’ they are in comparison.
The extreme complementarians do this as well. They use the most extreme models to ratchet up their ‘us against them’ game.
Most can see how some groups are more successful at their lies and deceit than others. I feel sorry badly for their victims, and pray for them as well. I don’t think they realize they are being used.
The Extreme Feminist beliefs BACKFIRE!
Recently, Elizabeth Esther had an article that represents the extreme case you hear about towards feminism. The old tired speech about how they only think of themselves, and hate children, etc. She pointed out a poster child article of just that. Disappearing Mothers was the title of the article, and quite frankly the author seems so out of touch with reality its not even funny.
