narcissistic idolization of self, bad eschatology, and Cult Accessories Inc. (providing black cloaks and Kool-Aid discounts for mouth-breathing Satan worshipers since 1955).

I'm speaking, of course, about this article about the return of Jesus (pronounced hay-sous).

A few excerpts:

"These people belong to a new movement devoted to a man who calls himself the Second Coming of Jesus, and also claims the title of Antichrist, which to him is the next incarnation of Jesus on earth, not an evil being."
Really? So Christ and Antichrist are the same? That's a bit like saying Hitler and Churchill were the same; or Weird Al Yankovich and Coldplay. I'm pretty sure "anti" still means "opposite."


"This self-proclaimed Jesus does not believe in sin, hell, the devil or damnation of any kind."
That must mean that Jesus has seriously changes His views in the last 2,000 years. I'm pretty sure He wasn't talking about Neverland in Matthew 25:41, or Mark 9, or Luke 16, or any other of His 70 references to hell and sin and the devil, and well, all those things that de Jesus doesn't talk about.


This one is probably the saddest quote, and straight from the man himself:
"So you tell the millions of followers I have that … this guy is a liar. You know what are they going to say? Is that I prefer his lies than what religion gave me."
I can only say that this is probably true. And it is probably the result of a culture that has failed to teach such principles as delayed gratification or the sanctity of life. And it is probably the result of a church that has failed to express the joys of holy living or the benefits of obedience to a loving, wise, sovereign Father. It is the fault of sinful people who want religion without the law, a religion that does not require change, but neither does it provide any merit. It is the fault of other sinful people who don't love enough and don't preach to strangers enough and don't recognize the blessed or agonizing length of an eternity.
Those duped by de Jesus haven't been told about the pain and madness of the love of God. They haven't been told how much their sins required God to injure His Son. They haven't been shown the absolute insanity of the gospel.

They have not chosen to reject the insanity of de Jesus worship for the insanity of worshiping Someone True.
