Gospel of Unbelief - Christ or Constitution

Lots of fuss over Jesus walking on sheets of ice and a piece of fiction called the Duh Vinci Code. It isn’t so much different than the critics of the Constitution and the lives of the founding fathers. The followers are all misguided, deluded or at least misdirected until more wiser counsel can be obtained. No doubt it will have to come from the left to straighten out the crazed conservative zealots.

Liberals have long been tampering, undermining and basically lying about the truth for years in the church. In many MSC’s the brand of liberal Christianity would not more resemble the original than Socialist France would resemble 1800 America. For that matter, little of the liberals vision for America would resemble the vision laid out by the founders. So Cal Thomas goes after the latest moon-bats in the religious realm. Perhaps you will see the similarities in this excerpt.

Newspapers also carried a story about a Florida State University scientist who speculated that Jesus didn’t really walk on water; he walked on ice. The scientist theorized there must have been an unusual cold snap 2,000 years ago that froze the Sea of Galilee. This begs the question how Jesus was able to pull off such a stunt when Peter also walked on water, before his lack of faith sank him.

The New York Times piled on by trumpeting the discovery of a fossil in Arctic Canada as a “missing link,” which it editorialized “puts the lie to creationist beliefs.”

Not exactly.

Next was a story on the “Gospel of Judas,” a work written between 130 and 170 C.E., long after the events it purports to describe. In this document, Jesus is revealed as having urged Judas to betray him. That a number of Judas’ contemporaries said otherwise in Scripture matters not to skeptics.

Adding to the gospel of unbelief is the movie version of the best-selling novel, “The Da Vinci Code,” which, if it is faithful to the book, will mix a few historical facts with a great deal of fiction. The book claims Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered children. The film is scheduled for release next month. Like the book, the movie will have as much to do with fact as Oliver Stone’s film on the Kennedy assassination.

The Gospel of Unbelief. Jesus walking on water… sure, but it was frozen. Single… but not really. Instead he married the prostitute. Son of God… but a real sinner in the Temptation of Christ. So it goes. Double speak. Perhaps you noticed it about the illegal aliens who aren’t Americans. Oh…. sorry about that. Undocumented Americans who are the backbone of America. Sorry about the slip.

Aren’t you glad there are people so smart that they can clear these things up for us, whether it is about Jesus or the Constitution. Only in America.
