I don't much get into TV programs save except for the 700 club and the occasional Hangin' with Mr. Cooper rerun.  I choose to avoid even the highly acclaimed Fox News because of it's obvious liberal bias.  I avoid ALL music (both Christian and secular) because of it's proclivity toward the sin of dancing.  1Thessalonians 5:22 is quite clear on that issue.  Unfortunately, circumstances in our value depleted society have called for me to tune back in.  Tune back in to the pinnacle of ungodly programming - Reality TV.  More specifically, American Idol, just as it was on the cusp of destroying our Nation. 

I loathe even discussing this form of  entertainment.  I know folks, these are sick, sick times we are living in!  But sadly, live in them we must until Jesus comes to take us 'chosen ones' home. I wake up every morning hoping to be raptured into Heaven during my morning drive, my Hummer smashing into some unsuspecting godless atheist looking confused and finally realizing the error of his ways before he's shipped straight to Hell courtesy of my front fender!  What was happening on that show this year was not something He could, I could, nor any true Christian or proud American worth his salt could live with.  

In the following paragraphs I will outline the terrifying 'reality' that almost came to pass because of this show.  I will also shed light on the heroic efforts by some great Christian Warriors that saved us from these atrocities.

As I am sure that most of you have not watched this American "False" Idol I will briefly explain how it works.  It is a singing competition that hundreds of thousands of late teen to twenty-somethings try out for to win a million dollar recording contract.  First they go in front of judges and once the field gets narrowed down to 12 the public gets to vote on who they like.  Unfortunately, the judges made a terrible error and allowed an unsavory sort to make it into this elite group.  His name was Adam Lambert.  It was beyond terrible, unforgivable would be more accurate.  Had he won, we could have expected the most terrible disasters in history to strike us immediately.  I was almost fooled by this wolf in sheep's (more like beautifully tailored silk and satin) clothing.

A gentleman in my bible study group had told me about this fellow, said he had the voice of an angel and that there was also a couple of other fine young Christians in the top 12; Chris Allen and Danny Gokey.  I fell to the sin of curiosity and watched the show the following week.

My First Impression -

Adam Lambert  - Dressed in a suit with his hair perfectly coifed sang Tracks of My Tears (obviously not a Christian song but certainly not a window into his true sickness that would show later) and I must admit he brought me to tears.  He did sound like an angel.  A beautiful angel.  Being the sinner that I am, I am embarrassed to admit that this boy had my loins a flutter in a way I have not felt since my wedding night.  Please forgive me Jesus.

I spent the next week looking up everything I could find on this young man, every youtube video, every article, anything I could get my hands on!  I needed to find out just who was this person?  A person that Jesus had so obviously favored and gave him this voice!  Sure, I found rumors of deviancy's. Terrible disgusting deviancy's.  Fortunately, I knew realized they were just that though, rumors.  There was no way this Adam fellow could not fool me and The Big J!  He was good Christian boy, and I knew it!  His voice was the proof.  If he was the deviant of those pictures, and video's, and interviews, and yearbook photos, Jesus would have cursed him with leprosy or gout and made him sound like Taylor Hicks or something.

Danny Gokey-    A youth Pastor with a raspy voice and a dead wife.  Good Christian!  Nuff Said.

Chris Allen-    A youth Pastor with a pleasant little voice and a living wife.  Good Christian!  

The Horrors!

It got down to these three guys and at church on Sunday my Pastor dropped the bombshell and brought to our attention the pending Apocalypse.  Adam Lambert was in fact a HOMOSEXUAL!  HE WAS IN THE TOP THREE!  A HOMOSEXUAL!  HOW COULD WE HAVE LET THIS HAPPEN?!  I could not imagine what it could mean to our Country, our WAY OF LIFE, if this gay won!  If he actually beat out good righteous Christian's!  I just threw up again thinking about it!  If he won - the following would be true.

American Idol = Gay Idol = Gay GOD - America would now worship a GAY GOD!!!  

#1 - Kids would think it was 'cool' to be gay!  All the school age boys would start sodomizing each other in the lunch rooms, on the school bus, you name it!

#2- Kids would think it was OK to be 'different'!  Different is NOT OK WITH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!  This I know FOR SURE!

#3- Gays would be permitted to marry!  Why not?!  A gay American 'False' Idol, showing kindness and courtesy to everyone would automatically lead to gay marriages.  It only makes sense!

#4- Bestiality!  See my previous post on vegetarians!

#5- Christians would have been oppressed yet again!  We have been fighting persecution for centuries!  We can't teach creationism in school, we can't stone adulterous in public, and now we're asked to show deference to what God clearly labels an "abomination" - along with shrimp.

Gods Grace Saves The Day - As Always, The Lords Will is Carried Out

Praise God that my church was not the only one to take notice and take action.  We band together and got the word out.  Danny gracefully realized that he needed to sacrifice his spot in the competition for the greater good.

Danny knew his Christian vote would automatically go to Chris.

False Idol advertisers and affiliates got the word out that it was imperative to our economy that Chris is had to defeat Adam.  Can  you imagine having to listen to a gay person sing "Wish Upon a Star" for Disney?  Wish upon the alter of Satan is more like it.  No, Disney, Ford, At&T etc. made sure to give Christ's team a leg up by showing Chris supporters how to power text.  

This was a classic case of David and Goliath.  Classic except for the fact that this Goliath likes to take it in his brown starfish.

We defeated him.  We won.  We may have had to take some drastic measures,  but in desperate times - well you know.  We told them that we voted for Chris because Adam had too much experience even though Chris had the same amount.  We told them we voted for Chris because Adam was too 'showy'.  We told them exactly what they needed to hear just so we didn't have to tell them the truth.  The truth that we voted for Chris simply so the hell-bound Homo wouldn't win, and send us straight into Satan's grasp.

Yes, Adam gave me goose bumps every time he sang.  No, Chris never did.  So What!?  Chris is a man of the Lord and isn't that all that matters here?

Yes, it is!  Praise God!

God Bless,

It starts out innocently enough.  Maybe it's that kid in your class that loved Mickey Mouse.  The kid had a Mickey lunch box, T-shirt, book-bag, etc.  He couldn't tell you why he liked Mickey, or even any one thing in particular that he liked about him, just the he liked him.  It was his 'thing'.  At some point his mom probably decided that it was cute if she made little Timmy into a 'Mickey Kid'.  That way, if one of her friends at bible study were going to Disneyland she could say, 'Oh my little Timmy, he just LOVES his Mickey!  I don't know what I am going to do with that little bugger!', and feel like she had some sort of ownership over all things Disney.  

As for little Timmy, the 'thing' problem was still pretty harmless but Timmy was going to grow up into an adult.

In my late teens/early twenties this problem not only continued, it got more prevalent.  It seemed more and more people, took hold of more and more 'things'.  They became far more serious about their ownership of said, 'thing'.  I had this guy at work that just loved the Mariners and all things related.  He would make it known, pretty much upon introduction, that man, oh man, did he ever LOVE those Mariners!  There was that chick that LOVED Orlando Bloom.  Her e-mail address was something like iloveorlando@.  She would sit in chat rooms all day telling everyone how SHE was his biggest fan.  Or there was the lady who loved all things M&M.  We once went on a team building trip to Vegas and she would do nothing but hang out at the M&M factory.  I don't think she even enjoyed the factory after the first hour but that didn't matter.  It was her 'thing' and she had to show us all how much it was hers.   Even if that meant wasting her entire trip there, bored to tears.

Although these people annoyed the shit out of me, it was still a harmless practice.

Here is where the problem comes in; these people are now adults.  They have joined, or become more active in, their church.  They have let go of their individual 'things' to take hold of the churches 'things'.  There is a switch from having a 'thing' that they love, to having a 'thing' that they hate.  Do you know what they hate?  Abortion, gay marriage and liberals.  Simple as that.  Miss iloveorlando@ has now become chselife4bby@.  Mariner games have gave way to Promise Keepers.  Like little Timmy, they can't tell you why they hate it, or really anything in particular about it all.  Just that they hate it.

How can an entire group of people all have the exact same hateful passion?  How in the hell does believing in Jesus, who taught about love and acceptance, have one fucking thing to do with being a republican?  I do not see the correlation between Jesus and any of these issues.  Yet they are an entire HUGE group of people acting as though the first lines in the bible read, "Jesus says, 'No abortion.  Marriage is between a man and a woman only.  Vote Republican.  You may pick and choose at will through the remainder of this Book".

Don't get me wrong, I am not even trying to insinuate that I have a clue as to how Jesus would weigh in on these issues.  I am just saying that they don't either.

I didn't have many questions for M&M girl or Mariner guy.  Their 'things' weren't important, they didn't effect me.  These new ones are, and do.  They effect us all.  Even if they could not produce an answer, I would love for them to at least consider the following -

Regarding Abortion (and their burning desire to ban it under all circumstances) - 

Foremost, why is this even a concern for you?  Do you need it banned because God needs a mere mortals help in deciding life and death issues?  Does He not have this one covered?   Does He not possess this power to decide if a life is to be born (or extinguished)?  Is it that you lack faith in His power or is it arrogance in your own?

When people die, don't you say, 'They are in a better place, God needed them more than we do and God has called them home?'  If you believe this, why would you even want/force anyone to come here instead of that, 'better place'?  That seems cruel.  Cruel that you would want to take away their chance to walk with Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven, without ever having to endure the sufferings of Earth.  And crueler, since their sufferings here on Earth, on average, will far surpass the norm.  Possibly born to a mother that is not ready emotionally or financially to be a mom?  Born with birth defects, possibly severe?  Many reasons.  If and until, you and Sarah Pallin are ready to insure these kids do not have to suffer the consequences of your will, it does not seem very Christian of you to try to enforce it.  Second, what happened to the 'God needed them and called them home' part?  Is it again that God needs your help?  If I were Him, you guys would really be starting to tick me off.

I had two extremely close (of the BFF variety), childhood friends became 'born again' a few years back.  We are no longer friends.  Not because I rejected them for changing so drastically, but because I would not change with them (the fact that they kept telling me my grandparents are in hell was an added bonus).  Getting back to my question - both of these friends had abortions in their teens, and both immediately upon becoming Christian many years later, became vocal opponents of it.  You become born again - you hate abortion and think being gay is a choice.  No ifs and or buts.  Anywho, according to them, thanks in part to their decisions to have abortions, did these woman find their way to the Lord.  I have to assume their story is not an unusual one.  Here is my question (finally) - why would you want to take this same path to finding Him away from another woman?  Again, why do you think God needs your help?  He couldn't help change a woman's mind if He so chose?  He couldn't have a chat with her?  You are always bragging about how he talks to you...

You say that you are so pro-life right?  Every life is just so fucking precious to you right?  These fetus's are innocent so they need your protection right?  Well then how can you be PRO WAR?  Where is your 'every life is precious' in that case?  Innocent children get killed in war too you morons.  It doesn't make any sense. 

I am not even going to get into the other two 'things'.  Being against gay marriage is so asinine in my book that it doesn't even merit argument.  Loving Jesus equating to being a Republican is also such a ridiculous notion that it too, is without argument.

Socrates said, 'The unexamined life is not worth living'.  Is it is fair to say that the unexamined blind following of anything, be it an idea/notion/religion/'THING', is not worth following?

These people with their 'things' used to annoy me.  Now I feel sorry for them.  It is truly embarrassing that they mindlessly adhere to manufactured notions, so obviously unexamined.  Embarrassing that they then shout out their ignorance to the world.

I am not bitter though.  Nope, not at all.
