Star Wars Christianity
There's a scene in the original "Star Wars"...
Imperial storm-troopers are searching for Luke and his friends. As they approach the spot where Luke and friends are hiding, Obi-Wan Kenobi takes a stance in front of the storm-troopers' officer, looks commandingly in his face, and says, "There's nothing to see here."
The officer turns and says to his men, "There's nothing to see here."
Obi-Wan Kenobi says to the officer, "Move along !"
The officer dutifully commands his men, "Move along !"
Yeah, it's like that.
Trumpi-Wan Kenobi looks the Church in the eye, and says, "Nothing to see here." No lies, no viciousness, no arrogance, no unrighteousness ...no wrong spirit...at the heart of America's government. And the "leaders" of the American Church dutifully tell their people, "Nothing to see here, Christians."
The difference is that Trump's not even trying to hide his pride, his hatred, and his lies. His spirit, his unrighteous spirit, is in plain sight, every day, continually: exactly as he thinks it should be, and demands it be...himself every Page 1 story, every place in all the world, every minute.
But never mind, Church. Keep posting your Bible-verses about salvation and your "Like if you love Jesus !" memes on facebook. Nothing spiritual to see in the world's daily events..
Pay no attention to the spirit behind the curtain.
