Al Qaeda and Evangelicals, Sex and Fear in uncertain and threatening times

What has Al Qaeda begat? Frolicking Evangelicals in the bedroom under the post bed banner of Genesis 2:24..."And they shall be one flesh."

The latest front in American Christianity's battle with Militant Islam is the bedroom. Where parishioners are enthusiastically urged by Pastors and Preachers to use Song Of Solomon 2:3 as guide for oral sex and The New Direction Christian Church, "40 nights of Grrreat Sex" program and it's daily planners with plums like Tuesday: Quickie in any room besides the bedroom. Are among a number of other Evangelical Christian sex instructors.

The new Direction Christian Church of Memphis , Tennessee, The relevant Church of Tampa, Florida and Evangelical-Fundamentalist authors as Tim LaHaye of the best selling Apocalyptic series "Left Behind", are the vanguard elements exhibiting the classic response of Sex as recourse in uncertain and threatening times.

The Boomer Generation lest we forget was the direct result of the uncertainty and threat from Hitler and Nazism, which spilled over into the Cold War with the Soviet Union.

Despite the biblical quotations as exhortations and the Dr. Phil like one-dimensional psychology in LaHaye's , "How to be Happy Through Marriage" book. Evangelical Christians are feeling pretty besieged these days. From their nightmarish honeymoon with George W. Bush and his absurd expedition in Babylonia, unable to tame and bring to heel the whore of war. To the triumph of Gays parading down California streets, marriage License in hand, a mortal blow to 40 years of conservative dictatorial aspiration.

Is it then any surprise that sex is their only refuge, a tether to convention from the fear of an Al Qaeda sought after caliphate.
