Modern Pharisees, The Extermination of Native Americans and The Dehumanization of Black People
Evangelicals as all totalitarians and hypocrites suffer from memory loss. Contemporary culture which they have become petty hucksters and hustlers railing against is a reaction to the once upon a time supremacy of a historical "Christian" status quo.
The extermination of Native Americans and the primal seizure of their patrimony and the land, the enslavement, and dehumanization of Black people didn't occur in a porn saturated, LGBTQ-Drag Queen prancing, aborted fetuses galore, disrespect of killer cops, "Godless" Hollywood culture.
Instead the savagery wrought and practiced by "White" European invaders of America, the extermination of Native Americans, the enslavement of Black people happened upon their biblical understandings when it was the dominant cultural organizing force. The sun as witness to "White" European savagery rose and set year after year within the culture apology of the bible.
So what historical biblical moral authority are we being demanded a return to our evangelical compatriots? Weren't enough Native Americans exterminated, haven't Black people been dehumanized enough under their historical biblical morality that they dare lecture us that modern, contemporary culture is Godless and lacking biblical morality.
When "they" Evangelicals and their modern Pharisees self recognize the fact that the apogee of their biblical moral authority is a carriesque Jesus Christ wearing blood-drenched and soaked garments on a white horse. An image, the fertile image of "Godless" Hollywood is yet to organically conjure, despite carrie, is only a motif of the very culture these modern Pharisees have monetized railing against.
