They do it on Purpose

They do it on purpose.  They want to take over anything that gives them authority. They want to be police officers, medical technicians, pharmacists, therapists, lawyers, judges, and a host of other positions that exert authority over you.  They want to have power over you. They want to see you in pain, begging for help that they can give, but won’t.  They want you to bow your head to them. They want you to accept your lot in life, praying to god that it will get better while you trudge through a daily grind where they win and you lose.

Who are these people, you ask.  Is it a secret Satanic cabal? Is it the Zionists? The Illuminati?

No.  It’s the white supremacist evangelical fundamentalists.

Years ago, there came into being a semi-organized push to make evangelical Christianity the law and custom of America.  It was not a fully organized effort like you might think. It was just a simple message: get into places of power, reproduce as much as possible and get your children in places of power.  That’s it.  That’s all there was to it. 

Now, the message was never quite that obvious.  We were told that we were to lead in the name of Christ. We were told that we were better than anyone else, and that of course we were driven by God to help our fellow citizens by leading them to Christ.  We were told that loving Christ was more important than anything, and that we needed to give the “good news” to everyone.   We were told that we were special, loved by God, loved by Jesus, and that our lives on Earth would be blessed if we followed and were good Christians. 

We were told that we were soldiers for Christ, that we were to wear our armor and lead others to Christ like Generals in the military.  We were told that because we were blessed, that we were natural leaders.

We were told that our purity would show in our skin and our ability to blush. We were shown, over and over and over, how all the technological advances were done by white men, and so naturally, white men were amazing and great and that we should follow them.  

As we grew up, our pastors told us that we were becoming a minority, and that we needed to become police officers and judges so that we would not lose our rights.  We were told that rights given to others (you know, anyone not white, but don’t mention that or the libs would start screaming) would mean rights taken away from us.  They told us that we needed to take back our country and that it was being ruined by people that were other. 

This message has been going out from the pulpits for fifty years.  Technically, it’s been going on longer, but it’s now coming to a head and we are seeing it all over the nation.


It is a well-known phenomenon, but even though the FBI does consider it domestic terrorism, you won’t see it written or talked about as such.   We can’t have a country where we are allowed to discuss the actual terrorism within our walls: that caused by white, evangelical Christians who want to turn the country into a theocracy. 

These people are the Christian Taliban. They want nothing more than to be in power and lord it over anyone and everyone that will not fight back.  And to make things worse, they are gathering more and more militaristic equipment so that they can better kill people who are “other”. 

I guess it isn’t important though. After all, it’s not being shone on mainstream news.  So it can’t be as important as the latest scandal. 

And if you call them out, they will scream to the rooftops that you are being bigoted against them. After all, pointing out that the worst crimes are committed by people with this ideology goes against the narrative of them being the best.  It goes against the idea that they can be anything other than the greatest. 

Maybe it’s just not important.

Maybe, everyone should bow their heads.

Maybe, everyone should just obey.

Maybe everyone should know their place.
