I don’t know if you’ve heard, but according to Joyce Behar
you are mentally ill. Now, don’t take offense. It’s not you in particular, it’s
everyone who has ever heard the voice of God, or who has ever felt the presence
of God in their lives.
Yes, if you are a Christian, if you speak to God and God
speaks back, according to this juggernaut of intellectual prowess with the
melodious voice of a chainsaw cutting through a barbed wire fence, you are
mentally ill.
This entire hornet’s nest was kicked over within the context
of a discussion of Vice President Mike Pence’s faith, and the fact that he said
he spoke to God, and God spoke to him as well. That’s all it took for the shrew
on the View and her insipid post-menopausal cohorts to snatch off their
otherwise benign masks and show the world the depths of their bigotry and
vitriol against the Christian faith, and against Christians in particular.
I realize a large segment of Christendom will likely shrug
this off as they do everything else. They will either relegate the statement
that anyone who hears the voice of God is by association mentally ill to mere
words, or roll their eyes and say, “well the Bible does say that the message of
the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, doesn’t it?”
Sorry, but these were not mere words, nor was this someone
saying that the message of the cross is foolishness. This was something far more
sinister, far more fowl, and in a moment of naked honesty Joy Behar tipped her
hand, and verbalized what most of the mass media and Hollywood believe about
Christians and Christianity.
To these people it’s not the adult male who starts putting on
a dress and eyeliner and starts calling himself Betty that is mentally ill, it
is someone who has a relationship with Jesus, and who fellowships with God on a
regular basis.
“Even so, what’s the harm?”
Well, perhaps as of now, very little, but it does lay the foundation
for something wholly wicked and utterly destructive. In order to actively
pursue the silencing and persecution of any segment of the population you must
first isolate, dehumanize, and deem them inferior to the majority. It is only
after you have marginalized and demonized a certain segment that you are able
to criminalize them, which in turn leads to their incarceration, and eventual
extermination.
You think that this can’t happen? The holocaust didn’t take
place six centuries ago; it took place eight decades ago. That’s right, eighty
years! There are people who were in concentration camps who are still alive
today, so to anyone who would bloviate about how we are more enlightened a
creature than our ancestors, save me your sanctimony.
We are eighty year separated from the systematic
extermination of six million people, so don’t you dare tell me it can’t happen,
or that it will never happen again.
How did one of the darkest periods of human history begin?
Well, by isolating a segment of the population, at that time the Jews, and
making them out to be something less than human.
Again, to those with no foresight, the statement Madame Behar
belched out on national television may seem harmless, but take the statement to
its rightful conclusion and see the sinister foundation it established.
‘Anyone who claims to hear the voice of God is mentally ill!’
That was the premise of her argument. Now, let’s look five,
ten years down the road, wherein that statement has become the new normal, and
everyone begins to agree with it because of its repetitive nature from movies,
television, the news, radio, and every other media outlet.
Why would you hazard to allow mentally ill people to teach
their own children about morals and godliness? It’s child endangerment, isn’t
it? So every Christian is now mentally ill, therefore they are unsuited for the
task of raising their own children.
In comes the nanny state and ‘for the wellness and safety of
the child’ they take your children away and place them with a ‘normal’ lesbian
couple who like to dress up like life sized dogs in the weekends just for fun
and whatnot.
All the while, they pity you, because you are after all
mentally ill, and you don’t know any better. By the same token, you are no
longer allowed an opinion on anything, because we all know mentally ill people
can’t be trusted to make rational decisions…Look at all the outcry over
transgender bathrooms! You’d think these people actually thought they were
within their rights when they insisted the government put the safety of their
defenseless children over the need to feed into the irrational fantasies of
mentally deranged adult individuals.
It’s stunning, is it not, that representatives of the bastion
of perversion, pederasty, and pedophilia are calling people of faith mentally
ill, while refusing to shine a light on the sewer they inhabit to get a glimpse
of all the creepy crawly things slithering about.
One thing is certain: Joy Behar is a bigot, and she despises
Christians and Christianity.
If you allow this narrative to become the norm you do so at
your own peril, and the future peril of your children. I for one will not sit
by and allow human detritus to call me mentally ill, no matter how screechy her
voice might be.
As a final thought, please remember that meek does not mean
helpless, and the two words are not interchangeable. My God give us the
boldness we need in an hour such as this.
With love in Christ,
Michael Boldea Jr.
