TODAY’S posting was prompted by this intriguing Reuters photograph: The imbecile Bush whispering something to Kurt Carr – who looks a bit nonplussed at finding himself in the President’s clutches during a ceremony in honour of Black History Month at the White House in mid-June.
Being of an enquiring mind, I wondered who the poor, bespectacled victim was.
Well, according to Jesus-Is-Savour.com, Carr is:
One of the most popular and successful African-American Gospel entertainers in the world today.
Cool – if you’re into the saccharine, touchy-feely variety of Christianity.
But then comes the sucker-punch. JiS does not like Carr. In fact, JiS’s David J Stewart – an “expert” on the subject of “Satanism and immorality in Rock and Roll” – has nothing but a mouthful of contempt for the popular gospel singer.
Fundies, as we all know, detest all sorts of things, but why should Carr – a Christian – incur Stewart’s wrath?
Because Carr – “a false prophet” – uses his music to promote “unity and diversity”.
The singer is quoted as saying:
The purpose of my ministry is to bring unity to the body of Christ. It’s also to create more diversity and unification among the different races and cultures.
Is that a bad thing? You bet!
Stewart, clearly a first division lunatic, fulminates:
We are living in perilous times of woeful apostasy. Never before have we witnessed so many so-called ‘Christians’ who live like the sinful world, look like the sinful world, talk like the sinful world, and fraternise with the sinful world. Kurt Carr is no exception … He is a phony and should be avoided by all Christ-honouring Christians. Anytime some so-called ‘Christian’ is spouting off about unity and diversity; but they never mention Biblical separation, you know the Devil is involved (sic).
Another of those confusing parody Christian sites? Nope, this one’s far too illiterate and badly constructed to be a spoof.
Stewart continues:
I dare you to show me anywhere in the Bible where such a ministry is mentioned. Is this what God wants? Does God want to unify the races and cultures of the world? No! The biblical account of Babel is clear proof that it was God who segregated mankind. This was for mankind’s own good, because when men unite – it’s always against God. Study the great men of God throughout history and you’ll find that they always stood ALONE, were very unpopular, and the world hated them with a passion.
Errr … like Stephen “Birdshit” Green?
Carr deceitfully speaks of seeking to bring unity to the body of Christ; but then infers that such unity means uniting the cultures and races of the world. No, that is heathendom. The only way to achieve unity amongst the human race is through idolatry, where each member submits to a New Age god. The Bible-believing Christian will NEVER unite with unbelievers, or with other believers who are worldly.
At this point exasperation – and a headache induced by the site’s nightmare typography and migraine-inducing colours – overtook curiosity. I powered down the Mac, headed downtown to hook up with a few fellow heathens, and washed the bad taste out of my mouth with several idolatrous scotches.
Read the rest of the barmpot Stewart’s ravings here – then thank your lucky stars that you were never tempted to surrender your wits to God.
