Jesus Loves Osama! (and I'm a d-bag)

Post by weemadando »

According to the Baptist church in Australia [url=http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21 ... .htmlJesus Loves Osama[/url]. This news has a lot of people very irate. So I thought I'd inflame the matter by sending a letter to the editor about it:
People are up in arms because they don't think that Jesus would approve of Osama Bin Laden? Jesus, our Lord and Saviour who preached violence over peace (Matthew 10:34), who said that any city that did not accept his preachings should be destroyed and the inhabitants eternally tormented in hell (Matthew 11:21, Mark 6:11, Luke 10:10). The kind Lamb of God who calls for non-believers to be killed before him, in the name of God (Luke 19:22). Surely people should just understand that all Osama is doing is the work of Jesus, in bringing non-believers before the throne of God/Allah/Jehovah for judgement. He's just doing it a bit more effectively of late than the Christians who are reduced to the occasional murder of doctors and scientists for involvement in family planning, or stem cell research. Prayer will only carry you so far my Christian brothers, God wants, nay - demands blood, and you've got a lot of catching up to do if you want to join Osama at the Lord's side in Heaven.

Who did you send it to?

So will I. Of course if he wrote something that inflammatory but just right wing orientated you can bet my local paper would publish it. Too bad there just aren't any major left wing newspapers in Perth.

That last sentence had me rolling. And all I could think of was "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"

Please let us know of any sort of response that gets
