Fundies are at it again.
Lordy, lordy…they’re at it again. It wasn’t enough, back in the early ’80s, to destroy lives with bullshit, they are looking to start it again. “Forward by Charlie Kirk” 🤮.
“Confronting America’s Godless Uprising”, I would laugh at the contradiction but as I do remember the devastation caused by “Xtians” with no real understanding of their own religion, let alone mine; let’s just start here, Neo-Pagans (that’s actually what we are) are polytheistic, not godless…
I did see this referenced as a “Tempest in a Teapot” and I would, heartily, disagree after witnessing the elevation of a racist, homophobic faux-Christian influencer to sainthood. There are enough of these idiots to create a danger for anyone not involved with their cult. They filled a freaking auditorium. The whole thing gave off Jim Jones/Heaven’s Gate vibes. Make no mistake, they are fanatics and as fanatics, they are dangerous.
The Satanic Panic gained an insane amount of attention, even law enforcement became involved. Innocent people were arrested, charged with the most heinous of crimes with NO EVIDENCE. Kind of like what ICE is doing, currently. If someone was to have told me, even 5 years ago, that the United States would turn into a pseudo-Nazi State, run by a dementia addled leader? I, honestly, would have encouraged them to have their medications checked. And here we are..
Discounting the threat to non-Xtians is a seriously risky road to take. These pseudo-Xtians are dangerous. They are dangerous to Neo-Pagans, to the Black, Hispanic, Asian populations, the LGBTQ2S+ folks and anyone else who doesn’t freckle in the sun and thump the bible, at every opportunity, (yet haven’t actually read the thing). These religious fascists thrive on fear. It is their primary weapon and selling point. We ignore them at our own peril.
It only took 1 book to truly start the ball rolling in 1980 – Michele Remembers; it behooves us to remember that.
