Mordor Up Close

This excellent essay was written by Erick Erickson over at RedState.  Pretty well sums the whole Duck Dynasty thing up.

Mordor Up Close


By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  December 23rd, 2013 at 12:01 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA


The Orcs of Middle Earth had mouths stained with their black blood and bits of flesh stuck between their teeth. They would, over rather petty matters, kill and consume each other. The carnage between them would only cease when an elf, dwarf, hobbit, or human ventured too close.

Unseen by most of the world, the carnage between the evil bands of Mordor played out over the weekend here on actual earth. Some PR representative who should have known better joked on twitter that she was going to Africa and would not have to worry about getting AIDS because she was white. Prior to this, in her twitter timeline, she had railed against the actor Kirk Cameron because he dared express his Christian beliefs.
 
Just as Mordor descended on Phil Robertson last week, the orcs of the left consumed one of their own. By the time the PR lady got to Africa, she was without a job and her reputation destroyed by her own side.
 
It was a rather disgusting thing to watch the pretentious hipsters on twitter destroy a career over a tweet claiming she should have known better. Yes, she should have, but should we not also show some grace? Mordor never does.

About the only thing more pathetic this past week was watching self-declared and, in some cases, media profiled celebrity Christians, speak up as loudly as possible to let the world know they had utter contempt for what Phil Robertson had said.

It's good.  The final paragraph/sentence is dead on.

Excellent article. I like this part:

Quote
Too many people are worshiping the Jesus they created, not the Jesus who is. Christ said to love, but he also said to go and sin no more. To love someone and not share the gospel — which includes a call for a penitent heart — is not truly love. It is this world’s definition of love, which, like the orcs or [sic] Mordor, is a perversion of the real thing God created.

The last sentence of the article as eluded to BlueStateSaint, is spot on:

"Mordor is on the march. Christians could use a few less quislings. It is only going to get worse."


Mordor on the Potomac is indeed, on the march.   :censored:
