The New Blood Libel
In years past, the “blood libel” was a dispicible charge, usually against the Jews, that they were a dangerous people who engaged in human sacrifice. Today, the blood libel has reared it’s ugly head, in secular criticism of Christianity. The drum beat of anti-Christian nonsense, labeling Christians as intolerant, dangerous, violent bigots...who we are to be constantly wary of, or else…
Law and Order tonight was a full display of the New Blood Libel. It dreamed up an imaginary Church of jihad loving Christians, who were going to take up “war against the hypocrites”. A young boy is convinced to murder his mother for having an affair, with a Muslim no less, by his preacher. And an entire congregation calls him “God’s warrior”. As the police take the pastor away, you see perhaps a hundred children surrounding the police cars, threatening the cops with charges of “this is war”.
In the video they show, he asks the children, “What do we say to the Muslims who would face us? What do we say to the blasphemers who ruin God’s house?” Again the children chant “this is war!”
What point does this have other than to mock Christianity once more? The entire episode is a slander against good faithful men and women, by forcefully claiming that, not only this church, but the Christian men and women on the jury, sympathize with the pastor’s views, and agree with his inflammatory rhetoric.
The purpose of the blood libel was to convince the masses that a certain group of people were dangerous, couldn’t be trusted, and had to be removed, one way or another, from society. We see nothing less than that today in the relentless assault against Christianity.
Shameful.
