Everything You Know is Wrong
…I’ll get to that in a minute. Lately, it feels that liberals and non-believers in general have established a very interesting (if not bewildering) thought process. Famed atheist, Richard Dawkins, recently visited the First Parish Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, , and made the following statements to cheers and applause: “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
He said this in a CHURCH!!! Well, they call themselves a church, but a glance at their web-site becomes confusing very quickly. Even though you’ll find many references to “worship” and “religious community”, you won’t find who they worship, or anything having to do with an actual religion (except the pseudo-religion of Universalism). I find it a little amusing at how a group will do nothing but denounce a particular faith (mainly Christianity), and will still pick out the things that they can use for their own organization (Sunday “worship services”, a “church” building, “ministers”). It reminds me of Christmas when a toddler unwraps a beautiful outfit, throws it aside and goes off to play with the empty box. It is very scary (albeit, illogical) that is seems like the main-stream knows everything that is right or wrong, true or false, good or bad, But if you’re a Christian, you’re an intolerant, homophobic racist who thinks that it rains because “God is crying”. They know that God doesn’t exist, that the Big-Bang theory has been proved, that we have everything in common with apes (except for prenups and abortions) and that Global Warming will wipe us out in 10 years if we don’t act fast. Well, Al Gore has been saying that for the past 8, 14, and 30 years, depending on which part of his interview you watch on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, so which is it? Do we only have 2 years to change, or did the world end 20 years ago? I just love how people on the far-left and Atheists KNOW these things for certain, but those of faith know nothing. It reminded me of the chorus of a Weird Al Yankovic song, the title of today’s post, “Everything you know is Wrong”:
Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn’t matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong.
“What a perfect example of what they’re trying to sell us“, was my immediate thought. Atheists and Far-Lefters are trying to tell us that up is down and short is long, and some are buying it!

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character”
Maybe he’s onto something here, though—how much of today’s “standards” really reflect God’s standards? This guy’s remarks are a symptom of a much greater problem: the idolatry of man.
I don’t think it’s a new problem… I think it’s always been this way with those “who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth” (v.18). And while that may be a “church,” it sounds like it’s no part of the ekklesia.
Funny, I hear Weird Al’s song as a take on the Gospel—everything in it sounds backwards to how people think God and sin and death and Hell should be.
