Also, withering sarcasm is sometimes the best, kindest, and wisest way to deal with hideous things that clamp like vampires to the Body of Christ. God Himself chortles at the insane schemes of the wicked. I've got to invoke old G K Chesterton:
At any street corner we may meet a man who utters the frantic and blasphemous statement that he may be wrong. Every day one comes across somebody who says that of course his view may not be the right one. Of course his view must be the right one, or it is not his view. We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table. We are in danger of seeing philosophers who doubt the law of gravity as being a mere fancy of their own. Scoffers of old time were too proud to be convinced; but these are too humble to be convinced. The meek do inherit the earth; but the modern sceptics are too meek even to claim their inheritance. It is exactly this intellectual helplessness which is our second problem.....
But the kings in their heavy gold and the proud in their robes of purple will all of their nature sink downwards, for pride cannot rise to levity or levitation. Pride is the downward drag of all things into an easy solemnity. One "settles down" into a sort of selfish seriousness; but one has to rise to a gay self- forgetfulness. A man "falls" into a brown study; he reaches up at a blue sky. Seriousness is not a virtue. It would be a heresy, but a much more sensible heresy, to say that seriousness is a vice. It is really a natural trend or lapse into taking one's self gravely, because it is the easiest thing to do. It is much easier to write a good TIMES leading article than a good joke in PUNCH. For solemnity flows out of men naturally; but laughter is a leap. It is easy to be heavy: hard to be light. Satan fell by the force of gravity.
You latch onto that part of my statement but the crux of my point was that you all appear to disdain your Christian Brothers who hold viewpoints that bear not one ounce of relevancy to the issue of salvation. I’m just saying...maybe we should all spend more time discussing how to reach the lost than belittling those with whom we disagree. Mr. Mitchell clearly wants to be provocative. I can only venture to guess his motives, but the truth of the matter is that he is only serving to cause division among the Saints. He certainly isn’t winning anyone for Christ with this video.
