After the horrifying attacks in Oslo, there was a rush to judgement on the right (and some in the media) that the attacks were the work of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. Once the attacks were shown to be the work of a Christian conservative terrorist the right was silent for a while. Until they figured out it’s still the fault of liberals and that liberals are just too gloaty about the whole thing. RedState‘s Erick Erickson wrote a post of wingnut self-justification and blame-shifting to be almost a work of poetry.
Secular leftists and Islamists are both of this world. Christians may be traveling through, but we are most definitely not of the world. In fact, Christ commands us to throw off our ties to this world. But the things of this world love this world and hate the things of God. That’s why secular leftism can embrace both activist homosexuals and activist muslims when the latter would, when true to their faith, be happy to kill the former.
All of them can pile on and condemn the Christian because the Christian is just passing through, a stranger in a strange land.
Over the next week, assuming the budget fight in Washington doesn’t over shadow it, you can expect lots more gloating that the guy in Norway described himself as a conservative Christian. Never mind that a conservative Christian would not do what the guy did. The left, however, will not be persuaded otherwise. They are of this world and this world is all that matters until the last day.
I almost picture Erickson floating on air above the earth and looking down on the strange beings called “people.” Notice the interesting juxtaposition of all Muslims are terrorists = liberals there.
