Letter to the American Church

So you recently wrote a letter to the American Church. I released a podcast a while back or I guess it was just a monologue which was a message to Christians and so obviously to some degree we're thinking along parallel lines. Why did you think it was necessary to write a letter to the American Church?

The thesis of this book, letter to the American Church, is that precisely as the German Church was silent and precisely as that opened the door to hell, to every kind of evil, it is the silence of the church in America now, this minute that is similarly opening the door to hellish things on a number of fronts.

But I just had a sense of humility. There is something I suppose mystical about that intuition that there's a distinction between words that are false and words that are true. It isn't easy exactly to describe how you know the difference.

And so that's again you know you see this all through history but the reason I wrote letter to the American church is because you know it's my thesis that Christians have no excuse in this you claim to believe in the ground of all being you claim to believe in the god of the bible that he you know not just died for you but literally bodily rose from the dead and defeated to death if you believe that what you claim to you will behave differently you will behave fearlessly as martyrs and others have throughout the centuries that's what's required of us and we've been kind of drifting along with everything you know pretty fine we kind of thought like well we don't we don't actually have to give our lives or or maybe lose our jobs or whatever you have a lot of pastors um you know to put this even more pointedly who they're worried about maybe losing their 501c3 tax deductible status by saying something vaguely political from the pulpit and I thought what kind of cowards can you be you're supposed to be speaking truth you're supposed to care about people out there not just in your congregation but out there in the world so that if you were alive in slavery times you would be speaking against this satanic abomination of the slave trade as will before it's did uh and against slavery as people did and when people say oh you're being political just stick to theology you say excuse me what kind of theology do we have what kind of gospel am I preaching if I don't care about people who are suffering horrors if I if I'm silent this is what happened in Canada you know when I burst onto the scene I supposed to speak so to speak in 2016 it was on this trans issue peripherally but for me it was the government was mandating a certain form of speech right the government said well here's the words you have to use and I thought there's no god damn way I'm letting you pikers take control of my tongue because I know what happens when that happens and what happens is everyone ends up in hell and although it's sort of like hell being in Trudeau's Canada it's not as bad as it could get but it'll certainly get there if everybody keeps holds their tongue when they have something to say

So imagine where we are today that you have people I mean they've effectively created a false religion which is particularly horrifying and wicked. It's almost like a you know what we're seeing it now with the with the sheer lunacy of the the pride juggernaut you know that everybody has to be bullied into agreeing with whatever it is and not agree but it's celebrating and worshipping.
