ROBIN OF BERKELEY WRITES ON The Hypocrisy of the Left.
Checking out churches online, I found almost none that offered political neutrality. Most heralded their progressive credentials, welcoming the transgendered, but not conservatives.
I was pleased to find an Episcopal church whose website focused on religion, not ObamaCare. I left a message for the priest that I was looking for a church that didn’t press a political agenda because I wasn’t a liberal.
I received an icy reply from the priest, the Reverend Lucy, who said with barely-contained disgust, “I don’t think you should check us out.”
Her response left me shaken and angry. I understand that leftists despise conservatives. I have seen that creepy look of pure hatred when I naïvely told a leftist friend about my political conversion.But an Episcopal priest rejecting me during the holiest time of year? Isn’t anything or anyone sacred?
In shunning me, the Reverend Lucy exposed not only her own hypocrisy, but the duplicity of the left itself. She unveiled the left’s dirty little secret — that their doctrines are as bogus as global warming.As displayed by the Reverend Lucy, this is a spiritually vacuous ideology. While they fashion themselves as human saviors, they clearly don’t like people very much, and they despise conservatives.
I’ve experienced that “icy stare.” One time it was at Long Beach, when Bob Faus introduced me to a lady with a prominent Middle Pennsylvania Brethren name. When she heard Bob say my name, her eyes instantly transformed into a look of daggers. One of the not-so-best-kept-secrets of liberal church folks is that, for many, their talk of compassion and respect for diversity is just that: talk. They really are some of the most close-minded people I have ever run across.
