Cookie-Eating Christian Warriors
Jan 24th, 2008 by jjp
Today I read a disturbing article (see clip below) about some so-called “Christian Warriors” who took the “brave step” of drawing the face of the prophet Muhammad onto a cookie and then eating it on camera. This should go down well…. What stupidity. Is that what it has come to in America-Babylon these days? Have we become “cookie-eating Christian warriors” as we “earnestly contend for the faith” (Jude 1:3)?
Of course, that’s not what the neo-Evangelical boys of this show (aptly named “Flamethrower”) want to portray, since presumably they want to demonstrate bravado in the face of a politically correct world. But, given that our culture is a homogenizing force that inculcates its children to believe that “every one is special” — and therefore uniformly disenfranchises their true identity as image-of-God bearers – this entirely blase act of “rebellion” indicates more of the same-old, same-old: i.e., utter DISRESPECT for others.
Sheesh — is there ANYTHING more common today than the cynic who delights in pandering to the inane belief that no one is entitled to have real conviction?Today’s jaded culture is stuffed full of prigs who make a pretense of their intellectual abilities — all the while pandering to the nihilistic urge of the greater world (and of Satan himself). It is so trendy and fashionable to play the game of the skeptic, but (as I’ve mentioned before), skepticism is “unlivewithable” and betrays itself as irrationalism in the end.
And indeed this is an age of reeling irrationalism. When people get indignant over those who disagree with their mindless metaphysics (e.g., evolutionary theory) or their humanist worldview (e.g., the political correctness pabulum taught at public schools, the stridulent demand to be the arbiter of when life is considered valuable (e.g., abortion, euthanasia, etc.), or the self-exalting expression of nihilistic sexual ethics (e.g., homosexuality)); or when an entire nation can be deluded into believing that murdering other people for the sake of promoting “democracy” or “freedom” is a good thing, we are witnessing serious derangement on a massive scale.
Read the newspapers today and consider the glitterati of our culture — the political leaders, the TV talking heads, the movie stars, the “pop” musicians and their lyrics, the best-selling authors, the social pundits, etc. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to see beneath the veneer of the language to understand that society is operating from an existential vacuum — a place of inherent bankruptcy and nothingness…
Today’s (faux) intellectuals, for the most part, are romantics who have yet to understand the implications of their heady game of “deconstructing” reality. When it finally catches up to them, it will be too late — and then they will lament their loss and decry their self-deception.
Christians should model love and grace, not inflame the passions of hate and ignorance. The “Flamethrower” kids might be hoping to display some sort of courage, but they are simply enabling the sickness and weaknesses of the greater culture that surrounds us. Yeshua (Jesus) said, “Do unto others…” If you choose to live by the sword, you shall die from it.
If you really want to share the good news of God’s redemption with Muslims (rather than engage in puerile antics that merely repeat the theme of our sick culture), then show some respect and ask for God’s grace, power, and wisdom to guide you, chaverim…

Christian ‘infidels’ to eat ‘Muhammad’
Political TV hosts fed up with PC Islam will devour cookie with face of prophet
A new, cutting-edge, political TV show will challenge Islam with biting humor tomorrow night, placing the face of the prophet Muhammad onto a cookie and then having it eaten on camera.
We’re going to take a stand and say Muhammad’s face is delicious,” said Molotov Mitchell, the 28-year-old incendiary creator and host of “Flamethrower,” a program described as a low-budget, gritty cross between the “The Daily Show,” “The Colbert Report,” and “The View” if Ann Coulter were the producer. “This is religious and culinary history in the making.”
The theme of this week’s episode is “All Things Islam,” as panelists take on the faith of Muslims in a no-holds-barred fashion.
“Islam is not even a religion,” Mitchell told WND from a location somewhere in Eastern North Carolina. “It’s an ideology of ‘might makes right’ disguised as a religion. We’re going to show that Allah was with us when we baked this cookie and ate it. Deal with it!”
