From Michael Brown at townhall.com:
… Well, as one of those targeted “Christianist” leaders, having written two books calling for a “Jesus revolution” in the society and in the Church, it’s time to let the cat out of the bag. You had better believe we are serious, and you had better believe we are coming your way. And be assured: We are armed to the teeth. (I’m not talking about non-Christian murderers like McVeigh and Breivik; I’m talking about Bible-believing, truly committed, followers of Jesus.) Are you ready to hear the truth about us “Jesus revolutionaries”?
I should tell you first about our weapons. We begin with prayer. That’s right, prayer. We gather to pray in small groups or large groups or simply by ourselves, in the privacy of our homes. We ask God to show us our sins and our faults, to forgive us and change us. And we pray that He will carry out His will in our country and that He will have mercy on our nation. Oh yes, we are dangerous.
But that’s just the beginning. We have a weapon that the apostle Paul called the “sword of the Spirit,” better known as the Bible. We read the Scriptures and love the Scriptures and seek to model our lives according to the lofty ethic of the Scriptures, and if we see you, we might just quote a passage from the Bible to you, like John 3:16. Be on your guard!
And there’s more. We try to infiltrate the inner-cities and tell gang leaders about God’s love and His purpose for their lives. We launch adoption movements to provide homes for unwanted children. We are the first to show up at disaster sites such as Joplin, Missouri after the tornadoes or New Orleans after Katrina. And we are the biggest contributors to organizations like World Vision that feed the hungry around the world. What a scary bunch we are.
As American citizens, we also take our moral and social values into the voting booth, and we do our best to be a public and private influence for the good. In the words of Jesus, we seek to let our light shine. And just as our society has room for gay activists campaigning for same-sex marriage and aggressive atheists fighting to remove all traces of religion from the public square, we believe it has room for us as we stand up for the rights of the unborn, for freedom of religion, and for traditional family values. What an ominous agenda we have.
And one last thing: We are not going away. If you curse us, we will bless you. If you hate us, we will love you. You have been forewarned.
