This may be a nominee for the idiot of the century, an award I would have to name after Larry Fafarman instead of Robert O'Brien. You have to see Janet Folger's column at the Worldnutdaily, which takes delusion to a whole new level. It's a hypothetical letter she writes to "The Resistance" from a jail cell a year after Hillary Clinton is elected. No, I'm not making that up. I'll reprint the first part of it below the fold:
I'm writing this letter from prison, where I've been since the beginning of 2010. Since Hillary was elected in '08, Christian persecution in America has gotten even worse than we predicted.When the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" was signed into law, my radio program was yanked off the air along with all the others that dared discuss moral issues on Christian radio. The networks just couldn't bring themselves to air a pro-abortion program or one that advocates the homosexual agenda for the government mandated "balance" because broadcasting lies went against their basic beliefs - I don't blame them.
We knew "Thought Crimes" was in danger of becoming law back when it passed Congress in 2007, but thankfully, President Bush kept his promise to veto it. But, tragically, Hillary signed that most dangerous bill in America - ushering in the criminalization of Christianity. And now, even my book, "The Criminalization of Christianity," has been banned as "hate speech" just as I predicted when I wrote it back in 2005.
When the "Employment Non-Discrimination Act" ("Thought Crimes" for the Workplace) became law, businesses and ministries were targeted by homosexual activists and were forced to close when they wouldn't comply with a law forcing them to hire those opposed to their beliefs on moral issues.
When they canceled my program, banned my book and targeted my ministry, I knew it was only a matter of time before I'd be forced into "prison ministry" against my will. Unfortunately for our nation, that ministry is growing fast. A homeschooling mom was assigned the cell next to me. I try to comfort her, but she cries constantly at the thought of her kids being raised in government foster care.
I'll take hysterically overblown paranoia for $1000, Alex. Now I'm hardly a Hillary Clinton supporter; far from it. But this makes asininity into an art form. Tell you what, Janet, I'll make you a bet. If Hillary Clinton does get elected and you're not thrown in prison for being a Christian, you agree never to write or speak again; if you are thrown in jail, I'll agree to the same. Deal?
Of course you won't make that deal. You know you're completely full of shit and you know that this twisted little fantasy doesn't have a chance in hell of coming true. You're peddling it to your credulous followers, but you damn sure won't put your career where your mouth is. Empty rhetoric, plain and simple.
Comments
What's really frustrating is that the democrats are just as likely as republicans to sputter out pandering God-talk to win over the population. And yet, they're supposedly "criminalizing Christianity." Why? I guess because though democrats are Christian, too, they're less enthusiastic about instituting Christian dogmas into law than the republicans are. So that means they're persecuting Christians.
For the Christian Right, a government that is anything short of Protestant theocracy is by definition "persecuting" them.

Wait, I thought being persecuted for belief in Jesus was a good thing, fulfillment of prophesy and all that. besides, who is it she thinks is in favor of civil liberties in this country? Mike Huckaby?
Oh, and she never does explain why there's a homeschooling mother in the next cell. Those will be diverted to the Strength Through Joy program (administered by Bill, I understand).

Of course I can't help observing that if President Hillary did manage to throw Christians in jail for "thought crimes," she would only be able to pull it off by exercising the powers that President Dubya is busy arrogating to the White House. "As ye sow..."

They've been predicting the Antichrist, the Battle of Armageddon (nukes and all), and the end of the world. Now she's fantasizing that Hillary is even worse than that? These people need serious help with their Hillary hangups, to say the least.

Posted by: Nick | November 21, 2007 11:14 AM
The first thing I noticed about this (okay, I'm weird) was that it's an instance of the liar paradox. The letter constitutes her present prediction of how things will be in 2010; but what it says is not "see, I was right" but instead "Christian persecution in America has gotten even worse than we predicted." So if it's true, it's false. Oh wait, the converse doesn't hold - so it's not the liar, it's just self-refuting. Never mind.

Yep, it is. Sheesh. I just went to amazon and read some of the descriptions and reviews -- not all were positive. Some people even pointed out her conflation of "public" prayer (out in public) with sponsored-by-the -government - and paid-for-by-the-public prayer. And they also mention that she leaves out some of the critical "details" in her persecution stories.

My brother constantly regales us with stories of how he is "persecuted" at work. If you read between the lines, what he's talking about is that they've asked him to curtail his anti-gay, anti-anybody-having-any-fun rants.

What is most upsetting to me about the hypocritical Christianists (as I like to call them) is that for all their bellyaching about "The War on Christmas" and their inability to preach Christian values in public schools, and how they are sooo discriminated against they conveniently forget the levels of persecution they are trying to force on the rest of us.
As a gay American I am sincerely afraid of these people (I'm sure that is exactly what they want). I am afraid for my safety, I am afraid for my Partner's safety, I am just plain afraid.
As these wing-nuts write their hypothetical about being locked up for being Christian, there are judges sitting in US courts advocating just that kind of treatment for ME!

I would say that you (assuming you are the teaching elder) are somewhat culpable. I don't of anyone in my church who would actually believe that Christians would be jailed under a President Hillary.
This persecution complex works both ways. Atheists also complain about systematic institutional persecution. (Oh, but that's different because it's real; a Levitical Theocracy is just 'round the bend! Millions of Christians are working toward it!)

I saw Janet Folger on Nightline advocating the imprisonment of homosexuals. It ties in with her dystopian fantasies. Persecution is often advocated on the belief that "we're not persecutors because we're persecuted." Ms. Folger seems incapable of understanding such notions as "live and let live." She only thinks in terms of getting them before they get me.

She is indeed a sad, deluded individual.
But in the holiday spirit, I think Janet should motor down to Pensacola next month to visit our fave convicted tax dodger Kent Hovind. They can talk about his belief that "Beowulf" is evidence that humans and dinosaurs once co-existed, and pray for Hillary Clinton to be struck by divine lightning.

"Persecution" to some Xian's is not allowing them to impose their superstitions on everyone else."
Bingo!
Exactly right!
The whole imaginary wars on or about Christmas/Christians/Prayer/Religion/Intelligent Design/Abortion/Sex Education/Abstinence/earth goes around the sun/dinosaurs didn't live with the Flintstones/etc has always come down to "if you won't do and believe in what we tell you to, so we're going to forcibly shove our beliefs down your throats". The bible teaches the doctrine that any resistance to Christian beliefs is automatically personal persecution. In Christianities past "ole time religion" phase, they had religious and state powers to burn, torture, or exile all of those with different beliefs from theirs, and those loving Christians did so with great gusto and zeal. Most of those I see currently condoning waterboarding always seem to be those of supposed faith and love in their fellow man. Current and past human history is replete with this and other examples of "Christian love" at the tip of a sword.
P.S., heddle again displays his "head in the sand" attitudes about the real world. How many people have said they wouldn't vote for an Atheist as opposed to a Christian, because Christians sell Atheism as being evil.

Well, I have no idea what good it'll do; but I just wrote her a letter.
From: Reynold Hall
To: Janet Folger
Forgive my bluntness, but as I said: Are you serious? Christians have an unbelievable amount of political power over there. Christians are represented by many groups: Dobson's FoF and AFA, the Council for National Policy, many people in your gov't of professing christian faith, Bush's Faith Based Initiatives, the countless radio and TV programs that cater to your religion, tax-exempt status for churches, etc. etc.
I might add that on those TV and radio shows the "liberals" are blasted regularly, with no resulting persecution from what they say. You people do have Freedom of Speech as I recall. It's only when you start calling groups of people names like "abominations" and spread conspiracy theories about "homosexual agendas" etc, stuff that can and does incite unjustified hatred against groups of people that there may be an issue. Even so, I've yet to hear of any jail time going on even in the cases that have gone against your religion.
Even the ACLU has stood up for christians in cases when their rights have been stepped on. They even represented Rush Limbaugh once, if I'm not mistaken.
You get the idea. In contrast, in Germany when they went after the Jews, the people had been taught to hate Jews for centuries before Hitler came along, stripped them of their rights and put them in the gas chambers. An example of the kind of demonization that they faced can be found in a book called "On the Jews and Their Lies" by Martin Luther.
Anyhow, what makes your letter so unbelievable is that you ignore all the examples of political power that christians have in your country and you act like the minor annoyances you face is real persecution.
In short, there are too many people, too many groups, too many people in power in the States for some group to rise up against them. I'd remind you again of the ACLU's defending christians in several occasions.
There also has not been near enough time for christians to have been villified enough that people in general look down on them. If anything, it's the opposite. Remember George Bush's father saying that atheists shouldn't really be considered citizens of the States since since the nation's motto has "under God" in it? (never mind that God wasn't put in the motto until the 1950's).
In summation, if your letter is satire, it's brilliant; if it's not, hoo boy.
Posted by: Reynold Hall | November 21, 2007 5:36 PM
OK heddle, how is this, in the bibles own words. You might want to read these parts in your spare time. And if you don't understand how judging someone evil just because they have other world views is wrong, I can't help you.
You must kill those who worship another god. Exodus 22:20
Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10
Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16
Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7
Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13
Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20
Any city that doesn't receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11
Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don't believe in him. Jude 5
Don't associate with non-Christians. Don't receive them into your house or even exchange greeting with them. 2 John 1:10
Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Romans 16:17
Paul, knowing that their faith would crumble if subjected to free and critical inquiry, tells his followers to avoid philosophy. Colossians 2:8
Whoever denies "that Jesus is the Christ" is a liar and an anti-Christ. 1 John 2:22
Christians are "of God;" everyone else is wicked. 1 John 5:19
The non-Christian is "a deceiver and an anti-Christ" 2 John 1:7
Anyone who doesn't share Paul's beliefs has "an evil heart." Hebrews 3:12
False Jews are members of "the synagogue of Satan." Revelations 2:9, 3:9
Everyone will have to worship Jesus -- whether they want to or not. Philippians 2:10
A Christian can not be accused of any wrongdoing. Romans 8:33

RAM,
You wrote
So we'll ignore OT passages--not that they could be explained--but to avoid another endless Mosaic Law debate.
Your NT verses:
Mark 6:11. Let's not debate what it actually means in context. Even accepted at face value it does not discuss persecution against Christians at all, it implies God's wrath.
Jude 5. Same thing. Well actually not--it is talking about God killing unbelieving Jews. It does not discuss persecution against Christians.
2 John 1:10. Interpreted in the least favorable light, it means don't invite unbelievers into your house. Again, this has nothing whatsoever to do with your claim of a biblical doctrine of Christian persecution.
Romans 16:17. Ditto.
Col. 2:8: Even granting your incorrect interpretation, it does not teach, as you assert, that mere unbelief constitutes persecution.
Etc., etc. etc.
If you had argued that Christians are elitist intolerant bastards, then at least you might make a plausible attempt to use your verses to back it up. But they do not come close, not even remotely close, to supporting your claim that "The bible teaches the doctrine that any resistance to Christian beliefs is automatically personal persecution."

To give you an idea of where her readers are coming from, read their comments. For example, someone made the observation that 80 to 85% of Americans are Christians, so it would be tough for the 15 to 20% minority to repress them. However, one of the commentators pointed out that even though that percentage claim to be Christians, they aren't "true" "Bible believing Christians. I know it sounds like I took that off the Landover Baptist website, but it wasn't meant as a joke; this person was serious.

I've heard this "rationale" myself - that is, one Christian (or group of them) dismissing the faith of other Christians who may not share their literalist or right-wing take on the Bible.
On a semi-related note, I just got back from seeing "The Mist" which includes a character which I think Janet Folger would have little problem relating to on more than one level.

This is also true of the opposites. I have noticed this to be especially prevalent among gay Christians (not to make an overgeneralization, not all gay Christians take this attitude). There is definitely a fairly sizable segment of liberal Christian community that believes that other, more extreme fundies are not really true Christians.
Posted by: DuWayne | November 22, 2007 12:01 AM
I wouldn't go so far as to claim that theocracy is just around the corner, but it's pretty obvious to me who is holding enough cards in the US government to have their particular theological whims catered to, and it ain't the atheists. The idea that atheists' take on the government's theological agenda is just as misplaced as the persecution complex displayed by the people who run the entire government is pretty ridiculous.
The fact that crackpots like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson are considered political king makers should be enough to disabuse anybody of the notion that the lunatic fringe of Christianity wields no more power than the dreaded atheists and secular humanists.
Posted by: Troublesome Frog | November 22, 2007 12:17 AM
CHV,
So true. And also true among atheists whose, "militant" camp has been known to attack its "appeasement" camp like a ravenous wolf.
TroublesomeFrog
Let's grant that, even though it means taking virtually all Congress at its word, (the very concept makes the mind reel) in the sense that their nearly unanimous claims of faith are genuine and not just political expediency. But even given this perfect storm of Christians in charge of nearly everything, it would be hard to deny that the overall trend in American society has been, for quite some time, towards more secularization, not less. Even the ID movement can be viewed as a sort of last-ditch, doomed-to-fail effort to combat the inexorable increase of secularization, the delusions of grandeur expressed by the Wedge Document notwithstanding. If Pat Robertson were a kingmaker, Pat Robertson would make Pat Robertson president. Instead he is supporting Giuliani. That's hardly what you expect from someone with any real chance of imposing a theocracy.
I think, stating the obvious, that atheists and Christians overreact to relatively minor blips. That allows some to see Hilary as the antichrist (who everyone knows was actually Nero!) and George Bush as John Calvin in Geneva. It allows both sides to see the outcome of, say, some state's vote on gay marriage as having truly apocalyptic significance.

Heddle:
I am not among those who believe the US is cruising towards theocracy. I am also not atheist.
However, it is amusing to try and wring some sense out of bizarre statements of extreme-rightie nutjobs like Janet Folger (which is why I'm glad Ed posts them) whom I fully realize does not represent the majority of American Christians politically.
Posted by: CHV | November 22, 2007 11:21 AM
More precisely, they're true enough to count when arguing that the US is a Christian nation, but not true enough to stop the persecution of true Christians.
That is a very specific level of trueness.
Posted by: MartinM | November 22, 2007 11:48 AM
There's no such thing as a "true Christian." At best, a true Christian could be someone who follows every single rule of the Bible. But has such a man existed in the last several hundred years?
To generalize Heddle's point: lots of people, of all religious beliefs or lack thereof, tend to overreact about things. Can't really argue with that.
