Diversity is Evil: Women Should Not Be Lit On Fire (Most of the Time)
It is often said that we should respect other cultures, that diversity is a good thing and the world is one great big Global Community; but this is wrong and will surely bring about the rise of the Antichrist and condemnation by God. People who light the flames under the melting pot and encourage diversity lead the world in a dangerous direction toward the oncoming train that is God's wrath. And I am in no way talking about race, for we -- by we I mean humans, as opposed to trees and animals (I really shouldn't have to point this out, but apparently there are a lot of Pagans that like to read this site, and I would hate for them to get confused)-- are all God's creatures and we are all equal to Him. Jesus, after all, was a black man. People complain about AIDS, about the bird flu and about SARS; but really it is diversity of ideas, of culture that infects us and threatens humanity, for there should be but one idea, one culture -- the idea that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died for our sins, and a culture that spends its days and nights toiling in service to the Lord.
You may doubt that I speak of a great danger when I rail against diversity. "As long as I worship correctly and vote for leaders that go to Church, I am on a straight path to Heaven. And anyway, all cultures have a basic morality -- nobody likes murder, everybody thinks stealing is wrong. Sure, those cultures may not believe in Jesus Christ and will end up burning in Hell, but they really aren't a danger to me or anyone, since we all share this basic morality," you think. Well you would be WRONG! Cultures that don't believe in Jesus Christ are, if not inherently evil, then certainly more easily tempted by and led into sin. And here is a perfect example.
I'm sure there are those among us who will be apologists for a culture that encourages families to burn alive their wives and daughter-in-laws for not giving a big enough dowry. "Who are we to judge?" they'll ask. Or they'll sympathize with the admittedly frustrating prospect of having to support a wife in such a poor country. THEY wouldn't burn THEIR wives alive for the small dowry; but this day and age, well, another mouth to feed is stressful on a family. "What we should really be worried about is poverty," they'll complain. Well they too would be WRONG! Poverty is no more than a symptom -- the symptom of sin and turning away from the Lord.
The Lord God did not put women on Earth to give her husband and his family money; He put them here to serve their husbands, bearing him many children and running the household. And in return, the husband must provide for his wife, putting food on the table and a roof over her head. If both are lucky enough, perhaps he may also be able buy her a few nice things, so she may look especially pretty for him when they go to church. A woman who does not bear her husband any children, who does not have dinner waiting for him when he gets home from a hard days work has failed God. Lighting her on fire, of course, is too severe a punishment -- a stern talking to is probably more appropriate, at least for the first few months of marriage. Of course, if a woman fails her husband in other ways, perhaps cheating on him or abusing him in some fashion, well, then, lighting her on fire may not be a sin in the eyes of God (it is, of course, against the law and may kill her, which would be a sin).
The very fact that I feel it is necessary I explain the institution of marriage just shows how much damage our reverence of diversity has caused us. Allowing homosexuals to marry, people wedding animals -- both have been accepted by liberals, all in the name of diversity, and corrupt the institution of marriage as certainly as heathen practice of demanding dowry from wives corrupts it. That is why it is important we fight diversity and the idea of this Global Community, where everyone gets along and accepts and appreciates each other's cultures. Where there is sin, we should fight, we should protest. In later posts I will address how, exactly, this fight should be waged, and hopefully, together, my fellow Christian soldiers, we can make a better a world.
