Tact Has Died

Tact has died. We crucified it, much like we crucified our King. Unlike the King, it shall  not rise again.

This is good. The time has come for us to stop pretending there even is such a thing. The time has come for us to say our final farewell to this facade of politeness. While it lies decaying in its tomb, there are words that must be said. Words that will make many angry. Words that will even shock some, especially "Christians." Words like "fuck." Words like "satanism." Words like "Pharisee."

Words like "Antichrist."

Tact has died. Legalism has no more faulty armor protecting it from its own lies now except its self-induced arrogant pride. Pride that will lead to its own destruction.

There was a time for tact. There was a time for elegant speeches, logical reasoning, sound argument. "Let your reasonableness be known to man." So we have tried reasoning. The problem is that arrogance leaves no room for errors. Indoctrination ingrains its victims to never sway from the "absolute truths," arrogantly assuming that they have reached the highest level of enlightenment attainable. The creatures stand at the lofty feet of the Creator - the Truth - and audaciously claim to know Him. They set themselves up as demigods and don't even realize the arrogance of their claims.

But that isn't all. It isn't enough to dogmatically shove theology down one another's throats, to unwaveringly turn a blind eye to opposing viewpoints, and to close the mind to any alternatives - otherwise known as free thinking. Rather, anyone who does not do/think the same has committed a wretched, horrible sin. A sin of believing in a differing theology. "We should burn them at the stake right now."

But this is not the kind of sin that can be forgiven. His grace is not sufficient enough to cover the mistake of believing in a different doctrine. Forgiveness is unattainable, and those who have committed this sin are to be scorned, mocked, ridiculed, stoned, and avoided at all costs. Because Jesus avoided all sinners, so should we. Right?

Right, read the Bible.

Tact has died. It must. This kind of arrogance cannot be touched with soft words and reasonable discussion. The legalistic party will start off with the infallible mindset that they cannot be wrong, and of course, they have molested scripture to back up this self-gratifying and prideful opinion.

We cannot just argue. We've tried that. How can you argue with someone who cannot be wrong? We must blow something up. We must take them aback. We must make them catch their righteous breaths sharply, intaking enough air to puff up several blowfish. We must severely piss them off. We must use the fuck-word.

Tact has died. Why not enrage them? I mean, we're already at an advantage. What are they going to do, not let us participate in their man-made, regulated, church positions? Avoid us in Christ? Stone us like Stephen? It's not like they can even use curse words like we can.

It wouldn't be "Christian."

But idol worship is?

Fuck it.
