Reading The Babylon Bee is becoming way too much like reality.
Woke Christian Asks Jesus To Return All The Shame He Took Away
Sources are reporting a concerning shortage of shame in the days leading up to a scheduled “lament for racial justice” event at Spirit Justice Awareness in the City Church in Philadelphia. Christians who attend the church are praying for God to return at least some of the shame he took from them at the point of salvation so they can lament appropriately at the upcoming event.
“I have so much to feel shame for,” said Mavrin Frudwrinkles, a local member of the church. “I’m white, I live in a system of white supremacy, I have been guilty of being colorblind, I benefit from privilege, the list goes on,” he lamented while crying a single tear. “Why did I let God take away my guilt and shame when guilt and shame are so necessary to achieve racial utopia and class equity according to my pastor?”
Frudwrinkles then bowed his head and prayed: “Please God, please stop contributing to this invisible system of oppression and give me my shame back so I can start to deal with my internalized racism and white fragility.”

Here is an email blast I received from a local ministry:
“The key to moving forward is what we do with our discomfort.”
—Robin Diangelo
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
I welcome you, discomfort.
I welcome you, anger.
I welcome you, sadness.
Teach me. What do you want to show me?
(Wait. Listen. Linger.)
I let go of my desire for security—and my fatigue in risk-taking.
I let go of my desire for approval—to be seen as “woke,” important, and wise.
I let go of my desire for control—and my check boxes for doing good.
I let go of my desire to rid myself of this discomfort too quickly.
I open myself to the loving presence of God.
I open myself to the Spirit’s correction, grace, and guidance.
I open myself to the diverse human family.
I open myself to becoming a life-long learner.
Amen.

Here is my response:
His response in learning from different resources? Obviously! What happened to lining a book up with scripture? Yes, the satire above is way too close to reality....
This is really sad. I am planning on doing a video on what to do when your church goes woke. I need to remember to include how to respond to ministries as well. I think you handled it well.
So sad. So so sad.

Christian Colleges and seminaries needed to be added to the video as well as they are all part of the church. Unfortunately, they are bowing down to the "woke" mob as well....
