Here’s a bit of inspiration for all you rationalists out there:
Los Angeles activists are holding car caravans on Wednesday evening and New Year’s Eve to block Christian recording artist Sean Feucht from holding outreach events in two LA homeless communities, including the 54-block area of Skid Row.
Stephen “Cue” Jn-Marie — who founded the faith community known as The Row, or “The Church Without Walls,” in Skid Row — and Pete White — founder of the Los Angeles Community Action Network — are among the organizers taking part in the blockade.
In a statement Tuesday (Dec. 29), Jn-Marie and White said that “Feucht is waging biological warfare against a community he deems as defenseless.”
“He will soon find this is not the case if he chooses to continue down this path,” the statement read. [Religion News Service]
I think all of the members of the caravan should carry handcuffs, and threaten to use them, arresting offenders for biological warfare crimes.
And, for fans of surrealism, the handcuffed offenders could be delivered to a local Catholic church. The local bishop could be requested that the prisoners be delivered to the local chapter of the Inquisition, now known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith., for purposes of convicting Feucht, et al, of, naturally, blasphemy[1].
The attempt would be rejected, I’m sure, but it’d make for a great movie featuring authentic footage. And more than a little outrage from the right.
I’m short on sleep, what did you expect from me?
1 Somehow, the words naturally and blasphemy seem deeply incongruous in conjunction with each other.
