I'm a missionary in Japan. The name of my mission agency is WEC International. That's supposedly Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ, but I think I have a better idea about what it stands for...

"Religious Right"
At last, 95 Theses against the right-wing church, ending in:
95. Christians are to be exhorted to speak out against the Religious Right, as it is a vile heretical movement, wholly outside the teachings of the Word of God.
I always wondered how the "religious right" was anything other than a massive experiment in cognitive dissonance - Christians follow this guy called Jesus, who was the most anti-establishment left-wing activist there was. I mean, remember that stuff he said about rich people? Or about self-satified legalistic religious do-gooders? Or loving your enemies, or not casting the first stone, or taking care of widows and orphans?
The religious right can only follow such a Jesus if they ignore pretty much every word that he said. Which, I suppose, is what these theses allege.
