Meanwhile, on Twitter …
Once you understand the heretical creed of the Death Cult and learn to recognize their ritual cant and other verbal tics, knowing when to apply the Witch Test is easy. The strictures of their code do the rest. As members of an anti-Christian secular religion, death cultists can no more profess faith in Jesus Christ on the record than a devout Hindu can slaughter a sacred cow.
If you’re wondering what Grime Knight’s tweet refers to, here’s the context. Members of a horror review group called Sci-fi & Scary tried to give author Jon DelArroz the dirt shoulder.
Their submission guidelines include this tidbit:
One of Sci-Fi & Scary’s members defended this admittedly biased policy and prefaced her defense by claiming to be Christian. Ring any bells?
This not being my first rodeo, I discerned a duty to examine the scene for witches.
Result: a hodgepodge of squishy therapeutic deism with no mention of the Name of Jesus.
Correction: There were two results:
Now, to get newcomers up to speed, am I necessarily suspect everyone I give the Witch Test to of practicing the Black Arts? No.
Do I think it likely that they’re more or less beholden to a Christ-hating death cult that’s subject to demonic influence. Most certainly.
And lest anyone is tempted to chime in with, “They’re biased against all religions equally, so it’s OK,” please rein in your urge to white knight for people who hate you.
- Anti-Christian prejudice is evil.
- Western horror is derived directly from the Catholic folklore tradition.
- If you think they’d reject a story by a Muslim, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Chad to sell you.
