Lent is a 40-day period of fasting in which Christians are supposed to give up something they love. Joe Biden gave up ice cream but he probably should have given up sniffing hair or destroying America. One woke church in Chicago has decided to give up “whiteness” for lent, which seems like cheating since they obviously hate whitey.
The NY Post reports:
A church in suburban Chicago said it is “fasting from whiteness” during Lent, the 40-day period preceding Easter — by abstaining from performing hymns composed or written by white musicians.
First United Church of Oak Park announced on its website that it “is doing a mix of ‘giving something up’ and ‘taking something on.’
“In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people. Our music will be drawn from the African American spirituals tradition, from South African freedom songs, from Native American traditions, and many, many more,” said the church.
“For Lent, it is our prayer that in our spiritual disciplines we may grow as Christians, united in the body of Christ with people of all ages, nations, races, and origins,” added the church.
Let’s see if I have this straight: This church is going to observe the Christian tradition of Lent with pagan voodoo mumbo jumbo? White guilt is a weird thing.
Somehow this gets worse:
The house of worship also erected a “Fasting from Whiteness” sign on its front lawn, according to Turning Point USA, which reported that the church is using reflections and thoughts called “evotionals” for the “fast.”
The First United Church’s Rev. Lydia Mulkey explained this bizarre Lent “sacrifice”:
“In this fast from whiteness, of course, I cannot change the color of my skin or the way that allows me to move through the world but I can change what I listen to, whose voice I prioritize,” said Mulkey.
Isn’t it a bit sacrilegious for this leftist nut to challenge God for cursing her with white skin?
“And so that is kind of the place for our worship services, through Lent, that we would fast for a time from prioritizing white voices,” Mulkey added.
Again, it is pure bullshit to give up something you hate for Lent as these white-hating whites are doing. It’d be like me saying I’m going to give up Rosie O’Donnell porn or socialism. It’s not a sacrifice to give up something you have no problem giving up.
If this were a true sacrifice, a serious fast, The United Church would give up virtue signaling for 40 days. Or maybe take Lent off from being full of shit.
The thing is, Christianity and wokeness are completely incompatible. I don’t know why these weirdoes cling to a religion that goes against everything they believe in. Why not start a new religion in which sodomy, baby killing, racial hatred are the prevailing dogma? If it wasn’t for the gay stuff, they could find a home in Islam.
