I have often portable water filtration system heard and used the word "triumphalism" in a sense similar to this. Using the work of political theorist Slajov Žižek as a template for understanding the ideology of evangelicalism, Fitch says that much can be learned by paying attention to its jouissance .We often let what we are not and what we are against define us. And when we feel ourselves proved "right" over against the "enemy," we feel jouissance , a triumphalistic sense of vindication. We stand with our foot on the enemy's neck. We raise our flag and sing a song of victory. We mock the inadequacy of the enemy's forces. We experience a burst of self-satisfaction that "proves" to us that we are right.
At Internet Monk, we had a little fun at his expense last week, fully anticipating this outcome. Since the failure of his "Judgment Day" prediction, the "I told you so's" have come rolling in from all quarters. A few, to be sure, have expressed concern about the disillusionment of his followers and have reached out to them in various ways, but for the most part his failure has fed the comedians. The world has mocked. Many prominent Christians have called him a false teacher and have shown his prognostications to be off base and foolhardy, a sentiment with which I cannot disagree. His teachings have been thoroughly discredited.
Camping made the same claim of a "spiritual" fulfillment back in 1994 after his prediction that Christ would return that year proved false. This is exactly the my pillow travel pillows tactic used by Charles Taze Russell, founder of Jehovah's Witnesses, in 1888 about an "invisible" Second Coming in 1874. I think Chaplain Mike has hit the right note here. As someone who has passed through the Protestant tradition from "right to left" I too find myself asking, "What provides an adequate basis for distinguishing ourselves from him?" That really is a question I know I need to grapple with in the wake of this story. Thanks for sharing this Mike.As I see it& that's inflatable air sofa how Christians do define themself. I read the George Barna book "Unchristian" and loved it. Having converted from Catholicism to looking into Mormonism to Evangelical Christian the book really resonated with me. My experiences with my family taught me how much Christians are defined by what they don't like, believe, etc& But when I de-coverted I noticed more so how many Christians are known by what they oppose. Or how people lump them together. Harold Camping was on the fringes but many people will associate Camping with evangelicalism because of the Left Behind series, etc..
such craziness gets me fired up. not so much that i feel the need to vent like i used to. wringing hands & being remorseful because of gloating over the intensity of negative press misplaced IMHO. it is this after-the-fact somber considerations a day-late-and-a-prediction short. i have no sympathy for Camping or those he duped. it could be if others in the church could have coordinated a concerted voice in speaking out more small stuff sacks strongly against the apparent stupidity, the collateral damage could have been minimized.2. It is in times like these that I really love being Catholic, the magisterium is there to prevent this kind of nonsense, we can argue about the little things and some of the historical issues. But these are men who devote their lives to making sure that the Dogma the church follows is sound, I know how some feel. But I for one find that a great start place, I have not shut off my mind, and I still study. But if I've gone way south of their teachings then I have to re-examine mine, I simply use them as a marking point for systematic theology.
Meanwhile, Camping⬠"!s non-profit was proceeding as if the all-important date were irrelevant to business as usual. ⬠SWe're going to continue doing what we're doing⬠, one official explained after the failed date. Secretaries remained busy booking appointments for coworkers, and the organization had taken the precaution of filing non-profit extensions up to November 15th. And in the farewell letter he issued beforehand, Camping somewhat paradoxically urged his employees to ⬠Ssteadfastly continue to stand with us to proclaim the Gospel through Family Radio⬠. Hey, he⬠"!s already hedging his bets by talking ⬠Safter⬠. What⬠"!s that all about, anyway?But I am indeed laughing at them. Why? Because Rev. Camping made it clear that the reason the Rapture is coming now is because the world is so immoral that God must end it, like he did with the flood. And a prime cause of that immorality? Homosexuals gaining rights and respect around the world.
These people make a point of saying that they are more moral than you, and certainly more "worthy" than you. They are part of an elite the very few people that God will choose to "save" while the rest of us wicked people writhe around in torturous conditions. What they wish upon us is far more than laughter and humiliation: it is a slow painful death, the "wages of sin" that we so richly deserve. So no, I do NOT have sympathy for someone who delights in the thought of my torture and death while they party it up in heaven, and believe that this is all God's plan. It is, in fact, a very dangerous idea, and one that is rightly mocked and derided.The same people kelty sleeping bags who helped my family when my father was laid off from the mines. The same people who help when someone sinks their life savings into a small business and it fails& family, churches, government etc& People make stupid choices all the time or bad things happen to them all the time there are provisions for that. I am far more sympathetic to them that I am for a group of people who invested their life savings in a concept, that had it been true, would involve them gleefully laughing [img]https://www.filmencounters.com/images/a/kelty sleeping bags-293klw.jpg[/img] at the suffering of myself and my loved ones& |
