More on the Spiritual Warfare brigade

Just in case you though I was exaggerating when I talked about “spiritual warfare” advocates taking credit for the death of Mother Theresa, read this:

“Our assignment from God was to take down the foundations of The Great Babylon, the harlot over many waters, who supported the false systems of the world. God clearly showed us where we should go for our main prophetic act by revealing a large, brown stone formation, completely surrounded by walls of ice resembling a castle and shaped exactly like an idol of the Queen of Heaven! This seat of the Mother of the Universe was 20,000 feet high, and to get there we had to cross the ice fall, the most dangerous par of the Everest ascent, with no guide but Him and no help from anyone else other than the angels.”

OK, so far it reads like a particularly weird scenario for some RPG, perhaps a twisted version of Mage: The Ascension, or perhaps Call of Cthulhu run from a weirdly fundamentalist perspective. But apparently this was an account of a real “spiritual warfare” mission into the Himalayas.

It then gets a lot darker and more disturbing.

Within two weeks of the expedition, other things happened which I believe are also connected: the huge fire in Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation; an earthquake destroyed the basilica of Assisi, where the Pope had called a meeting of all world religions; a hurricane destroyed the infamous temple ‘Baal-Christ’ in Acapulco, Mexico; Princess Diana died, a representative of the British throne, to which Sir Edmund Hillary dedicated Mount Everest; and Mother Theresa died in India, one of the most famous advocates of Mary as Co-Redeemer.”

This isn’t Christianity. It’s a cross between Voodoo and the Manichean Heresy. And it’s not a fringe cult; they have their tentacles deeply embedded in American politics, and claim huge numbers of followers. Sarah Palin is one of them.
