"Elijah went before the people
and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God,
follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.'
"But the people said nothing." --(1 Kings 18: 20,21)
"Making moral decisions is always a terribly confusing thing---to someone
without principles." --G.K. Chesterton
"I am incurably convinced that the object of opening the mind, as of opening the
mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." --G.K. Chesterton
"But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know
it and because no lie comes from the truth." --(1John 2: 20,21)

"White"'s a concept we should bury;
It's way too radical and 'clean'!
Pure 'n' Holy's unproductive...
Those two thoughts we find obscene.
And 'Black'?.....
That too is too offensive.
We don't believe there's such a thing!
Evil's just an evil notion...
U.S. of Gray!
Let Freedom Ring!
We must remain quite open-minded,
'Cause Open Minds can save the day!
Let this Liberal Fog surround you...
Pleasant dreams, Sir...
"Vive La Gray!"
We now believe it's always better
To split the difference we advise.
Sir, that Fence is there to Straddle...
Our Chosen Way's to compromise!
"Tolerate!" must be our message.
We must approve whatever, man....
Saying "No!" Just isn't caring...
Accomodate!... The best you can.
We need to be more soft 'n' cuddly,
Yes,... more sensitive and nice.
Ratchet down your expectations,
While redefining words like 'vice'.
* * * *
Daily Bread?...Now serving Milquetoast.
Just have a seat there on the Fence.
A little Jell-O for dessert, Sir?
Or a sweet Marshmallow Blintze?
There, there, my friend,
We'll make it better.....
This Puffy Muffin Plate's for you!
Pick 'n' Choose your favorite flavor.
This Muffin's easier to chew!
Nothing here is hard to swallow...
Yes, "Least Resistance" is the key.
Sliding down so Nice 'n' Easy...
(And our Sticky Buns are free!)
* * * *
We should be accommodating.
We shouldn't judge each other so!
We must eliminate discomfort,
So "Guilt" and "Shame" just have to go!
We're the "Neutral Undecided's"
Our Path is Broad and very Wide!
We're meandering all over.....
But mostly Left and side to side.
We're 'The Middle-of-the Roaders'.
We're pretty sure we know what's best.
This talk of "Sin" is not productive!
My friend, it fails "The Global Test".
We're Broad-Minded Liberal Thinkers,
And, yes, we're on a Noble Quest!
And we think we're On To Something!
And we think our thinking's best.
Still,... we think,... we'll withhold judgment.
(To judge, The Left says, isn't right!)
So now we're left right where we started...
Foggy Grays...No Black or White.
We're "The Nuanced Flippy-Floppers",
The wishy-washy, "Vaguely Sage"
Quite adaptable and plugged-in,
To The Spirit of the Age.
You see, our Vision's very Dreamy,
A Nice Nirvana Reverie...
Strawberry Fields that stretch forever;
Where all can rest most comfortably.
A Pantheistic Panacea!
A Cool Utopia!.......Hooray!
Where we can "Let It Be!"..."Imagine"!
And John/Paul dreaming Marx The Way.
* * * * *
Lord, Elijah warned the people
To choose the True and Narrow Way...
He said, "Don't waver any longer!"
Choose God or Baal....
And don't delay!
The wishy-washy Double-Minded,
Are always tossed upon the seas.
Lord, give Grace and be Our Anchor,
As You place us on our knees.

"Beliefs formed in the post-modern climate of openess and tolerance create a
firewall against genuine and substantive dialogue about spiritual and moral
truth."--Jim Leffel
"I hate double-minded men,
but I love your law.
You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your
word." -(Psalm 119: 113,114)
"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is
like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think
he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in
all he does." -(James 1:8)
