About 15 years ago, I had a minor moment of Internet fame when I wrote a lengthy essay series on LiveJournal called “Christians in the Hand of an Angry God.” In it, I argued that right-wing evangelical “Christianity” was literally Satanic by scriptural standards, was literally the cult of anti-Christ that Jesus prophesied in Matthew 25:31-46, that they were literally worshiping a made-up guy with the same name to justify cruelty, just like Jesus predicted they would the week before the crucifixion.
And at least half of the people who read it and praised it called it excellent satire. They saw my point, thought I was onto something, but couldn’t take seriously that I literally meant what I literally said.
