Concluding Footnotes

"Some Enlightened Common Sense Discernment Regarding Revivals" is a satire. I say this just in case some people can't figure that out.

And having written it, I am sure it will make plenty of bloggers pretty angry at me. Satires tend to do that. That's the risk I run. And there was plenty of satire elsewhere in what I wrote above.

However, for the sake that credit gets acknowledged, I will clarify that it is a parody based on this article by Dan Edelen.

Now on a different note, lately I have been feeling disgusted with the whole blogific scene, too much of which is big waste of time and where there is plenty of ego-stroking, self-promotion, and vanity. And there are days when I think the Internet might be near to becoming the worst thing to happen to Xnty since 313 A.D. And I am sure that had the Internet existed in their day, there would have been plenty of bloggers merrily shredding vulnerable and fallible people like a Lonnie Frisbee or a Brant Baker, who though stumbling badly yet answered the call of God on their lives. In a way, it's good Brant and Lonnie left the scene the time they did before the whole Internet monstrosity came into existence, because it would have murdered them in an instant.

In fact, had the Internet existed back in their times, without any doubt I am convinced that it would have annihilated William J. Seymour, Maria Woodworth-Etter, Evan Roberts, Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Robert Semple, Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathyrin Kuhlman, and a host of other people too many to list here.

Now publishing satire runs the risk of offending some people who expect everyone to kowtow to their opinions and who think nothing of vilifying someone like Todd Bentley at the drop of a hat. But it's what I had to say, and if people misunderstand it or don't like it, that's the way it goes. Yes, Todd Bentley might be weird, but there are days for me when the the Internet is even more irksome.
