(Breaking) Matt Walsh Currently Mad About Something

Sources say that the popular blogger Matt Walsh is fuming about some God-awful thing. “The wrong side of the bed,” was how one source close to Walsh described the blogger’s temper. “You’d think he just stepped barefoot on a Lego.”

No Legos have been mentioned on his blog yet, but Mr. Walsh has been dishing out “absolute truths” about a range of other topics, including:

“Only the number of annoying pop-ups on his website could possibly sustain this kind of rage,” said a former fan who would not disclose his identity (this for fear of Mr. Walsh writing a post about him.)

Aside from attacks on the usual targets of conservative criticism (abortion, pornography, gay “marriage”, etc.), Mr. Walsh also devotes a rather lengthy screed against the “blasphemous, perverted, fun-house mirror reflection of Christianity” which insists that “Jesus was a nice man, and that He never would have done anything to upset people.”

I also dislike people who look for the “real Jesus” and find him in 10 verses of the Gospels. So I greatly look forward to the Matt Walsh Blog blasting another writer who claims that Jesus “condemned…denounced…caused trouble…disrupted the established order, (and is) disruptive…sometimes harsh…sometimes impolite…sometimes angry.” 

The writer in question finds his Jesus in Matthew 23:33. “I see a Christ who calls the Scribes and Pharisees snakes and vipers. He labels them murderers and blind guides, and ridicules them publicly. He undermines their authority. He insults them. He castigates them. He’s not very nice to them.” This writer loves the drowning image of Matthew 18 and was ecstatic to read that Jesus healed the withered hand with “anger.” In sum, I can’t wait to read what Matt Walsh has to say about the blasphemous, perverted, fun-house mirror reflection of Christianity put forward by Matt Walsh.

Mr. Walsh’s writing would drastically improve if only he had the humility to heed his own advice. Before he fixes his Christology, he ought to examine his psychology and remember his own recent words: “Sorry, but its your fault if you’re offended all the time.”
