I really believe that the undivine conspiracy of American Idol really backfired…

Ever since Kris Allen won American Idol 2009, everyone appears to be either shocked and/or outraged.

I had thought about all of this ever since Danny Gokey got eliminated because I used to get e-mails wanting me to devote blogposts to the effort to go vote on American Idol for Danny Gokey the “official” Christian Contestant of American Idol. I got similar e-mails previously for Phil Stacey and Diana DeGarmo. I also got them for the christian radio DJ (name slips my mind, she was on the same season as Ashley Massaro formerly of the WWE) who was a contestant on one of the seasons of Survivor.

After reading pjmillers article and also the article at Cerulean Sanctum which showed some interesting perspectives on American Idol 2009, I finally had to come out and comment what I really thought was going down.

Ever since Alison Iraheta (who I felt was the most talented) was eliminated, I had always felt that the contest was going to be the showdown between Danny versus Adam.

Danny, the Christian worship leader with the tragedy story

versus

Adam, the one pictured kissing a man when asked if he was gay, never openly confirmed nor denied…

The Christian religious right versus the gay rights – cultural diversity movement.

It never happened because Danny was eliminated after Alison, and I internally theorized on this

By having Adam versus Kris, it would make it a whole lot easier for Adam to win outright because he was clearly viewed as being the better singer. Plus, with the liberal Obama administration in control and America acting very much like America was when Clinton first got into office, what a way to try to covertly force the liberal homosexual agenda upon a nation that really and truly doesn’t want it. Did we not learn our lesson from Proposition 8 in California this past November?

If it was Adam versus Danny, it would have been too close to call so, let us make it Adam versus Kris to make it a landslide victory for Adam

Instead of that newspaper stating “Dewey Defeats Truman”, we have public opinion stating “Lambert Defeats Allen”….

I really thought that Adam would win by a landslide because of the liberal and pro-gay grass roots campaign would have been bigger than one for Kris and that the Christian support for Kris would dissipate since Danny was gone. But as history tells us, this too was not the case as Kris shocked us all by winning. Why did Kris win?

Was it because he truly was the best singer…..

Was it because he had a strong grass roots organization behind him that was stronger than Adam’s…

Was it because some third wave prophet “cleared the air in the spirit”…

Or was it really because of a wake up call that occurred weeks earlier when Perez Hilton showed his true colors and tried to embarrass Carrie Prejean for Perez to be later outwitted by Donald Trump when Trump told Carrie Prejean that she could keep her Miss California crown and her Miss USA runner-up award?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I really think the Carrie Prejean / Perez Hilton debacle had further implications than we thought to the point of rising up the conservatives, the family values groups, and the Christians to vote for Kris. But I believe that they turned the vote from who was the best singer into a vote of Kris was the more talented by default because he was the “new official Christian” that we had to help win or else God would lose his providence and sovereignty and America would go downhill since God would have departed from America.

The point of the contest was to find the best singer, not the most Christian like performer and wrongly label them as “The last great Christian hope”. The contest is not about using the popular “guilty by association tactic” of:

a vote for Adam is a vote supporting homosexuality and therefore, you the voter are a homosexual if you voted for Adam….

In a way, the religious right feels that God still loves America and still resides here because He evidently “spared us from wrath” since the Christians did their job by voting for Kris. We won “this culture battle”. We won the “Carrie Prejean Culture Battle”. One day, we think we will win the culture war we were never supposed to be fighting in the first place with the help from our God and “The American Patriots Bible”. Do we care enough about Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert as depraved human beings in need of a Savior or do we only care about them as pawns in the fight to restore America to some mythical utopia that some ultra-conservative during the time of utopia was stating that God had already left us in their quest to take us back another thirty years earlier and……

We want Carrie in a “modest” bathing suit. However, the definition of “modest bathing suit” today based on a swimwear style from the 1930s was to some 1930s Christians the definition of whoredom and harlotry. We like the songs of yesterday that Kris sang but when those songs were originally number one hits thirty years ago, those songs were some Christians definition of “sending us to hell”, “potential backmasking subliminal messages”, “pathways to sex in the back seat of the car that would send our souls to hell”, “the subject of some youth revivals about the evils of rock and roll, and “the pathway to the one world government antichrist of that week”.

How can one song that was deemed thirty years ago to “send us to hell” suddenly become “sanitized” and “okay” to listen to today? If it was wrong back then, should it also be wrong today and forevermore?

We got one group of Christians giving us the “Official American Idol candidate”, another group telling us that watching the show will send us to hell because of the word “Idol” and another group that says…

“Who Cares”…

But popularist Christianity cares greatly because American Idol IS American Culture and if we do not get our “official Christian contestant” to be the winner and we eventually worship by buying their Christmas CD, then we will do what it takes to ensure everyone loses by trying to pressure the show off the air via our “information and analysis features” called 501c3 Christianity and our “official Christian boycotts” of products and services that advertised on American Idol. Then we form our own cheezy equivalent on Christian TV and call it ‘Gods own official Christian talent show”.

And by doing this, we reduced ourselves from being disciples to being a niche market block demographic and reducing ourselves from being a church to being another agenda based anger army…

We do not want to be great. We want to be reduced to a marketing segment. We do not want to be powerful, we want to be whiners. We do not want to be leaders and forerunners, we want to be eternal victims through no fault of our own.

And as the American Idol strategy backfired….. Our niche market, whiner, and victim mentality has already backfired… Into a strange fire that has nearly consumed us all….
