I wish there were more extremists. We need extremists teaching school, making art, holding public office, and owning businesses. We need extremists to just wander around influencing culture. Extremists should run amok in society!

If you disagree, it means you believe the lie that extremism is a bad thing. That’s understandable since the lie is on the lips of almost every influential public personality. You’ve been told that extremists are all illiterate lunatics who stockpile ammunition, hate everyone who disagrees with them, and swear on the Bible that Earth is flat. You’ve also been told that murdering babies before they’re born is a reasonable “health choice.” So you have an extremist view of extremists.

It’s true that SOME extremists are sinister, godless, monsters. Many of them have the title of “journalist” which they believe gives their extremism legitimacy. They hope that if they tell you they’re moderate; you’ll accept their extremist views on climate change, racial injustice, abortion, sexuality, and religion. In other words, some extremists think you’re an idiot.

Idiots believe whatever they’re told. They were told to trust CNN. So they do. They were told Republicans are murderous scoundrels. So they believe it. They were told that being “anti-racist” is NOT actually just more racism. So they believe it. They were told the planet is on fire. And they believe it. They were told to wear masks and get jabbed. So they do. And they are told they themselves ARE NOT extremists. So…they believe it.

You are not an idiot (I hope) so you’re capable of thinking for yourself. Let’s renew our minds, shall we?

An extremist is a person whose views and actions are beyond the norm. There is nothing wrong with living beyond the norm. Most normal people aspire to be more than “normal.” A few people manage to do above average things and thus become extremists. The greatest people in your life are extremists.

The people who kept you alive while you were a baby sacrificed extreme amounts of time, money, and emotional resources while you cried, slept, and pooped yourself, were extremists.

The teachers who taught you the skills you need to live life beyond the norm, were themselves extremists.

The soldiers who disregard their own safety and pick up arms to defend our country, are extremists.

The police who put their lives on the line to protect you from danger WHILE the news portrays them as racist villains, are extremists. Only an extremist would continue to do that work while suffering abuse from BOTH SIDES.

Anyone who does not kick you out of his life when your rage and stupidity more than justifies doing so, is an extremist.

Jesus Christ was a radical extremist. He was so beyond the norm that He claimed to be the Creator of The Universe. He also washed people’s feet, like a slave. He lived his whole life on Earth without making a single mistake and yet he died as a criminal.

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

– Romans 5:6

Jesus was clear that the cost of discipleship was steep. He requires top priority. He comes first before you mother, father, spouse, job, politics, country, and religion. If you’re not willing to adopt that extremist position, Jesus said you have no place in the kingdom of God. Every Christian is an extremist. Anyone who is not an extremist, is not a Christian.

But fear not! When you are an extremist, you are in good company!
