CHAPTER ELEVEN

Brownies And Campfire Girls

In every Western country (1700-1980), when there was any real "turning back" to the word of God—a real movement toward genuine belief and acceptance of the Bible—there immediately appeared the Campfire Girls. The Campfire Girls might well be denominated the "Lady Esthers" and "lna Ray Huttons" of Evangelical Christendom. They lead "all-girl orchestras" and never dirty their pretty little pinkies with the contemporary Bible issue. They are the "Brownies" of outdoor camping—the "rough life." One famous preacher in America has said of them that they "have lace on their underwear." My particular advice for them has been that they should all eat some raw meat.

Now, these sanctified "go-go girls" are usually male, at least as far as physical structure is concerned. Most of them have bass voices, or at least baritone. Many of them are faithful husbands and devoted fathers, and many of them have no genetic problem that would classify them as "gay." However, when we speak of their female characteristics, we are referring to their attitude towards Christian ARMED COMBAT when faced with the enemies of the Bible in their generation.

In every generation where these men appear, they desert the front lines, run like frantic children to the rear areas, and then construct cute little sandboxes and playpens where they "reconstruct" little playlets depicting what they think "the battle" is like.

We refer to them as "The Campfire Girls." We do this to honor the age-old belief that many stories in the Bible were "handed down as myths and legends from one campfire to another." Legend-lovers and myth-makers should never be limited to Liberals. Atheists. Communists, and Neo-evangelicals. The Conservatives and Fundamentalists have troops of them: girl scout troops. "Cowardice is epidemic" (George Patton).

Their forte is avoiding the contemporary ISSUE and creating subsidiary issues and irrelevant issues so the issue that needs to be faced and dealt with and settled is never faced, never dealt with, and, consequently. is never settled. Once these little Brownies have everyone's attention on the sandbox or playpen, they proceed to demonstrate their "courage" and their skill as "soldiers of the cross" by boldly "taking a stand" and defeating the "FORCES of darkness" with their "uncompromising loyalty to the word of God, etc." It is all demonstrated quite nicely with troops that don't exist, a terrain that isn't real, logistics that exist only in the mind, and tactics which settle nothing before or after they are carried out.

To illustrate this we will present a brief outline of the "rules of warfare" laid down by the Campfire Girls as they seek to overthrow the authority of the word of God while professing to be "defending" it.

Rule Number One.

Boldly proclaim that the Bible must be without errors (it must be "the very words of God"): It must be infallible and authoritative. It is different from all other books because it IS (note the present tense) "the word of God and is inspired by God Himself"!

Rule Number Two.

"Here is Scriptural proof that the
