This is an actual song made by the Children of God. I'm 99% certain that the guitar solo is even by Jeremy Spencer.

Comic Fern Brady’s poster banned for upsetting Christians
A poster depicting the comedian Fern Brady as the Virgin Mary squirting breast milk into the mouth of a kneeling man dressed in ecclesiastical clothing has been banned over fears it could offend Christians.
The decision by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has been likened by critics to an attempt to reintroduce blasphemy laws in the UK.
The West Lothian-born broadcaster and author is touring her stand-up show I Gave You Milk to Drink at venues in the UK and Iceland.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

what's blasphemous about it?
What makes Christians so special that they can't be offended?
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

They know that belief in their special friend is tenuous, at best, and needs to be constantly reinforced and protected.

Another Catholic "intellectual" speaks. And with his typical sick hysterical mentality, you would think he wants to establish new crusades and serfdom or at least neo-inquisition.
Quote:What Option for Christians in a Pagan America?
The thesis of his book is fascinating. The young Catholic author says America is heading toward paganism. It will have grave consequences.
He has no illusions about what this means. Paganism is not some politically correct Hollywood depictions of primitive peoples or noble savages. It is that state of humanity where there are no restrictions and taboos. All kinds of cruelty and barbarity are allowed. It will turn citizens into slaves. It leads to rituals, persecutions, and Satanism. Indeed, it will create a Hell on earth.
Above all, his examples show how paganism will seek to eradicate Christianity and especially the Catholic Church. It will seek to re-impose the pagan horrors of human sacrifice, idol worship, and superstition.
Indeed, the author reports that those working on AI “openly talk of ‘building god’ or ‘creating god,’ harnessing god-like powers to transcend the limits of mere humanity.”
Modern methods also assist in crushing resistance to the coming neo-paganism. The author claims that the new post-Christian neopagan ethos “will usher in state-sponsored religious persecution on a scale not seen since the Diocletianic Persecution of the early fourth century.”
Thus, Mr. Davidson analyzes one by one all the influences that are pushing America toward paganism—abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism, Satanism, AI, and the pagan state.
He sees abortion and euthanasia as manifestations of human sacrifice. Postmodern witchcraft and Satanism are the equivalent of pagan religious cults. He even documents cases of the appearance of demon-like spirits in today’s nascent AI.
The author is brave. He does not mince words or try to sugarcoat the coming neo-paganism. He has no illusions about what will happen when the shell of the moral teaching of the Catholic Church and what remains of Western Christian civilization fall. It will bring about the destruction of the West, persecution of Christians, and even martyrdom.

The Church took an early lead on infecting society with paganism by retaining their holiday with a thin Christian veneer.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Let's talk about the Medical Medium aka Anthony William Coviello. Is he the American Sai Baba?
When he was 4 years old, Anthony William Coviello woke up one morning to an elderly man’s voice speaking into his right ear, “I am the Spirit of the Most High. There is no spirit above me but God.”
When he saw no one in his room, Anthony ignored the voice, but in the evening he saw a “strange man” standing behind his grandmother at the dinner table with “gray hair and a gray beard wearing a brown robe.” He instructed Anthony to announce that his grandmother had lung cancer. Since then, he has been greeted by the man’s voice every morning from that day forward as he’s provided with paranormal information about the health status and necessary treatment of anyone he encounters.
And now, according to his website, many celebrities have endorsed his healing powers.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: "After years of doctors being unable to diagnose, identify, or pinpoint our child’s gastrointestinal issues, Anthony’s expertise and intuition led us to not only identifying the issue, but more importantly, Anthony’s precise protocols have been the invaluable catalyst in our daughter’s healing, recovery, and her happiness."
Sylvester Stallone: “Celery juice is sweeping the globe. It’s impressive how Anthony has created this movement and restored superior health in countless people around the world.”
Adam Sandler: “Anthony William has been there for my wife at all times to make sure she is as healthy as she could possibly be. I will always thank him and love him for that."
Robert De Niro: “Anthony is a trusted source for our family. His work in the world is a light that has guided many to safety. He means so much to us.”
Hilary Swank: “Anthony doesn’t offer gimmicks or fads to finding ultimate health. His recommended foods and cleansing programs are simple and delicious and THEY WORK! If you’re done living with pain, fatigue, brain fog, intestinal disorders, and a myriad of other nasty ailments, drop everything and read this (and his other) books. He will quickly bring health and hope back into your life.”
Novak Djokovic: “Anthony has turned numerous lives around for the better with the healing powers of celery juice.”
Liv Tyler: “Today, in a world of obsession with prescription medication, it is so refreshing to know that there are alternative options that truly work and can open a new door to health.”
James Van Der Beek: “Anthony’s books are revolutionary yet practical. For anybody frustrated by the current limits of Western medicine, this is definitely worth your time and consideration.”

In true christian fashion he manages to talk around a thing that is very much happening. In that christianity failed over decades on the main planks of a broad neo-pagan moral community it left seekers..mostly within the christian faith, heading out for alternatives. By the 90's there was a demographic boom, overt paganism being the fastest growing religion in the us, and since then it's remained at the top as culture shifts away from the moral order of christianity as it existed and became codified as a counter-revolutionary ideology from and in the form it then existed through the 50's to the 70's. Christianity did attempt in the 80/90s to cash in on this growth market (the aborted stewardship movement comes to mind especially, as they blipped back up at the rnc this year, likely the now grown children from that subculture) but it was poorly positioned compared to the alternatives above-mentioned seekers had already normalized. In a broader view, and understanding that paganism (like all religions) is not just or even most importantly a specific pantheon or holy writ - we could observe that the us is right now a majority christo-pagan society and particularly from a christian traditionalists pov our social aims expressed by our governance are more in line with that nascent worldview than the defunct christian worldview of the past. Cultural infiltration works both ways.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

He's probably Scientology's medical director.
