Recently, a PCA Pastor’s wife (Laurel Johnson) asked me if I could define what I mean when I say WOKE. Keep in mind that Mrs. Johnson tends to have theological views that are vastly different from mine. This wasn’t a question without something lying behind the question.
Below is the definition of WOKE that I sent back to Mrs. Johnson (Sassiterain on Twitter);
WOKE — The act of making sacred, historically allegedly marginalized race, gender and sexual identity groups. Out of this arises a kind of folk theology that teaches that these groups may not be offended as the idea of “offense” is defined by these particular sacralized groups.
The penalty for violating WOKEness is that the one who offends one of these sacralized groups (minorities, feminists, perverts) is excommunicated from society (what we call cancel culture) since the offending party has committed blasphemy.
It’s all very religious…. a “new” faith.
From here Mrs. Johnson, whose husband Pastors a PCA church in Blaine, Washington asked;
