Segregation – Lord Farquaad’s Solution

Sometimes you just have to get rid of those damn fairy-tale creatures

Those of you who have seen the movie “Shrek” should be familiar with Lord Farquaad’s mission to make his “kingdom” the most perfect of all. If you haven’t seen it, rent it from Amazon here.

Please note that the film never tells us where Farquaad got the idea he needed to segregate the fairy-tale creatures from the general population and dump them in that swamp to make his “kingdom” perfect. Good thing you have me, eh? He clearly got it from God through his personal study of Holy Scripture. You see, God is all about the segregation.

Paul worked hard to make sure people understood the importance of segregation when writing to the Corinthians, as follows:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with [fairy-tale creatures]: for what fellowship hath [perfection] with [fairy-tale creatures]? and what communion hath light with darkness? (2 Cor. 6:14, KJV)

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with [fairy-tale creatures]: Yet not altogether with the [fairy-tale creatures] of this world, or with the [witches], or [blind mice], or with [talking donkeys]; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any [creature] that is called a brother be a [possessed toy], or [a cross-dressing wolf], or a [talking pig], or a [gingerbread man], or a [fairy], or a [dwarf]; with such an one no not to eat.

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves [those fairy-tale creatures]. (1 Cor. 5:9-13, KJV)

St. Mark piled on too.

He that [is not a fairy-tale creature] and is baptized shall be saved; but he that [is a fairy-tale creature] shall be damned. (Mark 16:16, KJV)

Finally we learned that after Christ returns in his glory, he will make segregation permanent. It’s very clear that Lord Farquaad was just doing Jesus a favor.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the [normal people] on his right hand, but the [fairy-tale creatures] on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Matthew 25: 31-34, KJV)

Moral: If someone (or something) is different from you, send it to live in a swamp. Then you will be blessed.
