DOUG WILSON IS ALL OF THESE:
1. A SEXUAL PREDATOR
2. AN ADULTERER
3. BI-SEXUAL
That should put his comments into perspective for you, Ralph.

Doug Wilson doesn't seem to want to recognize the difference between
church and state, so he gives us a homily about hypocrisy and sin
instead of recognizing that marriage, as far as the state is concerned,
is not a sacred institution, but a secular legal contract binding on
the two parties concerned. He illogically equates monogamy with
polygamy and, even more illogically, pretends that polygamy is a matter
of how many people can physically fit into a bedroom.
Doug concludes his diatribe by equating marriage laws with building
codes. Anyone who hasn't been indoctrinated with Wilsonian "logic" can
readily observe how totally illogical he is.
