Dear Editor:

Christ Church Cult Master Douglas Wilson whines that his critics are
intolerant.

In my case he is correct.

In general I am intolerant of murderers, dope peddlers, dishonest public
figures, etc.  Further intolerances:

Wilson preaches that women lack wisdom and prudence and are unfit for
leadership.  What loving parent would send their children to cult schools to
have them abusively and hatefully denigrated, perhaps irreversibly damaged
by such an obviously false by observation, poisonous indoctrination?

Wilson argues that the abolitionists who worked to free the slaves were the
real sinners, not the slave owners.  Wilson states that slavery was an
affectionate, mutually satisfying institution.  Besides being toxic fantasy,
is this not covert, insidiously hypocritical racism?

Is Wilson's insatiable need to control others and thus his frothingly
concupiscent opposition to adults choosing whom to love and with whom to
spend their lives a severe case of reaction formation?

Are the arrogantly dishonest denials by Wilson of his written statements
consistent with his alleged Christian views against lying?

Are Wilson's megalomaniacal views really unconscious, desperate cries for
the services of a competent mental health professional?

Like his homologues in the Neo-Nazis and KKK, Wilson's egomaniacal (I'm
always right; everyone else is wrong.), repugnant, reptilian views based on
ignorance deserve this much tolerance:  He has the right to hold and to
argue for his views.

Tolerance ends there.  Beliefs have consequences, sometimes terrible ones.
Hence, all ideas are open to critical examination, especially when human
rights are at issue.

If you share the intolerance with Wilson's assault on human rights and
dignity, then act.  For your and your children's sake, prevent the spread of
fanatical, theocratic, Talibanesque bigotry in your community.

Boycott the businesses which financially support Wilson's hateful doctrines.
Actively speak out and participate with those that dare to oppose he who
must be obeyed.
