[Vision2020] Christ Church To Donate $ To City?

[Captain Kirker]

Visionheads:

Douglas Wilson said, “Assuming a victory on appeal, [the Kirk elders] 
decided to pursue donating some comparable amount to what the property tax 
would have been for city services, etc.”

Please note the Dougspeak in this sentence. Wilson did not say that the Kirk 
elders *would* “donate the taxable amount to the city,” he said they would 
*pursue* it. And that little qualifier, “pursue,” guarantees bad faith. It 
means that if the Kirk prevails, then some fortuitous circumstance will 
suddenly obstruct their charitable pursuit and prevent them from giving one 
cent to Moscow.

Take this to the bank: if Wilson wanted to give money to the city, then he 
would have done it already without blowing his horn. Either that, or else 
he’s a hypocrite. Scripture says, “When you do a charitable deed, do not 
sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the 
streets, that they may have glory from men” (Matt 6:2).

And if I’m wrong about this, then I will gladly donate $1000 from the Kirk 
tithe to the illegal gambling joint of my choice.

I am, and shall remain, the Captain at your service.
