[Vision2020] Blood Drive

[Captain Kirker]

Visionheads:

 

I have attached the Christ Church “Heads of Households” minutes for March 2005. Notice that in the “Pastor’s Report” (bottom), it says, “Doug Wilson reported on the relationship of Christ Church and Trinity with the community. Doug reported that there is a strategy in our approach to the community.”

 

This “blood drive,” announced by Ben Merkle, represents part of the Kirk’s “strategy in their approach to the community.”

 

The biblical term for this “strategy” is “hypocrisy.” The legal phrase for this “strategy” is “subsequent remedial efforts.” And the common-sense meaning of this “strategy” is “transparently disingenuous ‘good works.’”

 

Memo to the Wolfman:

Haven’t you sucked enough blood? Why does everything have to be a “strategy” with you? Must you conceal your malevolence behind acts of mercy, or is it purely voluntary? Now go to your own place.
