Why have you not responded in like or condemned the "prayers to squash them like the bugs they are" that Mike Lawyer and even Patch Blakely has promoted and in fact said? Don't see you reacting to tell them to stop it.....seems short-sighted to me. Well, ok - "blind-sighted". Same dif in this case.

Mr. Schou's solution to the specious, community
wide rift that Mr. Gier imagines Wilson is responsible for is
contained in the second to the last line of the post I was responding to.
It seems unambiguous.
"Starving Wilson's church to death using
all powers short of state coercion."

Accountability
Referring to Gary's response, below, regarding "intolerance"
and Christ Church's opponents, I have a question that I know he would find
pertinent. When has Andreas or anyone else ever called for, worked for,
or publicly hoped for "death for this particular faith community"?
I'd
like an end to this particular faith community's influence on the Palouse,
yes. I'd like to see the whole organization collapse in a heap of
Spirit-led repentance and remorse, yes. And I'd like to see it rise up
again as a true "Christ" Church, working for reconciliation, justice, peace,
truth, equality and the comfort of the afflicted -- absolutely. But harm
to any of its leaders, followers, or their families, many of whom, if they're
women and children, feel they have no choice but to remain at least outwardly
committed to the Kirk? No way. I have never prayed an imprecatory
prayer in my life and I have never physically harmed another person in my
life, except for once in self-defense two or three decades ago. I won't
start now, and I know Andreas and every other "Intolerista" well enough to
know that they wouldn't, either.
So, Gary, what did you
mean? And do you include those in Kootenai County who bravely fought for
the "death" of the Aryan Nations not too long ago in your condemnation of
those who you feel are a "mite intolerant"? Do tell. I'm unpacked,
I've gone through the mail, and I've got all evening to hear your
response. Whatever it is, I wish you and your wife a Happy New
Year.
