[Vision2020] boycotting & religion

[J Ford]

THANK YOU!  Dougie has no idea what the separation between state and religion is all about - HE insists on everything being about him and his "religion" when objections to him and his practices has nothing at all to do with that - it has to do with the fact that he and his followers are violating state, city and in some cases, federal laws and WE get to pick up the pieces when he's done.

The "services" and businesses that Dougie has are but a drop in the bucket - there are plenty of other businesses that offer the same wares and services so boycotting an obviously not-community-minded bunch, to me, is no big deal.  Seems like he's eating just fine without our patronage anyway.

I've been reading some of the Daily News letters to the editor and comments from my letter regarding Francis Foucachon's objection to boycotts "based on religion."  He is horrified by the Christ Church congregant-owned list, and it appears a lot of folks are angry about my publicly stating that I won't patronize businesses owned by Doug Wilson's followers.  They call is "religious bigotry."  It isn't.

I would remind people that I am a Trinitarian, evangelical Christian with a high and conservative view of Scripture, so it certainly, in this case, isn't about Christ Church's religion.  I care absolutely not at all about the religious beliefs, or lack thereof, of those who own businesses in our town.  I care about their behavior, and it is properly called "behavior" to follow and support financially a man who has, in the name of the religion he and I both share, elevated arrogance and evasion, not to mention prejudice, to an art form.  My behavior in response to the behavior of following such a man?  I'll act in a way that ensures that not a dime of my money goes to support him.

It really is that simple.
