[Vision2020] boycotting & religion

[Christopher Witmer]

Jackie writes:

"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."

Amazing how you can pack so much nonsense into such a short paragraph.

If Doug Wilson had no idea what the separation of church and state is all about, then he would have to be too stupid to be a threat to anyone. Your assertion is nonsensical on its face.

You put the word religion in scare quotes, obviously implying that Doug Wilson's religion is not really a religion at all. More nonsense.

You claim his religion has nothing to do with the objections to him when in fact the objections repeatedly refer to his objectionable religious beliefs (bigoted, homophobic, racist, sexist, theocratic, etc.). So yet another one of your assertions is shown to be nonsense.

As for the laws that he and his followers are allegedly violating, cite up or shut up -- if laws are being broken, you don't need a boycott; you need to drag them into court. That's not happening, however, because the assertion is nonsense.

Where have I heard talk like yours before? Oh yes, now I remember --

"But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting: "These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus." When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil."

It's all there, even down to the boarding house.
