[Vision2020] boycotting & religion

[Tom Hansen]

If not un-Pastor Wilson, perhaps it's his southern buddy's Auburn Avenue
"Church" that has run afoul from Christianity . . .

But then, it's really just a matter of time, isn't it?

As the link above so appropriately suggests . . . 

Beware the ides of March . . . March 5th to be precise.

Stay tuned . . .

"I'll just speak for our church, in Christ Church.  If I found out that a
member of our church or a church officer was lying to non-believers in the
community, as a way to get by or protect themself or protect his reputation,
yes, he'd be disciplined."

"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.
