[Vision2020] Wilson's anti-gay campaign

[Rosemary Huskey]

Thank you for mentioning this, Ralph.  This is a Christ Church related
event.  It is sponsored by the 
College Reformed Fellowship (a missionary outreach to college age students /
non students).  Usually these events are populated by NSA students.  The
speaker is noted for a book entitled "Is God Anti-gay?" - which is a book I
wouldn't waste my time readin.

Male homosexuality is an endlessly fascinating topic for Doug Wilson.  A
week rarely goes by that he does address the issues of same sex attraction
and marriage (or "mirage") as he describes it on his blog.  It is curious to
me that he is so drawn to the subject, to the exclusion of the well known
criminal behavior of his flock. I think pedophilia, and domestic violence
toward women and children would rate an occasional mention.  But no, Doug
remains drawn to a never-ending obsession with the behavior of gay men.
I've often wondered if he knew/knows Ted Haggart

Subject: [Vision2020] Wilson's anti-gay campaign

In today's (Feb. 26) Daily News there is a letter inviting us to an event in
the SUB on March 5 to hear a "Christian" speaker.
Here are my online comments.
*******************************************************************

As soon as I read this letter I smelled Doug Wilson all over it. 

But it identifies the sponsors as merely "local Christians" and the speaker
as a "Christian minister." 

But the message is the same old fear and hatred of homosexual people, based
on the ignorance of bronze-age "prophets" who spoke in the name of their
tribal God Yahweh (the LORD). 

The speaker, Sam Allberry, is a friend of Peter Hitchens, the bigoted,
"Christian" brother of the late Christopher Hitchens. Doug Wilson had him as
an anti-gay speaker/chairman in the SUB ballroom last year.

Wilson has lots of tax-free money to rent a 1,000 person ballroom to spread
his prejudices in the name of Christianity. His supporters will come by the
busload.

As in previous events sponsored by Wilson all statements or questions not to
his liking will be side-steppped or rudely ignored.

So be good to yourself and your friends, both gay and straight, and simply
stay away from this painful event.

And if you want to know what Jesus said about homosexuals, don't waste your
time looking in the Gospels: Jesus said not a word about them.
