[Vision2020] Wilson's anti-gay campaign

[Saundra Lund]

Thanks, Ralph & Tom, for sharing this with us.

 

I think Jayson Grieser should sue the Daily News because surely it deleted his NSA affiliation from his signature, right?

 

Or, could it possibly be that the Kirk & its affiliated cash cows are finally recognizing that taking credit for bringing bigots to town is unlikely to engender warm feelings from the community at large?  Shades of David Irving, anyone?

 

As a Christian, I find it offensive that Grieser has the hubris to pretend to be any kind of real Christian with his disguised but contemptible hate-mongering, but then again, I’ve learned that there is no level so low that the Kirk won’t stoop.

 

Perhaps the Kirk should hope that Allberry doesn’t spent too much time with its flock or he might be compelled to shave off some oh, so obvious beards.  OTOH, there are those who opine Allberry is particularly sympathetic to those with beards, which could certainly explain the Kirk’s attraction to him.

 

Mind you, unlike the Kirk, a person’s sexual orientation makes no difference to me, nor does it matter to my God, praise God!

LETTER: To be more winsome


Posted: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 12:00 am

Rebecca Rod recently (Letter to the Editor, Feb. 20) expressed her frustration with some in the Christian community when it comes to homosexuality.

In an attempt to be more winsome on this issue, local Christians have invited to Moscow Sam Allberry, a Christian minister from the United Kingdom who speaks personally and thoughtfully on this issue. He himself knows same-sex attraction and is the author of "Is God Anti-Gay?"

He will be speaking at the University of Idaho Student Union Building Ballroom 7:30 p.m. March 5.

I hope to see you there.

And here is more information concerning Jayson Grieser, its author.

 

What's the problem, Mr. Grieser?  Won't Logos School provide facilities to conduct such an event!

 

How much of a donation ($) is required to gain admission to this "event"?

 

I would be there, but, alas, I'll be too healthy to attend.

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.
