<DIV>Keely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is a double irony here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>The first most obvious and important
irony</FONT></STRONG> is that Cultmaster Douglas Wilson, CEO of
the <STRONG><FONT size=6>Wilson & Family's Christless Cult &<FONT
color=#0000ff> </FONT><FONT color=#00bb88>Cash
Machine</FONT></FONT></STRONG><FONT color=#00bb88 size=6><FONT color=#000000
size=3>,</FONT><STRONG> </STRONG><FONT color=#000000 size=3>preaches many
theo-dicta that are at opposite, warring poles from
the unmistakably clear urgings of the founder and basis of Christianity,
Jesus Christ. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>First is Wilson's strong drive to acquire great personal
wealth, his urging to those in his cult to do the same themselves,
and his urging to cult members to admire others that
acquire great personal wealth. Christ very clearly admonishes
otherwise<STRONG><FONT size=5>*</FONT></STRONG>. [Please see
below.]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, Wilson ignores the clear dicta of Christ that exhorts people to
do good works. In fact, Christ very clearly states (if the words in the
Synoptic Gospels are his) that doing good works is the
necessary key to unlock the door to eternal, blissful
life<STRONG><FONT size=5>**</FONT></STRONG>. [Please see below.]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So it is with great dismay that many Christians are appalled at Wilson's
apodictic, clearly antichrist holdings, and are shocked that he is taken to
be the representative of Christianity. Many feel that even by
claiming to be a Christian, Wilson places himself in the category of world class
liars and hypocrites. Further, many feel that by leading his ovine flock
and others astray on these matters, Wilson is selfishly depriving them
of any possibility of salvation and eternal bliss. Perhaps this is
why Doug Jones gave up his former pastoral post in the cult.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then there are those of us who think that it is highly probable that
Douglas Wilson doesn't really believe the crackpotism he preaches -- that he is
a clever, somewhat charismatic flimflammer who uses the religious
cravings/needs/fears of a contingent universe of those unfortunate,
naive, ovine, "one born every minute" persons as his hook to
snare/gaff power, influence, and money from them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With regard to the clearly antichrist dicta above and with many other
repugnant dicta, Douglas Wilson is in lockstep with the so-called "Reverend"
Fred "God hates fags" Phelps. Both are thoroughgoing
Calvinists. It goes without saying Calvinism is considered by
many to be the philosophy of the Antichrist.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>The second and somewhat humorous irony</STRONG> is that Wilson,
although an egotistical, self-absorbed, exceedingly vain person, is
apparently unaware of how his image comes across in the various internet clips
that have emerged since he has apparently acquired f-list celebrity
status. Despite his personal wealth, and his continued maximal bleeding of
his stressed flock in these recessionary times, Wilson's physical
appearance is not what many would expect in a spokesman of any
kind.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In several clips on the internet the buffoonish Wilson looks like homeless
man wearing an off-the rack-from-Good-Will suit formerly tailored for some
other quite different obese person. In addition, Wilson appears to be
the victim of a free, hasty haircut executed by Bill "bring your own
bowl" the Barber.</DIV>

<P><SUP id=en-KJV-23779 class=versenum>16</SUP>And, behold, one came and said
unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
</P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23780 class=versenum>17</SUP>And he said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt
enter into life, keep the commandments. </P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23781 class=versenum>18</SUP>He saith unto him, Which?
Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt
not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, </P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23782 class=versenum>19</SUP>Honour thy father and thy
mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. </P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23783 class=versenum>20</SUP>The young man saith unto
him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? </P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23784 class=versenum>21</SUP>Jesus said unto him,
<STRONG>If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me</STRONG>.
</P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23785 class=versenum>22</SUP>But when the young man
heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. </P>
<P> <SUP id=en-KJV-23786 class=versenum>23</SUP>Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, Verily I say unto you, <STRONG>That a rich man shall hardly enter
into the kingdom of heaven. </STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG> <SUP id=en-KJV-23787 class=versenum>24</SUP>And again I say

in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly
glory. <SUP id=en-NIV-24038 class=versenum>32</SUP>All the nations will be
gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a
shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. <SUP id=en-NIV-24039
class=versenum>33</SUP>He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his
left. </P>
<P> <SUP id=en-NIV-24040 class=versenum>34</SUP>"Then the King will say to
those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your

<P> <SUP id=en-NIV-24052 class=versenum>46</SUP>"Then they will go away to

Comment</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Wow. <BR><BR>As I've said before, and no doubt will say
again, it is astonishing to me that the evangelical world has decided to
elevate Wilson to the status of spokesman for the faith. His theology is
deficient, his debate skills are lacking, his character and conduct are
grievous, and thousands of people across the country, a few hundred of them in
Moscow, don't seem to care. In a U.S. evangelical community that's full
of dedicated, brilliant, kind, humble, probing, academically sharp scholars,
this is who gets the press?<BR><BR>And no, I don't identify myself as one of
the "dedicated, brilliant . . . " But I am a Christian, and after seven
years of studying Wilson's work and ministries, I can say, with full awareness
of my own lack of formal education and abundant shortcomings, I would not
recommend any part of any ministry, school, publication or movement that in
any way originates from Anselm House to any person -- believer or atheist, man
or woman, young or old. Yeah, I think it's that bad.<BR><BR>So, in a
fallen world, I guess it makes sense that Wilson gets the microphone, but it's
tragic nonetheless. <BR><BR><FONT color=#8064a2><FONT

rel=bookmark>Douglas Wilson is a sleazebag…and the universe
doesn’t care!</A></H3>
<DIV class=ecxentry-title> </DIV>
<DIV class=ecxentry-title>Douglas Wilson recently wrote a piece over at
<EM>The Huffington Post</EM> entitled, <A
href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christopher-hitchens/collision-is-religion-abs_b_326673.html"><STRONG>Atheists
Suck at Being Atheists</STRONG></A>, wherein he chides atheists, and
Christopher Hitchens in particular, for their unwillingness to face up the the
logical conclusions of their atheism. If there is no God, then of course there
is nothing in the physical, material universe except, well, the physical,
material universe. Which means that human beings and everything else are just
a composite of chemicals that act and interact in certain ways at certain
temperatures. But atheists don’t want to face up to this reality. They thunder
on like Old Testament prophets against things like hypocrisy, homophobia,
racism, human suffering and evil, and that slimebag, Douglas Wilson.<BR>Take
the outspoken atheist, P.Z. Myers, for example, over at his blog, <A
href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/10/doug_wilson_is_a_nasty_piece_o.php"><EM>Pharyngula</EM></A>.
Upon finding out who Douglas Wilson is – he being the pastor from Moscow,
Idaho and the foil for Chris Hitchens in the superb film <EM>Collision</EM> –
he puts the screws to him with obvious gusto…<BR><EM>A reader wrote in to
inform me of who Wilson is, and I was appalled. He has a ministry in Idaho
which has ties to the white supremacy movement!…He runs a private school in
Idaho that celebrates Robert E. Lee’s birthday; he wants a “cultural
reformation” in America, and his model, his ideal, is the antebellum
Confederacy… Here’s a <A
href="http://www.class.uidaho.edu/ngier/slavepage.htm">collection</A> of <A
href="http://www.class.uidaho.edu/ngier/Wilson.htm">links</A> that point to
the vileness of this sleazebag…<STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000 size=3>I don’t
understand at all why Hitchens would want to be associated with such a
creature, unless he was specifically seeking out the very worst that American
Christianity brings to the table.</FONT></STRONG> Unfortunately, he’s
contributing to the reputation of a monstrous blight on the Palouse, a racist,
theocratic ideologue whom <A
href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/notonthepalouse/">people of that region
deplore</A>.</EM><BR>Did I mention that Myers is an atheist? But not a
consistent one, for a consistent atheist would know that Wilson is just a
bearded, paunchy sack of complex chemicals bouncing around and thus, Wilson’s
views on race – even if true by Myers’ account – are just a product of the
chemical makeup of his brain. Further, Myers would also know that, given
atheism, there is no such thing as racism or bigotry or “monstrous blight” or
any other supposed “evil,” since everything is just matter in motion, atoms
bumping into each other and godless evolution devouring one species after
another. Myers writes as though he has some basis, some standard, for
condemning Wilson as a pile of human filth. But I’d like to know what this
standard is and where it’s written and why I or anyone else has to follow it.
Seeing as there is no God, why should Myers care? The universe doesn’t, and
when he and Wilson finally die, there will be no God to bring either of them
to account for anything. It’s about time the “new” atheists stop writing moral
checks with Christian capital.<BR></DIV></FONT></DIV><BR>
