To clarify, Doug Wilson is a "regular guy" who apparently sometimes
acts like an ass. Is "Cultmaster" his official title?<br>
<br>
I'm not familiar with the official list of registered Intoleristas,
either. Nor am I on whatever private email lists they may have.
Nor am I on whatever private email lists Christ Church members might
have.<br>
<br>
The Intoleristas, whoever may claim that title, seem like decent
human beings. They just have a weakness when it comes to Doug
Wilson and his church, and tend to give him more power over them
than they should. I've said all this before. I'm sure Doug Wilson
is not the only topic discussed by people who have taken on the
mantle of an Intolerista, but he's the cause of their coming
together, and times when they are opposing him directly seem to be
the only times that said Intoleristas tend to proclaim that title
proudly, at least in my experience.<br>

I am not on the list-serve that is maintained by one of its

do know a number of those frequently called Intoleristas.
Concern with Cultmaster Douglas Wilson is by no stretch of the
imagination the only cause which they are concerned with and
comment upon, including commenting upon frequently on this
forum.<br>
<br>
Since you have been on this forum for some time and had ample
time to observe this, and in fact, debate some these issues with
some of them, to plead ignorance of this fact and make the above
statement is pure dishonesty, the same kind of dishonesty that
characterizes Cultmaster Wilson when he finds himself holding an
untenable, indefensible position and reverts to defending his
position with lies.<br>
<br>
It is also dishonest for you to now call Cultmaster Wilson "<span

<p><font>Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the responses. I'll address a few points and
then I'm done.<br>
<br>
In my book on evangelical Christianity, I went to great
pains to distinguish between those theologians whom I
learned to respect and those that I came to disrespect.
My focus was always on persons/leaders and not the tens
of thousands of people in their congregations or
denominations.<br>
<br>
The focus of my criticism has always been on Wilson's
inner circle and not church members or NSA students. I
assume that most of them do not have the vices their
leaders have.<br>
<br>
One clarification: I was not inviting NSA faculty and
students to "debates," but a regional professional
conference where faculty present papers in a respectful
way and where students are also given a chance to
interact and present their views as well. I have no
desire to debate Wilson because I have no respect for
him nor could I trust him.<br>
<br>
You admit that Ron Paul is a "crazy guy," and yet you
will vote for him? Now that's irrational.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the dialogue,<br>
<br>
Nick</font></p>
