In general, anyone including Cultmaster Douglas Wilson, who claims to be the inerrant interpreter of some alleged inerrant word (in this case, the Bible) of some inerrant God qualifies as a fully damaged crackpot.<br><br>That one has debating skills does not mean that one speaks the truth. A day observing in the courtroom would quickly disabuse almost anyone of that notion.<br>
<br>Lucretius called religion an evil superstition. While it is true that religiously motivated people can do wonderful things in helping others and assuaging grief, denigrating others and denying equal rights on racial, ethnic, gender, etc grounds are actions which strongly support Lucretius' view.<br>
<br>I wonder if Cultmaster Wilson evens believes in God. Or is he a con artist using a harsh, logically and empirically indefensible religious dogma to satisfy his craving for attention, power, ego-satisfaction, wealth, and sexual satisfaction?<br>

Gay rights is equal rights. Conservative Christian values is whatever
anyone wants it to be and it is unbinding.<br><br>Good luck with that
debate. I'm guessing the Log Cabin guy's point of reference point will be
equal rights based on Constitutional law versus Doug Wilson's reference point
that everyone (except himself) should follow his misinterpretations of any
arbitrary Bible passages that he points to in order to justify theocratic mob
rule oppression of individuals he deems as sub-human and thus undeserving of
equal protections.<br><br>And I'll go out on a limb and predict that Doug will
