“Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people”

Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people. . . Violent rape is God’s judgment upon a culture, and individual women who are part of that culture are included in the judgment. . . . We see the same judgment at work in disintegrating cultures: ‘Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil’ (Eccl. 8:11). Here the rape is not being perpetrated by foreign soldiers, but is the result of citizens turning on one another. Every culture is a gathering of sinners, and so rape is always a possibility. But when God’s hand of judgment is heavy upon a people, women are in far greater danger of sexual assault than at other times. It is interesting to note that in these, our ‘enlightened’ times, a woman is far more likely to be abused in this way than before all the liberation happened. Douglas Wilson

“Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage”

Check one of the sentences above. And if someone else wants to check the other one, and you challenge him, and he says, ‘Says who?’ a decent respect for those who know how to follow an argument should require that you answer the question. Imagine there’s no heaven. Its easy if you try. It sure is — above the killing fields of Cambodia, above German concentration camps, above the abortion clinics, above the Stalinist famine in Georgia, above the Aztec pyramids covered in human blood, above the bedroom of a nine-year-old girl being molested by her mother’s boy friend — only sky.

On How Not To Conduct an Inquiry

A Corruption of Justice Primer

The CREC ignores a man in its jurisdiction over whom it exercises constitutional authority — Doug Wilson. The CREC ignores its moral and constitutional obligation to prosecute him for his crimes. And the CREC concerns itself with someone outside its jurisdiction — Natalie — asking her how an unrepentant Doug Wilson can make restitution to her, which is not how to conduct an inquiry.

“of course it is rape”

So do I believe that if some girl goes to a frat party with a hardened resolve to drink way too much, with a t-shirt on that says ‘No Means No,’ but after three beers she takes that shirt off because all the boys wanted her to, and then the next thing she knows she wakes up in the morning having been raped . . . do I somehow believe that is not rape? No, of course it is rape. It is the rape of a dope, but it is still a rape. Should the man or men involved be punished? Of course they should, however unlikely it is that they will be in this life. But they will be dealt with at some point. God is not mocked.

No, No, Not This Kind of Creep. That Kind of Creep.

Gore Vidal has come out with a ringing defense of Roman Polanski — he says the 13-year-old recipient of Polanski’s attentions (back in the day) was a hooker. And this makes everything better . . . how exactly? Polanski hired a 13-year-old hooker? And then drugs her? Most men who hire prostitutes just pay them — they don’t have to dope them up also. Polanski must have been quite the charmer.

I was surprised to learn of the appearance of my endorsement of a book on justice co-authored by Pastor Douglas Wilson in a recent blog of his. . . . However, an unintended effect . . . might be the . . . Continue reading →
