He lies, constantly and unremittingly. . . He holds to a lie, and then speaks his lies. . . . He cannot speak without lying. He listens to lies, he invents lies, he sends his friends out to lie for him, he delights in a lie, he spins lies like a juggler in a good circus, he schedules press conferences in order to have an opportunity to lie.

“Rape” in Douglas Wilson’s Own Words
All the Feminist Screeds in the World
All the Feminist Screeds in the World
In other words, if God will not judge the rapist on the Last Day, then all the feminist screeds in the world should not make a rapist feel bad about what he is doing. A great desire is evident in our culture to ‘absolutize’ the evil of rape, but since the process is an arbitrary one, suspended in midair, there is no reason to take it seriously (Fidelity, pp. 81–82).

Irrefutable
I was abused by a Christian man and shunned by a Christian church. They used their faith to justify the abuse. The church has work to do.

Jude 1:4
“For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:4
“Hello, I am here from the devil. . .”
False teachers do not knock on your door with a brief case full of literature, and say, ‘Hello, I am here from the devil, and I have come to lead you into eternal torments.’ That kind of stuff never makes it into the brochures.

If a man is driving more people away from the Church, than gathering them in, maybe he shouldn’t be a pastor

Internal communiqué
“shock & insult . . . Take that away . . . the whole game collapses”
The whole point is to shock and insult those who don’t know that they are being played. Take that away and the whole game collapses.
