Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people. . . . Here the rape is not being perpetrated by foreign soldiers, but is the result of citizens turning on one another. Douglas Wilson

Repost: Rape-O-Meter
Pastor Douglas Wilson of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and the Presiding Ministers of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches care as much for these rape victims as they do Steven Sitler’s son. Continue reading
Another Child Molester Strikes the Kirk
Email From Christ Church
“On October 7, [redacted], a teen in our congregation, was caught molesting a much younger boy. As far as we currently know, no molestation has occurred in our church context. Our counsel to the parents was to notify the authorities . . . Continue reading
“you get more of what you subsidize, and less of what you penalize”
One of the fundamental laws of life, and therefore of business, is that you get more of what you subsidize, and less of what you penalize. In every social context, certain behaviors are rewarded (in some way), and other behaviors are not rewarded. Once the calculus of blessings and curses, rewards and disincentives, is done, you will have less of what you chastised, and more of what you blessed.

The CREC Presiding Ministers & Prince Gog
“sword & mace”
“‘Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?’ There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies. . .”

“Misogyny is a sin because God hates it, and He will judge those guilty of unrepentant continuance in this sin on the Last Day”
And last, it should be noted (yet again) that all moral claims require a moral foundation. Misogyny is a sin because God hates it, and He will judge those guilty of unrepentant continuance in this sin on the Last Day, along with those guilty of other sins against His Word. But if there is no God, or no judgment, or no fixed moral standards, then everything reduces to a matter of personal preference. And if you are an enraged Hindu, whose personal preference was to have received a larger dowry, Melynda has outlined for us what happens then. True relativistic multi-culturalism will have to swallow an awful lot. Open wide!

The CREC Presiding Ministers & the Pastor Who Does “Not Care”
“I have yet another glorious opportunity to not care” —Douglas Wilson
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse.” —2 Timothy 3:13 Continue reading
“the people pretending to be outraged are liars”
Yes, someone might say. But still. Why you have to use phrases like ‘lumberjack dykes’? It is provocative. Yes, it most certainly is. But the people pretending to be outraged are liars. I put certain things out there as bait, because I know they will take it, and when they take it I have yet another glorious opportunity to not care about their faux-outrage. Look. We just had one of the largest political demonstrations in American history, which consisted of tens of thousands of women in vagina hats. Christians who are concerned about the kind of provocative discourse you can read here — and their anxiety is not faux-anxiety because they have been conditioned too well — need to recognize that they are not living in the world that they think they are living in.

The Desert Island Test
Anything for Attention
“Imagine Lady Gaga washed up on a desert island — how long do you think those outfits would last? Imagine Miley Cyrus washed up on a desert island — think she would be dancing up and down the beach with that foam finger? No. 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.” —Douglas Wilson Continue reading
