What Doug Wilson calls people

But now, when we are dealing with high defiance and rebellion, when the cultural center is being dominated by poofter queens, the case is different. We have to testify faithfully to a rebellious generation, and we have to testify that they are in defiance of the weightier matters of the law.

In the scriptural categories, Hitler was a beast, but to find our modern antichrists we have to look for liberal Methodist bishops and the lesbians who love them.

And the laws of matrimony are not currently being upheld by our rulers, and merely extended to people who happen to be a little more creative with their sex organs. No, the goal is the abolition of marriage.

This is not just a rejection of sodomy, but also a contemptuous rejection of it. The price of a sodomite is described as the price of a dog. This is the probable reason for the apostle John’s exclusion of “dogs” from the New Jerusalem, which is to be understood as the Christian Church

But this also means that we, not being God ourselves, cannot point to the mutability of all things (“the grass withers, does it not?”) and turn that into an argument for sex-change operations. “Everything changes, man!” The reason we cannot do this is because the Word of God has defined the image of God in mankind as “male and female” (Gen. 1:27). He fixed it that way. The pomosexuals want the created order to be infinitely malleable

We are to be among the best citizens a magistrate ever had—we should be diligent and hard-working, dutiful and responsible, so that we might put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. We should bake the best cakes in Colorado, but not for the homo-fest, sorry.

In their eyes, the condemnations of homosexual perversion in Leviticus and Romans made Christian schools a theocratic threat to the Republic, while at the very same time the Islamists back in their home territories were throwing homosexuals off tall buildings.

But then there are the gaytards. These are the people — homosexual, straight, and whatever Justin Bieber is — who are the ideal receptacle for the cultural propaganda served up by our duly appointed thought managers. They believe in “gay rights” for the same reason that they believe in climate change. The cool kids have decreed what is “in,” and the wannabe cool kids will enforce it on the unconvinced with a ferocity that can scarcely be credited. They do this in the hope that the cool kids will notice them, and promote them to better things. These people amuse themselves by taunting people ten times shrewder than they are as “low information voters.”

And so I will do my best and will say that if circumlocutions are required of me, at the end of the day, when all things are considered, in the course of any proffered argument that I might want to advance concerning certain persons who are individual practitioners of that class of actions historically understood as faggotré […] “That’s it, bub.” I find myself in court, looking at a $250 fine, and ten counseling sessions. “How do you plead?” “Your honor, I will be the first to admit that my French is not the best...” “How do you plead?” “Not guilty, your honor.” “And yet you acknowledge that you used the word... the word spelled f-a-g-g-o-t-r-é?” “Yes, your honor. I did use that word...” “How was that not a violation of the ban on the eff-word? The Constitutional Amendment concerning this passed a entire year ago.” “Your honor, I didn’t know that was the word. I thought the eff-word law was referring to fudgepacker.” […] So would I ever taunt a slave of a particular sexual sin with a word like faggot? Of course not. But when these Pharisees of Phootball are falling all over themselves to ban the ph-word — and all driven by an insolent spiritual pride that represents our current apostate elites very well — I am more than willing to have some phun over their phailures of imagination when it comes to fallic placement.

Sodomites parade in the streets, claiming that if we do not appropriate more money to study why people with foul sexual habits get sick, we are somehow violating their civil rights.

[Spencer Macnaughton: “Right, that’s pedophilia though, which is of course different than homosexuality.”] Well, it’s a species of homosexual behavior. So let’s say it’s a Roman Catholic priest and a 15-year-old boy... [SM: “So you see pedophilia as an element of homosexuality, is that right?”] Yeah, if we’re talking about the alphabet people. Right? ... LGBTQ+. What’s under the plus? [SM: “Not pedophilia. Would you consider adding a ‘P’? Do you think a P is meant into that umbrella of LGBTQ?”] Absolutely. [SM: “You do? Because you conflate lesbians and gay people with, like, kind of akin to pedophiles. People who rape children?”] I don’t think that I’m making that association. I think the LGBTQ+ acronym, that whole chain, is sort of a sexual alliance of people who are defying traditional biblical norms. And pedophilia is one of those things that defies those norms. [SM: “Do you see two men having sex as equally sinful as a man raping a girl?”] Yeah, they’re both violations of God’s law.

And we also have to tell them that there is a pro forma way of coming to the sacrament that just accelerates the hell-bound. As I write that last sentence, I am most eager not to have it taken as encouragement to morbid introspection by the uberpious. I am talking about the guys getting lap dances, the angry husbands, the men with silk undies getting hormone shots, and so on. Paul says that the works of the flesh (which result in not inheriting the kingdom) are manifest.

So for example, when you send Bruno into [the?] shower with the junior high girls and you force that on them and you arrest parents who protest at the school board meeting, I would call that totalitarian… So when someone says, oh, you’re imposing on the woman who wants to be a fighter pilot, who wants to be a submariner, you’re imposing on her? I say, yes, but what you’re doing is imposing on other people. You’re imposing your worldview on other people… There’s no way that antithetical worldviews can exist without one imposing on the other.

And the transsexual movement, I think, is a movement away from that glory... So when I see people who are tatted up and pierced, dog collar, it’s hard for me to not see self-loathing.

That doesn’t mean that all transsexuals are violent, but a disproportionate number of the violent episodes are coming from transsexual individuals.

We are talking about the ache of fatherlessness, meeting up with a generation that was drugged instead of educated, meeting up with white guilt and envy, meeting up with black shame and envy, meeting up with suffocating paternalism from the state, meeting up with overweening incompetence from the state, and all conspiring to fill the room with fumes, there to await the death of George Floyd.

Advocacy history in its “Afrocentrist” guise says that blacks taught Socrates everything he knew, blacks built the pyramids, and so forth. Intelligent blacks are embarrassed by the whole farce. “Kwandi Kweebe invented the light bulb? Oh, great. Now I feel empowered.”

The reason we were slandered in the way we were was simply because we refused to say that racism was a sin against the State or against humanity. All sin, if it is indeed sin, is sin against God. […] Both Northerners and Southerners were misled by the obvious inferiority of black culture at that time, which had nothing to do with whether blacks bore the image of God in man, and everything to do with whether the gospel had yet had an opportunity to do its work within black culture.

Picture a kid in the seventh grade looking down on those woefully benighted fifth-graders. His knowledge is vaster, his sophistication sleeker, his skateboard wider, his pride complete. Now think of Europeans and Africans. [...] All men exhibit the image of God equally, but all cultures are not equal. As we look at all the tribes of men, we see some that have landed a man on the moon, and some that have not yet worked out the concept of the wheel. We have some with one whole row in the supermarket dedicated to shampoo, while in another tribe hair is washed in cow urine. We have orchestras playing The Brandenburg Concertos compared to someone beating on a hollow log with a couple of sticks.

And as for those first slaves: their descendants, while still sometimes held down by their own sins and residual paganism, not to mention the sins of others against them, have been blessed by being part of this culture. This is why a secular approach to racial reconciliation will always be doomed. Throughout our history, God has brought many blessings to the blacks as well, at the center of which was access to the gospel. The tragedy of pagan Africa was more significant than the tragedy of Southern slavery.

When someone says that it is injustice for a white man to make more money than a black man, that is simply the voice of egalitarian envy [...] The way they talk about white privilege is envious and sinful.

If Hassan dies whimpering, it will be about 5 minutes before we are flooded with memes, some of them very funny, which exhibit exactly the problem I think somebody should be anticipating.

As one insightful soul on Twitter put it, ‘Europe will be destroyed by women who project onto those animals the motherhood that belonged to the children they aborted.’ But as Michael Knowles pointed out, there is a problem with the popular takeaway that Muslim immigrants are rioting and causing all this mayhem. The reality is a bit more complicated than that. This is not to exonerate the Muslims over their involvement because they certainly joined in on what they considered to be the festivities... lighting off these periodic conflagrations is a lot more dangerous than the French way used to be because of all the Muslim fumes in the room now.

Better to live in the corner of an attic than to be around a contentious woman (21:9; 25:24). Better to be out in the desert than to be around a quarrelsome woman (21:19). To be in a house that leaks during a downpour is about the same (27:15). In short, the Bible teaches that mouthy women are a pain in the neck.

A man who ditches the actual wife of his youth is thereby revealing that he abandoned another woman (Wisdom) some time before. Before he leaves his wife for some young twinkie with enhanced mammaries, he has to have already left wisdom for folly.

So let me explain. Suppose you are sitting at your computer, and some blonde bikini-clad welterweight pops up on the screen.

Let us say another pop-up twinkie appears on your computer, this time with a green bikini, and even less of it than the girl with the red one had. If you yell, and cry out, “Ackk! my eyes, my eyes!” then you are in far greater danger than if you say, “Well, huh. We are a mammalian species it seems. Go put some clothes on now, dearie. There’s a good girl.”

The hard part, the part requiring sexual discipline, is learning how to respect a woman as a genuine lady, a class act, and yet, after thirty years, to want to lay her down even more than he did the first time. That is hard to do, and it cannot be accomplished if the woman keeps dressing up like a sexual clown.

The modern feminist whines that we should all come to respect her distinctives after her decades-long attempts to obliterate them, her repeated attempts to compete with men on their own terms, as well as her losing badly in many such attempts.

While it is true that the feminist movement is represented by female spokesperson, they are really nothing more than shills fronting for a male lie. At the foundation, feminism is the handiwork of two kinds of men —destructive, overbearing men on the one hand and wimps on the other.

The wife cannot be as exciting as some of these performing cows of Bashan, and the husband does not have the sexual stamina or prowess that such materials imply he should have.

What we have been seeing in our American streets over the last few years is an intersectional mash-up. It has been the meeting place where stupidity, envy, hatred, ignorance, and folly have all met up to do a little showing off. They all wanted to do a little flexing for the orc-girls. […] We are talking about the ache of fatherlessness, meeting up with a generation that was drugged instead of educated, meeting up with white guilt and envy, meeting up with black shame and envy, meeting up with suffocating paternalism from the state, meeting up with overweening incompetence from the state, and all conspiring to fill the room with fumes, there to await the death of George Floyd.

And I said basically in a piece, I said, "Look, this is not my language. This is not how I talk, but these two women have reduced women to that, right? They've reduced women to that. So, all they are saying is that they are a couple of C-words." Yeah. Okay? And I said, "This is not me saying this. This is what I'm translating for you. I'm telling you what they are claiming. They're radically reductionist, right? And so then So, I used that word just consciously, decidedly, because I was opposing something that was horrific."... What I've seen is that people will gather—they'll go through all my writing, I write a lot—and they will gather up the few instances where I've used a jalapeno. They gather them all up and put them on one cracker and then make a meme out of it and say, "Look at this bad person." Well, I'm not going to apologize for any of that.

And if anyone reads these words and believes that I am attacking all women by them, that would provide great example of why we should not entrust our cultural future to people who can’t read.

[Leila Fadel: “When they’ve walked away from the protections of fathers and brothers, what it amounts to is a tacit, implicit in principle, not overt acceptance of the propriety of rape. This is from a 2016 blog.”] Yeah, correct. I’m not saying anything about the propriety of rape. What I’m saying is the women who do these things, they’re the ones saying that. So, if you refuse the protection of good men, then I’m saying you’re the one asking for it. I’m pleading with you to stop asking for it... Let’s say someone parks his car in a bad part of town, leaves his wallet on the dashboard with $20 bills sticking out of it... What I’m saying is that the idiot who left his wallet on the dashboard, he was arguing for the propriety of theft.

Women inescapably need godly masculine protection against ungodly masculine harassment; women who refuse protection from their fathers and husbands must seek it from the police. But women who genuinely insist on 'no masculine protection’ are really women who tacitly agree on the propriety of rape […] Men are designed by God to initiate and lead, and women are designed to respond.

When a woman is loved and secured by her father, and then by her husband, the result is that she flourishes in loveliness. Love bestows loveliness. When that is lacking for whatever reason, she might fight to hide the deficit by means of bangles that shine, or she might start adding blemishes of her own because she feels blemished. [Nancy] Mace has said that she got the tattoos during a time of personal turmoil. She’s been married twice before, and when she broke up with her third fiancé, she turned to the ink... A woman could do this because she believes it is an adornment. Well, I would continue to believe that it was an adornment fail.

Consequently, in such a school the students who get faculty commendations frequently are the girls and the boys who behave like girls. […] The self-respecting boys include many who are not at all discipline problems, but who are not about to do what it takes to receive the approbation of the school. That would require becoming a wuss.

In the same way, we tend to think that a man who yells and blusters and intimidates has an excess of strength. We think he has a surplus. But biblically understood, he is actually a covenant wimp.

And of course, at the end of the day, when the lights are turned down low, he should head off to bed like a simple-minded juggins, acting the part of a grinning prospector who is expecting to find a sexual El Dorado any minute now.

Why on earth would we want to climb back into that snake pit? Nothing can come of it but the kind of suffering especially adapted to the sexual meathead

When men are in the grip of prolonged lust they are soon dissatisfied with normal sexual pleasure and begin looking around for other things which will expand their sexual horizons. This is the source of all perversions and fetishes. The whole world becomes a sexual partner, and like a mongrel dog on some hapless postman’s leg, they begin humping everything in sight

But the thoughtless man is not making love to a wife; he is masturbating in someone else’s presence. One writer spoke memorably of the fact that some men make love to a woman the way an orangutan might play the violin. This kind of sexual bonehead is quickly frustrated with his “frigid” wife and is off looking for females more to his liking.

In the grip of self-deception, a man might spend a lot of time stocking his storehouse and yet believe that what he is doing “does not affect him.” In this he is grossly self-deceived and well on his way to becoming a mouth-breather.

It is also different from the individual who is celibate from necessity—unmarried, not because of dedication to Christ, but unmarried because a lack of self-control in his life has managed to create a loser that no self-respecting woman would want to marry.

Picture a long line of draining and exhausting demands, and there, standing last in line around 10:30 that night, is her fathead of a husband with bedroom eyes. Then , when the sex is not to his liking, he blames her.

Our men have become spiritual eunuchs. At the head and heart of each family is a man. […] Modern Christian men can be divided into two categories—those who have acquiesced to the current dictates requiring this effeminacy and those who think they have not capitulated because they are still allowed to beat their chests at home.

Effeminacy is the pursuit of blame in the spirit of self-loathing. Because we live in effeminate times, the capons and cockqueans have insisted that our default metric must be to always and everywhere blame the male. For extra intersectionality points, we have seen this expanded to always and everywhere blame the white hetero male.

This is a common problem with the Promise Keeper approach to the inculcation of masculinity. Men gather together in small groups in order to learn how to relate to one another on a more intimate level. In other words, they gather together to learn to relate to one another as women relate to each other. “Real” masculinity is described as being sensitive, open, responsive, intimate, caring, and the rest of it. (About the only thing that is missing is breast implants.)

In the meantime, we do not need for the bishop to process up the central aisle like the shiniest and baddest black crow in the gutter.

We do not need any more cardboard cutout celebrity pastors, grinning at us, as smug as all dammit.

But all the things we have made out of pine needles will go up in a sheet of flame—our celebrity conferences, our hair product youth pastors, our liturgical mummeries, our doctrinal gnat-strangling, and our arguments on the road

The activists want Him to be King, and the end result of their labors is a bunch of social justice hooey.

After a time, others—by which I mean radical charismatics and crazed anabaptists—start setting their fires on the coffee table or the love seat. But at least they knew the room was cold and something should be done about it.

There are any number of ministers in our gathering of churches who do not have the same warm spot in their heart that I do for the two sober clowns remaining in the modern circus of evangelicalism, and that is perfectly okay.

But I am an evangelical, and I believe that historic evangelicalism (as distinguished from what has become a pink-bubblegum form of evangelicalism) has contributed something important to the general inheritance of the catholic church.

When a certain doctrinal controversy broke out a few years ago, it was necessary to take the fire hose of grace to the doctrinal gnat-stranglers. But we have to always remember that—in Scripture —the fire hose of grace sprays in a 360-degree radius, and not just 180, where those other guys are standing.

For now it should suffice to say that modern evangelicalism (not historic evangelicalism) is represented by what one president called the axis of treacle

In stark contrast with this, a modern pretty boy preacher […] gets up front and can talk about himself the entire time he is there. He is open, transparent, honest, and emotionally approachable.

a pastor shows his prowess in humility by asking people to call him Joe. Behind the scenes he is a fierce, hard-driving CEO […] He is about as deep as a wet spot on the pavement.

throw away the vast machinery of parachurch organizations, […] magazines edited by snakes, our engineered revivalism, our holy hucksterism

Whenever the Christian faith is accepted and established in a nation, and a large number of people are members of various churches, one of the first and deadliest temptations is the lust for respectability […] Soon the pulpits of the land are filled with a bunch of contented moo cows, and everything settles down into what theologians call bovine ecclesiology.

But what happens if someone does imitate Jeremiah's patient suffering of affliction while going through some gnat-strangling church trial in an historic Reformed denomination? […] All of a sudden everything comes unhinged, and long-faced litigious types start to tut tut through their sinuses.

Whenever a promising movement of the Holy Spirit begins nowadays, one of the first things that happens is that the agents, businessmen, and other assorted handlers move in […] to quench the gospelmongers.

No, it is being done so that pretend conservatives and pretend Christians will agree to act as though they were the stupid and blind ones. And many of them do it.

When I say this sort of thing—that the North had drifted into theologically liberal goo-thought and the South was orthodox and Christian—I know I am painting with a broad brush.

Those who learn to do it well may develop another problem—they may become effeminate. And if they excel, then they become a pencil neck like the Rev. Mr. Kinosling in the Penrod stories.

But the recent rejection of such hymns in favor of contemporary worship music has been a step further away from a biblical masculinity. The current emphasis on “feeling worshipful” is frankly masturbatory, which in men produces a cowardly and effeminate result.

Secondly, maturity matters. The conservative Christian world is generally consistent in creating “marriage nerds.”

But because of an immature “all or nothing” mentality in the evangelical world, as soon as anything is pronounced not inherently sinful, everybody rushes off to splash about in their Christian liberty, about which more later. And this is why the evangelical world today is crowded out to the borders with the culturally retarded.

The only thing they don’t know is what it all means. Modern evangelicals are like a drunk Japanese businessman in a karaoke bar singing along with the Stones. In his own boozy way, he knows everything about the song except what it is about.

It is true that pulpits across our country are filled with a swamp and morass of anecdotes, sentimentalist yawp, yippy-skippy worship, and make-it-up-as-you-go-along theology; but the heads of Christian homes have been willing to have it so.

Now there are two basic ways to mess this up. One is to deny the antithesis, which is the route of saccharine do-gooders, weepy universalists, chagrined hand-wringers, and other exegetical bed-wetters. The indivisibility of the human race (their godhead) is assumed, declared, preached, and exalted. […] Since this sets up a clear absurdity that their secular apologists cannot solve, these angular and uncooperative Christians have to be quickly shouted down and then frogmarched off for their (tax-supported) Inclusivity Training Camp. This accounts for why the tolerant and inclusive can become so savage so quickly.

Neither are they to catch the latest feel-good wave of revival excitement which is filling up our nation’s stadiums with deep-throated panty-waists. About the only thing missing from the evangelical masculine renewal movement today would be the breast implants.

If you remove the love of Jesus Christ from any of these three doctrinal emphases, you get terrible results, really bad stuff, you know, zombie doctrine. When Calvinism goes to seed, you get Unitarian woke scolds.

Let us go back to the illustration of the various confessional churches that don't require any confession. Churches like that have AIDS. They have an immune deficiency problem.

I also love Pinot Noir, Mozart, Creedence Clearwater Revival, oatmeal stout, brown cow ice cream, mowing a field, playing softball, listening to blues, reading with my wife, playing the guitar, P.G.Wodehouse, clouds on the moutain, anapestic poetry, and making fun of uncircumcised Philistines.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and pecksniffs. Lewis worried about “meddlesome” rulers—you know, the kind who would make you sort your garbage into different-colored bins.

But what I do think is funny is when I am asked these questions by anyone who has ever been any part of the woke brigade.

The subtext of the Constitution is that we are constantly to beware of Boobus americanus and the inveigling mountebanks they elect. We are particularly to watch their beady little eyes (Art. I, Sec. 2), their greasy palms (Art. III, Sec. 1), their sweaty foreheads (Art. II, Sec. 4), and their glowing promises filled with Uplift and Sunshine (Art. IV, Sec. 4).

I do this because all the animus that western civ draws from the ignorati is because it reminds them of the kingdom of Heaven.

Our particular controversy arose because the local newspaper erroneously reported that we were holding a conference on the subject of slavery, and it was not long before many of the local leftists were screeching like so many progressive tea kettles.

The problem is that it is the kind of phrase that semi-literate journalists think they understand. And half-educated history professors react to it by maintaining that I have no right to an opinion on paleo-anything—for I am not a trained professional historian, with a doctorate on “the ingestion of cough syrups in west London, 1815–1830, a study in contrasts.”

My high school had an SDS chapter (Students for a Democratic Society, a group of crazies from the sixties), and one day I was surprised, coming out of my homeroom class, to see a line of cops run by with their billy clubs at the ready.

Why do we call them progressives? What are they progressing to? Why do we call them liberals? They aren’t very liberal at all. In our recent conflicts with them, we have simply taken to calling them intoleristas, which seems to fit far better.

We were interested in developing a full-orbed biblical response to the secularist jihad against the Christian faith, and we were not interested in resisting the onslaught by simply retreating to an earlier form of approved compromise.

Dabney was nothing if not insightful, and when someone as clear-headed and logical as he was finds himself surrounded by a victorious wickedness, a vicious insolence, and a confederacy of dunces—in short, the Intoleristas of his day—an ever-present temptation is that of becoming hard and bitter.

In radical environmental circles, the current dogma is that man is the cancer of the planet. […] We must take care not to simply react to contemporary extremists, animal rights nuts, etc.

There is no other way, no other option. If you will not have Christ-sons for rulers, then you have made your choice—you will have the Herod-apes for rulers.

The point here is that the Christian has a natural point of appeal above every human institution—whether that institution be popular elections, that fortress of fraud we call the Congress, the faux-imperial White House, or the black-robed Nazgul who ghoulishly prey on the unborn. One of them singly, or all of them together, can be withstood by one courageous man with an open Bible.

I grant that the establishment is arrayed against you. I agree with Jeremy Carl that you are the unprotected class. I understand that their malicious bigotry is real. I know that they have closed and bolted multiple doors against you. I know that you've been made to sit through insolent workshops instructing everybody else about your toxicity. I get the fact that you've watched DEI nincompoops get vaulted past you into high positions.

There are plenty of unqualified, inflammatory things I could say this month. Some might even be true. Millennials are betas. Women are bad at voting. Men are bad at leading women. Empire's great. Hamas got what it deserved. Abolitionists are silly. White people are the worst. Black people are the worst. People are the worst. I could spend my entire month triggering simpletons.

There really is a growing problem on the right, and some of it is not all that crypto. A dragnet approach in leveling charges is not helpful. Neither is it helpful for those against whom the charges are leveled to be all indignant like a roomful of wet cats saying nobody here but us chickens.

Christ died so that foul racists and evil woketards might both be forgiven and united in the new race. Grace is offered to slave owners and DEI coordinators, but I repeat myself. The feminist ministrix is invited right alongside the chauvinist blowhard.

Civic liberty is an impossibility for a people who are enslaved to their lusts. For such a people, constitutional liberties are nothing but paper liberties—the kind of thin surety that tends to satisfy slaves who need to be flattered by their masters. [...] If you want a nation of pot-smoking fornicators to be free, you want something that is not going to happen.

Among other things, they have persuaded us that sustainable is a good word, and they have also persuaded us that the Greens are not the enemy of mankind. This was quite an achievement, because one of the things their mainstream leaders say over and over again, out in public and everything, is that the presence of humanity is THE problem. The environmental movement is not to be understood as Friends of Bambi and Thumper. The environmental movement has to be understood rather as a pagan death cult.

Graphic and obscene materials are introduced to the little kids in the government sponsored grooming centers, the word gets out, parents show up at school board meetings, the Justice Department opens investigations on the parents as potential domestic terrorists, and other parents pull their kids out and head off down the road.

And revilers. God calls you to repent of the kind of venom that you spew at ministers of the gospel of free grace who stand against the sexual corruptions of this evil generation. You need to repent of all the venomous comments you made over the last week, directed at us, and there were quite a few of them. If you don’t repent, you are lost forever. Revilers will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
