To say that James Lawson engaged in moral equivalence in his recent speech doesn’t begin to cover it. He slandered the faith of which he’s supposed to be not only a member but a teacher. Human Events has the story. (h/t Hot Air) James Lawson, a visiting professor of divinity, said
“We have denied, for example, the genocide against Native Americans. We have denied domestic violence as being a serious disorder in our midst. We have denied the spiritual and moral effects on our character, like slavery and racism.”
And yet thousands of blacks are currently being enslaved. I don’t expect him to read right-wing publications like the New York Times, but surely he’s seen this Common Dreams article. Where’s the outrage? The genocide of thousands of blacks in Darfur and Rwanda go uncriticized by this civil rights/peace activist.
These things are being done by Muslims. But in Professor Lawson’s alternate universe, things are very different. “The attack on Islam has been misplaced,” he said. “The most violent religion in the world for the past 500 years at least has been Christianity.”
Calling Christianity more violent than Islam is patently ridiculous.
Lawson then lobbied for the global warming crowd, expressing his dissatisfaction with President Bush on climate change, asserting that there is a “sizable consensus that there is a reality that can be called global warming.”
A sizeable consensus of people bought Backstreet Boys albums. Another sizeable consensus of people believe the Loose Change b.s. So tell me again why I should care what a sizeable consensus of people believe?
Whatever claims this man may have for scholarship are refuted by his own words.
Greetings,
I was doing some research and came across your website. It seems that we have similar perspectives on things. By way of a quick introduction, my name is Freddy Davis and I am the Executive Director of MarketFaith Ministires, an equipping ministry dealing with the topic of worldview. I don’t write political commentary, but I do write books and articles designed to help Christians know how to deal with people who have viewpoints that are not Christian.
My ministry website [website address removed - Ed.] has a good deal of resource material that might be of interest to you and the people who view your website. Feel free to look it over if you like and if there is anything that you find that might be attractive to your visitors, feel free to use it (just give me credit). Let me know if there is any way I can be of service to you.
Hope you have a terrific day.
God bless,
Freddy
That’s *really* well-done spam. You know, if you’d emailed it to me requesting a post, I’d have done it. You might try that in the future.
