Visionaries,
Jon said, “Attacking the defenseless is, without any doubt, absolute cowardice.” The problem here is that those doing this are kamikaze types. They are not just killing the defenseless, they are surrendering their own lives in order to be able to do so. I call it wicked, and cruel, and lots of others things. But I don’t call it drunken, lustful, or cowardly. Those are different sins. Neither, incidentally, do I call it heroic. Fanatical is more like it.
Cordially,
Douglas Wilson
“Apologetics in the Void” are repostings from an on-going electronic discussion and debate I had some time ago with members of our local community, whose names I have changed. The list serve is called Vision 20/20, and hence the name “visionaries.” Reading just these posts probably feels like listening to one half of a phone conversation, but I don’t feel at liberty to publish what others have written. But I have been editing these posts (lightly) with intelligibility in mind.
