[Vision2020] Oh the irony, or is it ignorance?

[Rosemary Huskey]

Amen.  I was speaking to a friend about this very thing .  I thought that
the billboard offered a teachable moment regardless of the belief system of
the viewer.  I'm guessing that  faith  as fragile as Judd Wilson's is either
build on sand or Pat  Robertson's theology and probably both.

A response to Judd Wilson's public rant:

 

My husband and I have two kids (and a grandchild). We are "Open Doctrin
Wiccans". We very much desire (and are living) a life on the land, with
freedom and the support of local, state, and federal government in the form
of roads, schools, infrastructure, and assistance to the needy. We desire to
be Wiccan Agrarians, with organic and sustainable practices, and have no
television or cell phones (not because these are "bad" but because we just
don't need them!). We are thankful for our ability to provide for our own
well-being, and support others who do the same. We also support several
families who cannot provide for themselves. We pay our taxes and support
community causes. We have no difficulty embracing those in the community who
are Christians, Atheists, Pagans, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, and anyone else
who wishes to reside in Moscow and make a life here. If some faith or
non-faith puts up a billboard, it does not impact me or mine. I have always
been  fully capable of speaking with my children about "faith", and believed
they would find the path that worked for them. 

 

I have zero sympathy for Judd Wilson. If he has an inability to discuss this
with his child, if his belief is challenged by a mere billboard, and if he
needs the entire community to validate his point of view, I say he needs to
look to his scripture---"Oh, Ye of Little Faith" indeed.

Speaking of irony, I think there's a bigger one with respect to Judd Wilson.
With his recent whine (sympathetically received, it seems, by some loony
council members) to the City Council, he falls into the usual category of
hypocritical theocrat-craving creeps, something those of us living in this
area know all too much about.

"My name is Judd Wilson. My wife and I have two kids, are Reformed
Presbyterian Christians, and very much desire a life on the land, with
freedom and safety from our government, and charity towards our neighbors.
We desire to be Christian agrarians rather than dependent on modern
worldliness for our life and well-being. . . "

 

Is it just me, or does he remind anyone else of another infamous local
Wilson who is anti-government except when he & his minions want to use
government as a big stick to punish or silence those with whom they
disagree???

To me, the most offensive part of the flapadoodle regarding the humanist
billboard is Judd Wilson's position at the University of Idaho.

One would imagine, given his job description, that he might be acquainted
with freedom of speech.  Perhaps his supervisors should have a chat with
him.  That degree from Regeant University  <http://www.regent.edu/about_us/>
is really telling, isn't it?  Rose Huskey
