You Lose

The surest way to win a battle of values and ideals is to present an idea in a way that nobody in their right mind could possibly disagree with it, and yet your oponent, based on his on values and ideals has to attack it in order to be consistent.

Here is a perfect example of what losing looks like, penned by the Agape Press, the media arm of the (hate-filled) American Family Association.

A new report finds that 13 out of 16 institutions in the University of North Carolina system have at least one policy that "clearly and substantially" restricts free speech... [That is] especially hostile to Christian students and their religious liberty.

What would those policies be? Lessee...
  • A ban on "insults, taunts, or challenges directed toward another person" (Appalachian State University).
  • A practice of outlawing "statements of intolerance" (North Carolina Central University).
  • A requirement that all students "respect the dignity of all persons" and "strive for the openness to learn from differences in people" lest they be punished (UNC Asheville).
In case you aren't aware of why these policies irk these "Christians" (not real Christians, by the way), it is because they know that policies like this might stop them from calling people who are not like them "sinner", "wicked", "depraved", "hell-bound", et cetera, et cetera.

Like I said, when you are a Christian group that is reduced to railing against policies that "respect the dignity of all persons," you need to face the fact that you have really, really lost the argument.
