Still, it is a stupid and hurtful move that fuels what???
Resentment, of course. Anger. And most of all the fear and smear machine. It's dumb, it's harmful, it reinforces negative stereotypes about Christians, and it's ultimately one of the more cynical moves I've seen in a while from a pseudo-religious organization looking to tap into crazy internet donors.
I get it. There's a reason I called it a dumbass stunt.
But...I can't be a civil libertarian and try to claim they have no right to be disgusting morons if no laws are broken, can I?
I will neither confirm or deny.
I will neither encourage or discourage. It all needs to play out.
Or... for myself, I can allow for Conscience dictate, and give witness from my personal perspective, not prohibiting, but seeking to influence in a positive way. We all in the end have a right to remain on a poor course, accepting full responsibility for doing so, I guess.
Sort of like buying used lottery tickets though.
Great analogy.
Whoring for cash by playing into stereotype and using deliberate provocation usually doesn't end well. But it's their choice, nobody asked me.
I just hope nothing more comes of it than some Koran sellers having a good month and a few days of strong words on the internets.
