Perfectly understandable since Mark doesn't write his own books. The 1% tools like him hire people to write

Bullshit. Everyone knows it was Satan.

For more information on why Janet Mefferd is a lying sack of shit, see Fred Clark at Slacktivist: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist…

Mark Driscoll is a pig's butthole, but when he was on her show he was only the second-worst person in the room. Mefferd is on the side of Pam Fuckin' Geller and Peter LaBarbera, that's who. Sample quote:
every Christian who supports real marriage might be made to wear a yellow patch on the sleeve, a ‘badge of shame’ to identify us as ‘anti-gay haters.’ Kind of like the Jews in Nazi Germany.

@3

Who's worse? Cult leader who lies, hates gays, and subjugates his female congregants or a right wing nut job who lies, hates gays, and is speaking to her minority choir?

I think the cult leader is the more villainous one. Driscoll has direct influence on people's lives and regularly destroys them. This women, albeit terrible, only has indirect influence.

The bottom line: an author puts his or her name on a piece of work. That means to the world that it is their own, except for the parts attributed to other authors. It's that simple. A research assistant may be a contributing factor, but Driscoll is still entirely to blame.

@3: My head just exploded a little. Comparing anti-gay bigots to victims of the Holocaust? She should've said we'll make them wear pink triangles like the Nazis did to the Jews.

@6: I mean the gays, obviously.

@6, that's not the worst of it. She's all in -- Obama's secret plan for martial law by 2016, Muslims should be kicked out of the country, American evangelicals visiting Uganda to support the move to LITERALLY EXTERMINATE ALL GAYS are doing the Lord's work -- all of it. Read the article.

@4, you're wrong. She has a bigger platform, and she's much more extreme. Driscoll wants women to sit quietly and obey their husbands; Mefferd wants every mosque in the country to be torn down. Driscoll lets gays attend his church but not join it; Mefferd wants homosexuals to be put to death. Driscoll thinks masturbating is "gay" because you're touching a dick; Mefferd thinks Obama is instituting an Islamist regime NEXT YEAR.

In fact, I think appearing on her show is the most offensive thing he's ever done (though not the craziest).

3, you're falling into the same hole of the fundie xtians: extreme duality w/ no room for subtlety.

Nothing about your points re: Mefferd make any difference. She's just the one who exposed MD's plagiarism. Her other crazy views have nothing to do with that. By calling MD on his shit, it doesn't make her a saint, and calling her out doesn't make you one, either. Although I get the impression you think it does.

@9: I'm pretty sure Fnarf was just drawing attention to how awful she is. It is always important to know thy enemy.

Here's hoping they settle it with pistols at dawn.

I get the sense that Driscoll settles a lot of his issues with "pistols" at dawn.

@8, "In fact, I think appearing on her show is the most offensive thing he's ever done..."

well, you're not a woman.

@12 Nice.

Brothers, sisters...come together! Surely we can agree that Driscoll and Mefferd are both horrible people, and enjoy the spectacle of them devouring each other!

Please wait...
