No Longer Quivering
by Doug Wilson of Blog and Mablog – Gayer Than the Kiwi Queen of the Fire Island Fruit Festival
Editor’s note: This is beyond disgusting! I nearly shared this last week when thin-skinned afraid of effeminacy Tim Bayly first started whining over it, but Doug Wilson takes it to an entirely new nasty level. Where’s the sin in creatively worshiping God in the way that fulfills you? There’s nothing sexual at all about the performance. Heaven forfend that either of these nasty Christian pastors ever have to attend a ballet or opera. The video they are objecting to can be found at the end of the post.
What is the problem with this? Summed up, it is that this performance is gayer than the kiwi queen at the Fire Island Fruit Festival. This performance is gayer than an HR memo at Google headquarters. How gay was it? It was gayer than an NPR tote bag full of rainbows. It was gayer than a unicorn parade through the Castro District. It was gayer than a lavender sparkly pen.
And to top it all off, we live in an antinomian generation, where the only sins possible are those represented by something like the preceding paragraph. It is not okay to say “gayer than,” but it is beyond okay to be “gayer than.”
It is no sin to watch this video clip and not know what the particular problem is. Human self-deception can occupy the heart like a rabbit warren under a large meadow. The particular problems can be hard to identify and trace. But the general problem is screamingly obvious. If you can look at this clip and not know that there is a grievous problem somewhere, then the self-deception involved is truly profound.
Incidentally, I am aware that some will say that I obviously don’t understand art, or ballet, or culture, or something important to blue state urbanites. That’s as may be, but I understand men who still have their spiritual gonads. And if you can look at that clip and fail to understand why the church is so deeply unattractive to real men, then there is very little hope for you. And speaking of art, if you can look at that clip and fail to understand why real men are so repulsed by the artistic “community,” then there is even less hope.
Wilson followed his word salad tantrum with how he thinks real men should dance with a clip of a rugby team doing the Haka. Here’s how he thinks men should only dance. Using a different clip than his because….it’s Jason Momoa and about a thousand times more interesting than his rugby team plus they make Wilson’s guys seem, dare I say it, wimpy.
QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think?
