Doug Wilson Says the N-Word, C-Word, S-Word, B-Word, and A-Word Because ‘Godly Obscenity Exists’
“My point is simply to show that godly obscenity exists. Certain subjects are not automatically off-limits. Of course, we are not protected by divine inspiration, as the apostles and prophets were, and so we fall short of biblical standards in many ways—and especially in an area like this, where we have so little practice and so few godly examples. However, we must become more puritanical and less Victorian—more ethical and open, and less sanctimonious and hypocritical.” — Doug Wilson
Doug Wilson Says If ‘Jesus Was White' and the Canaanite Woman Was ‘Black,’ He Would Have Said ‘It's Not Right’ ‘to Give Perfectly Good White Folk Food to ‘N****rs’’
“Put in terms that we might be more familiar with, Jesus was white, and the disciples were white, and this black woman comes up seeking healing for her daughter. She gets ignored. The disciples ask Jesus to send her off. She comes up and beseeches Christ for healing. It's not right, He says, to give perfectly good white folk food to ‘n****rs.’ [original unredacted]” — Doug Wilson
