Babylon Bee CEO says Christian university disinvited him from speaking in chapel following mob complaints about his stance against BLM

Palm Beach Atlantic University has reportedly disinvited Seth Dillon, university alumnus and CEO of the Babylon Bee — a Christian satire website — from speaking at the Christian school's chapel because of its "sacredness."

The announcement came on the heels of social media outrage against Dillon and his views on Black Lives Matter and traditional Christian sexuality.

The school now reportedly would prefer Dillon to speak instead at the university's library. What are the details?

Dillon, who spoke to Campus Reform for an interview published on Saturday, revealed that the school recanted its invitation for him to speak at the school's chapel.

He told the outlet that the school insisted upon switching the venue of Dillon's speech after students flooded the school with emails — as well as social media remarks — over his stance against Black Lives Matter and on traditional Christian sexuality.

Dillon, who, according to the outlet, has branded Black Lives Matter a terrorist organization, tweeted about the news, writing, "Cancel culture has come for me. I'm just too dangerous and divisive to be permitted to speak on the campus of my alma mater. Since when do you have to support terrorist organizations that use violence and intimidation to advance their agenda to be welcome on a Christian campus?"

Cancel culture comes to Christian colleges.

“It’s sounds appropriate that he’d speak in the library instead of the chapel.”

Maybe, but it looks like they need to revisit what is being taught in the chapel.

PBAU is apparently pro-sodomite. Dillon takes the bible's stance against the abomination that is sodomite behavior.

PBAU celebrates sodomites in their campus "sacred space." This behavior is so "sacred" that God condemns it with physical death in the here and now.

Does this news suggest a satirical column?
