Taking his combined Nazi-Confederate flag burning demonstration to NASCAR country, Pennsylvania activist Gene Stilp continued his push for awareness by burning the two symbols, which he says represent similar ideals.

Judah P. Benjamin would be surprised to learn that the cause he supported was just like the people who would have killed him for being a Jew if they had had the chance.
Being dragged behind a race car at 200mph will not be good for the activist.
Gene Stilp is becoming a symbol ... maybe he should set himself on fire to prove his point.
Sometimes you think common sense is common.
Not so much, I guess.
What about the “gay” Nazi flag?

Or the muslim Nazi flag?

Aren’t they much more real (and scary) than the totally fictional “Confederate Nazi” flag?
I say we start a poll as to how many
full beer cans thrown in his direction
will it take to put the fire out?
How do General! Dang but don’t you do yourself some readin’ and writin’ and fancy book learnin’! All on the wrong reasons about the right subject. The South fought tooth and nail to preserve slavery stupid and nothing you or any other “Lost Causer’’ will ever admit it. Tell me something General, if the South had won the war it started would it have freed the slaves?
They were Democrats.
Yeah. Just of course for the slavery thing....
Aw hey , C’mon. I live in ‘’Joisey’’(NJ) I thought we were the worst.
Well said.
Nobody would have known of this idiotic stunt if this idiot hadn't called in to the local news station and said "hey, look at me and what I'm gonna do....".........
There are things we tolerate now and which the left champions, like abortion or homosexuality, that are worse than slavery.
You can thank Dinesh D’Souza.
I value the DoI and the Constitution, but judgments based on them are not scriptural.
For what’s it is worth, when it comes to assessing something as sin, as abominations, we should neither add nor subtract from Scripture. This means dealing with the evidence we have from Scripture just as it is.
Now, it is said of divorcee that “God hates divorce” and that because of the hardness of their hearts that Moses permitted them to divorce.
But that isn’t all: for divorce is regulated. This is important because it indicates a class of objects between “abominations” and things that are just okay. These are things that are not good, which God may even hate, but which can be regulated and if properly regulated then the abuses of it are prevented. These are, just to be clear, NOT good things ... but neither are they automatically abominations.
Now, with respect to slavery we see that it is arguably also something that Moses permitted (because of the hardness of their hearts) but was told to regulate. This is the proper response to those folks who go on about slavery being approved of in the Bible because you do not regulate things that are harmless and not prone to abuses (their rhetoric point is demonstratably false).
So slavery apart from any other consideration is not, as you say, inherently an abomination.
Since we don’t have a clear statement where “God hates slavery” we cannot say it is to be automatically considered as bad a divorce is (divorce represents a betrayal of convenient relationship).
But it must be properly regulated, and Scripture has something to say about what constitutes that (or do you think Paul inherently treated Onesimus poorly in sending him back?).
If is here, that black chattel slavery was not just unregulated but was regulated is ways entirely at odds with what Scripture commends, malregulated if you will, that said system could be said to constitute an abomination.
But no person was engaging in sin just because they owned a slave and the government malregulated the estate if they did obeyed better commands rather than cultural/political ones.
Whereas homosexuality (or adultery for that matter) CANNOT be regulated to limit its evil ... nor can murders be. These are always worse.
If that put me at odds with this culture, well, I’m okay with that. We are not called to be approved of by society or even to care about its judgments.
“Covenant relationship” ... some typoes and autocorrects brought on by touch screen typing and pudgy fingers are just plain worse than others ...
All due respect my friend but you go on a bit of a tangent to excuse an evil. Slavery is/was and always be evil. Plain and simple.
I chalk my typos to middle aged eyesight. :-)
I’m not excusing it. I’m giving reasons why it is not inherently as condemnation worthy as things which actually ARE abominations and which our culture tolerates, even celebrates in some sectors.
I get it, our culture is so libertine and, frankly, obcessed with entitlement that it cannot conceive of anything worse than the opposite of that which it lusts for. It is a cesspool and even the saints, who will ultimately be washed clean of the filth we have had to endure while the old body of death is finally has remained, are still spattered about from those splashing in the filth and mire though we may manage to keep to the shallows and actually want to be clean.
I have no concern for the moral umbrage of those who eagerly spash about in filth. I do care about the opinions of those whom hope to be finally lifted out of the cesspool and thus I present such arguments to them from time to time.
