Filipkowski’s Twitter Post Ignites Hate Speech
Ironically Ron Filipkowski’s Twitter post ignited a fire of hate speech attempting to call out what he believes is hate speech. Harrison described Filipkowski as a man who has decided people who believe in Biblical morality “aren’t Christians or pastors, and shared that he tweeted that Christians who believe in Biblical morality are “hiding behind a façade of Christianity.”
Admitting that he purposely selected the short clip of Harrison after being asked why he shared it, Filipkowski who apparently opposes what the Bible says about homosexuality although he claims he doesn’t, said he wanted “to make people aware of what [Promise Keepers] are up to and what their true views are.” Defending his exposure of Harrison interview he said, “Not one person will attend this event because of my tweet, but thousands will be more informed.”
For the husband of a Children’s Director at their church it is disheartening that Filipkowski calls pastors and Christians who teach and follow the Bible “right wing extremists” while joining in with his followers applauding their hateful foul-mouth rhetoric towards Christians. Here is just some of what his post inspired.
“What total [censored word]. These phony ”Christian men” are as far away from Jesus’s teachings that you can get! Jesus taught to love and he is the one who judges not these horrible diabolical poor excuses.”
“Those guys will all end up in bed together.” [Filipkowski’s response: “Mortal lock.”]
“80,000 Christian men? Great. Getting a prostitute that weekend is going to be impossible.” [Filipkowski’s response: ” Pretty much “]
“Will they please just cut to the chase and start using the N word: Nazi.” [Filipkowski’s response: ” I do.”]
“80,000 Christian men there to [censored word] each other.” [Filipkowski’s response: That’s not fair! Probably 10% will abstain.”]
“Promise Keepers has always been a reflection of the bigoted misogynist that founded them. Your changing perception of what they are and what they’ve stood for may be more representative of your individual growth than the organization’s decline.”
