Christianity without Christ?
Who are these people, anyways?
‘Christian safe haven’ planned for US town led by pastor pushing for 10 Commandments law to ‘govern unbelievers’

Who is Maddox Industrial Transformer? The company apparently makes and sells electric utility equipment. What’s the big deal? Nice little niche industry. Just do your job, make your sales, collect your paycheck and business profits. It’s a perfect opportunity to mind your own business. Fence and a locked gate and no need to deal with “unbelievers” at all. Just live your Christian life, lead by example, and live and let live. Plenty of people pay their electric bills to keep you and your entire industry wealthy, whether they are believers or not.
Some businessman “pastor” who does not believe in mercy or grace or Christ or His fulfillment of the law is calling the rest of us unbelievers and haling us into prison, just like Saul before his conversion.
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison [Acts 8:3].
Very nice of OPB to duly report electric utility industrialist Camden Spiller’s ownership of “Spurgeon’s Pipe and Cigar” and “Tuke’s Taphouse.” Who would have thought people smoked and drank so much in Battle Ground, Washington? That electric dude is a little bit fried on moral grounds if he’s going to be a tobacconist and a tavernkeeper as well as a pastor or a religious minister.
Is that a bona fide Bible study group at the local beer pub? Come to think about it, even the Jews with the worst of their stereotypes of running local businesses have got to have more mercy and grace and common sense and maybe even Jesus Christ than this fellow calling himself a Christian pastor. Camden Spiller is apparently keeping up with Charles Platt, electical supplyman and author of the infamous novel The Gas.
What with the smoking and drinking, there is actually a casino not too far from Battle Ground, in a county of the same name as that where Las Vegas is located. Say there’s a “men’s religion” of temptations and constant talk about temptations into male indulgences. There’s no way out of the conclusion of ladies selling themselves openly on the streets in broad daylight if they aren’t being actively promoted and trafficked by these pseudo-religious ministers and pimps. Or do I have it all wrong, and these people are actually promoting morals and married family life and men and women getting along together as dear Christian brothers and sisters?
