LaHaye-isms

Taken from this article here's how Tim LaHaye tries to evade the charge that he isn't anti-Catholic:

"The Bible clearly speaks against the 'mystery of Babylon, mother of harlots,' " he said.

"It's a religious system that has invaded many religions, not just Roman Catholicism," LaHaye said. "Many Protestant religions have this mystery, Babylonish teaching that has people worshipping idols instead of the living God. It's not an attack on the Catholic church."


Double-speak at its finest, no? Reminds me of the typical Democrat Catholic mantra of personally being against abortion but supporting the right of a woman "to choose".

Update: Actually, here's a better example of "LaHayist" Logic. Adolfo Hisler, a white Anglo-Saxon, believes there are types of people in this world who are not fully human. Included in his list of "inferiors" are people of Jewish descent. Although one might be tempted to do so, it is wrong to accuse Hisler of being anti-Semitic, because along with Jews, he believes there are some types of white Anglo-Saxons (e.g., those who don't believe Jews are subhuman) who are as equally less than human. As such, if you are going to accuse Mr. Hisler of anything, accuse him of being anti-subhumanity. He is not attacking Jews.
