Steven Furtick going on the attack (so what's new)

Steven Furtick the ad hominem attacker continues essentially attacking the little kids who exclaim "the emperor has no clothes"

Um here's the thing Steven, um. NO.

However, you might take some advice from that page:

"Criticize by creating, not by running your stupid mouth, regurgitating page 87 of Desiring God, and doing damage to the cause of Christ by casting aspersions on a fellow minister of the Gospel."

Hey, I didn't write it, he did. Although he would probably not be reading Desiring God, but more like the Purpose Driven Life or the latest thing by Bill Hybels on how to whip your followers into shape, I dunno.

I counted 11 ad hominem attacks in that post (some of which are hidden in straw men argumentation) and there are about 33 lines or sentences (or fragments), give or take. So 33 percent of the time he is insulting people. Amazing. Wonder if he'll come after his critics like his mentor Perry Noble?
