@craignewmark #JonathanSwift was at his absolute best on the subject of #BearingFalseWitness. A rare purely radical outing from him, with no underlying satire and no appeal to a reactionary or imagined past ideal. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Works_of_the_Rev._Jonathan_Swift/Volume_10/On_bearing_false_Witness.

The timing also represents a rare instance of him getting ahead of the debate.

Finally, it shows up the appalling hypocrisy of so many self-proclaimed Christians (especially of the evangelical persuasion).
