Dr. King, Argument from Authority
#30
RE: Dr. King, Argument from Authority
So MLK derived his tactics of non-violent protest from a Hindu, counted among his closest advisors several secular people, clashed with a majority of 'good' Christian southern pastors regarding his tactics and timing, and shamed the southern powers-that-be by appealing to the American creed that all men are created equal (not exactly a refrain that runs through the Bible). Oh, and though he was undeniably a Christian pastor, he also expressed doubts about core tenets of the faith. Add to that the simple fact that none of his campaigns, tactics, or values require faith in Christianity, and what are we left with?

An OP with no real point.
