Ann Coulter is renowned for her disparaging remarks about all sorts of people. She claims to be right every time and indeed sees bigotry and having a mean spirit as virtues. She also claims to be a Christian and says that Christian ideas underpin her writing and politics. OK, lets see how Ann stands up to 1 Timothy 2, for example.
1 Timothy 2 verse 9 states that christian women should dress modestly. - Ann Coulter often wears very short, revealing, tight fitting skirts.
1 Timothy 2 verse 10 suggest that christian women should support their claim to godliness by means of good works. - Does Ann Coulter do any genuinely good work (in the biblical sense) these days?
1 Timothy 2 verse 11 says christian women should quietly receive their christian instruction with entire submissiveness. - Don't think Ann fits into this category.
1 Timothy 2 verse 12 says christian women should not exercise authority over a man and should keep quite. - Ditto
So it appears that Ann falls short. Maybe she should "remove the plank .. before seeing the speck" as the good book says.
Ann Coulter is flawed but she should still be appreciated.
