OK, I started reading these with the idea of trying to write some helpful interaction. The religious right is dying and I am glad of it (not happy that I regularly read a lot of socialist garbage from young Evangelicals who respect Jimmy Carter as one only can if he wasn’t born until after his administrations, but I’m happy we’re leaving the Religious right behind.)
But, honestly, a lot of these “theses” are just the pc version of “racial profiling” where the writer presumes to judge the personal family habits of entire groups of people. It is no different than ways in which one might talk about homosexuals as a group. It is acceptable because the target is OK to hate, and for no other reason. And then with #87, the writer degenerates into pure fantasy. Atheists who hate the Bible and Christianity at least show evidence they have read the text. This guy never looked at it, or he is lying.
Yeah. His theses are certainly not entirely wrong, but they seem somehow wrongheaded. Either he is being a hypocrite in accusing the RR of not showing love (via his own uncharitable depiction of the RR), or he just doesn’t agree with the idea of charity at all.
I doubt this is the sort of thing the would make for a good written discussion, but it could be valuable just as something to refer people to for a look at how someone outside the RR views those inside. Someone who grew up in a narrow religious community might get some benefit from trying to understand his points.
