I still think the Easter Bunny is coming too.

What are you implying? He’s not?

From believing that the Religious Reich were at least sincere and misunderstood, to seeing them as they are.

And all you want to do is help people. Including helping those who are gay and don’t want to be deal with that in whatever way works. Sincere? Yes. Misunderstood, especially by GLBT activists? Far less than you used to be. Few recognised scientific integrity and genuine goodwill, when you were associated with those who have neither.

Not that I can blame you. They did, and still do, call themselves both “christian” and “scientific”. You attempt to be both.

Now I’m about to go tackle one Dr Michael Brown once more. He still believes the line the Family Research Council, NARTH etc are pedalling. I wish I could shake his faith in them, but facts don’t seem to work. They’re all I’ve got though.

I don’t know if he’s running for President or not, but he’s definitely trying to sell books.

Warren deserves the props.

But he shouldn’t.

It should be the norm – no, it should be the rule without exception – that those who profess Christ should also love honesty and forthrightness, delight in the truth, and never engage in deception or cruelty. We should be able to say, “Oh, well Warren’s a Christian, so of course he has scientific integrity and genuine goodwill.”

It is so sad that it is now actually noteworthy when some rare individual behaves in a manner that should be a shared attribute of the faith.

(For what it’s worth, while I agree with him on very little, I think Albert Mohler strives for scientific integrity and genuine goodwill. I don’t think he always gets there but he appears to me to endeavor to be an honorable man.)
