Rule #1 in their...Creepy, and not terribly clever.<br /><br />Rule #1 in their brand of message politics: Don't make the other guy's argument for him. 80% of that post does nothing but advertise for progressivechristianity.org. <br /><br />In fact, I learned far more about this group from the LayMAN story than I could have learned from the websites of many of the very churches they're whining about!<br /><br />Not to mention the whole creepy hush hush tone of "Didja know these churches belong to this eeeeevil secret organization?" implication of the post, when in fact, everything is clearly and obviously public. So public in fact, that all the crack team of journalistic experts at the LayMAN had to do was ... read. Brilliant!<br /><br />Seriously, if this is the best they got, they wouldn't deserve to win, even if they were right. It is one thing to be a group of busybodies, fusspots, tattletales and scolds. But to be a bunch of shockingly incompetent busybodies, fusspots, tattletales and scolds....<br /><br />I mean, how is it even possible that they're this bad at everything? <br /><br />These days they're all about making lists. Lists of essentials, McCarthy-esque lists of bad people (what happened to that endeavor, I wonder?), lists of bad churches, lists of sins, lists of people who used to be "orthodox" but now aren't, lists, lists, lists... Sad really that the faith preached by their fathers and mothers has devolved to laying pipe and doing times tables.<br /><br />Their approach to faith and the most important questions in life is akin to a premed studying for the MCAT.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274395216929104919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-66233208323133562402012-10-02T15:39:23.541-07:002012-10-02T15:39:23.541-07:00Yep.
