You all realize you’re just egging these folks on by making videos, tweets, etc right?

I know it’s good for smiles and yells (or clicks if you’re a “news” org), but as a Baptist with a couple of Seminary degrees under my belt, it always frustrates me to see the level of Biblical (and religious) illiteracy on both sides.

Of course Jesus didn’t want us to fear “Him” or him. Of course these people have a vested political and financial interest.

The issues of “righteousness,” “sin,” “love” and especially God have been debated by intelligent, compassionate and level-headed folks for millenia.

So let’s do our best to create an intelligent citizenry that realizes the ever-present existence of extremism in all cases.

Confronting these folks and giving them more exposure is just silly.

Thomas and I will be doing a podcast tomorrow.

You all should listen.

Then you should all do this.
