“Christians understand the importance of correct theology but non-Christians just. don’t. get. it.”
True, but there are many Christians in this day and age who fall for the idea that the good he did and the “Reverend” in front of his name indicate a spiritual state that is not evidenced by his life in other areas, and I have to admit that that always bothers me. I don’t want to go to a talk or ceremony that holds him up as a model of virtue and Christianity when it’s not obvious his life was characterized by either one — and significant evidence that it was not. That’s what gets me. Christians should know better. (When I have to attend the in-service at my school on these days, I go late because I won’t sit through that. I refuse.)
I hear you.
