I hear you on numbers one and two but the rest sound like leftist divide and conquer talking points.

The challenges that life offers has no real bearing on the road traveled. The human experience is the human experience. There should be no reason that a well educated experienced man can’t help or offer perspective to anyone.

Of course if vapidity and shallowness extend to the intellect there’s no hope for it.

are you going to take advice about being a dad from a guy who never has been one? But he speaks with total authority and thinks he just knows better than you do?

if you already don’t have much respect for him because the sermons are shallow and not substantial? Don’t think he really knows too well what he’s talking about?

If you think he’s gay? Or you know he leads a life that’s insulated from the lives married people lead?

first hand experience is important in CREDIBILITY of the person offering the advice. It lets the person getting the advice know the person offering the advice really may have dealt with similar things and aren’t just talking out of their hiney.

Number 7 is very solid, and number 6 is probably valid as well.
