It's not about that. I'm not looking for Laurie to be better model for me. I dismissed his and others' infantile approach to teleology a long time ago. Rather, I'm observing the effect that his sloppy evangelism has on new believers he purports to care about. I don't think there's an excuse for his reckless statements given the cost of doubt. Doubt is costly, yes? He's not protecting his flock by repeating Ken Ham's comical view of the world and should be called out for it. I get the sense that he himself is protected from real criticism because he's kind of a charming celebrity-type figure within the evangelical world.
Anyhoo, we don't have to keep going back and forth on this. I understand you a bit more, and I think you understand me more, too. Surely you know I'm not advocating the guy's lynching.
