Glenn Sunshine of "Why You Think the Way You Do" said in one of his lectures, "We need Christians people want to kill. It was at this point that I looked up who he was and realized that he was that blogger I'd occasionally see in my newsfeed 5 or 6 years ago. He does refer to Christ’s atonement from time to time, but will also say things like, “He (Christ) did everything for us that he possibly could,” but in addition to that, “we must love” (p. If we find religion to be a crashing bore, and are stimulated only by what is selfish and secular, how do you think we will fair in a place where the only things we really love are obliterated?

American Christianity seems to only desire "positive and encouraging" things, and shy away from anything "real and convicting. Then the crowd from the churches begins denouncing him as not a real Christian but only an intolerant bigot who is closed minded, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, etc. He tears apart church settings and pastors who have compromised their faith, but then rips into people for not going to church.Sobering but also enlightening and uplifting to all earnestly seek Chris, desire Christ, and a way to lead back into the true and only way. The more I've learned about progressive "Christianity", the more I'm concerned for the future of those who are so willing to discount the Word of God in favor of a god of their own design.

They begin going to churches throughout the land and do not find anything resembling what they thought was "Christian. Too many complacent ‘believers’ are failing to engage the secular culture; they’re drowning themselves in it instead. While I feel most of the folks on r/Catholicism will really like this book I doubt anybody here will “get” something “novel” out of it.
