I think that it was very clear.

And when I say that I reject Lee outright, I also clearly did not simply leave the LRC and immediately reject Lee. I actually defended him for many (many) years. It was only when I was faced with this and its predecessor forums that I began to see that I should reject the whole, not just cherry-pick.

But I am also surrounded by strong evangelical teachings so that I am never at risk of doing the old baby-with-the-bathwater thing. I know what is sound. But when something gives me reason to stop and think, I stop and think. I explore anything that doesn't jive.

And I've concluded that the fact that it has Lee's name attached to it is grounds to start with a strongly skeptical view.
