This highlights the hallmark of Lee's equivocation -- when do our thoughts and words become those dreaded "opinions?"
My opinion is that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and died on the cross for my sins. I'll even die for that "opinion," but over on the alt-views that opinion is condemned as merely my unsubstantiated and unproven "opinion."
The LC uses the matter of "opinion" like progressives use their "politically correct" speech -- designed strictly to silence the mouths and minds of the rank and file. If my speaking matches that of the powers that be, then it is approved and sanctioned for further use. Otherwise my opinion may frustrate Jesus, and cause Him to even weep, or so Lee has said. (John 11.35 and footnote 3 of John 11.27)
