Here is the choice before you, Evangelical. You can join the community of grown-ups who have the humility and sobriety to admit they don't have all the answers, that there is good and bad in most every Christian work, that all of us need God's mercy, and we all should work together and help each other.

Or you can remain in the nutty fringe who claims to have the secrets keys to all insight, who have a corner on truth and light, and who are qualified to sit in judgment of everyone else, who despite their history of minuscule numbers and feeble growth believe they are the vanguard of a brave new world God is building with them at his right hand.

Groups in the latter category have come and gone down through history. They never amount to much. The LCM is just another instance. This is doesn't mean the LCM doesn't have some good things. Like I said, there is good in most all Christian works. But you are not all that you think you are and you are certainly not qualified to demand the rest of the Church do things you way. And it's really getting old listening to you assume you are.

And it's getting old hearing you repeat arguments that have been refuted over and over here. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results. I don't think you are insane but sometimes it's hard to tell.

Why not let your pet beliefs go and try to find common ground here? That would go a lot farther toward softening people to the LCM than any of your, let us say, shaky arguments and stubborn opinions will.
