Okay Okay

You commenters are perfectly right. There’s no cause to be snarky and polemical about the faith and beliefs of others, on whatever side of whatever debate. I ought not to blog first thing in the morning while my tea gets cold.

However, I wasn’t really trying to be snarky. I’m honestly curious. I’m experiencing a chasmic divide in world view. I don’t understand what makes the leadres of TEC get up and go every day. I’m not talking about the average wonderful people in TEC who really believe and who didn’t ask for this mess. I’m talking about the people who not only asked for the mess but went out and created it. If the human person is supposed to be basically good, what do you do when there’s not enough good in the human person?

This question is largely prompted by various pastoral care/evangelism I’m being called upon to ladel out. The two go hand in hand.

Alright, I’ll stop blogging. I’m too tired to articulate this question properly. If you can grope your way towards understanding what I’m trying to ask, by all means, answer away.
