My guess is that people like Scott see this panel discussion in terms of making sure that the apostate family member doesn't infect other family members with his or her apostasy. Such an approach would, I imagine, involve building walls between the family and the apostate.
Yeah, building walls (or making the walls that already clearly exist even higher and thicker than they are) is a complete fail for all involved - in my opinion.
It is also tragically sad - and tragically sad on multiple levels.
It might serve their immediate goals, but in the long run, I don't think such an approach helps these families at all.
Looking past their goals for a moment (whatever their goals are) and to focus the vision on something much more important in my view - helping families - is, without question, something that ought to receive serious attention, enormous effort and significant consideration.
I don't doubt that the FAIR folks believe they are performing a labor of love, compassion, kindness, and understanding,
Really?
How so?
