As per multiple concerns here, I'll break it into several posts.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

Did the OP contain excerpts from the aborted attack on John Dehlin in the Mormon Studies Journal?

Droopy, it is obvious you demonize by labeling something as 'secular'. Secular is focused on the temporal. It is the practical, the real. Such are certainly an anathema to religion. You seem to be quite troubled that Dehlin adds a dose of reality to the Mormon experience. 'Secular' might be the bogeyman in sacrament meeting, but we're not in sacrament meeting here at MDB. You likely do not get the traction by describing here something as 'secular' as you would inside the Cult Bubble.
