The Top Ten Happenings in Mopologetics, 2012

[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

It's a damned shame when intelligent people get caught up in the nastiness, isn't it?

This board is page one proof.

I think if you had said the proof is in the pudding we'd be on the same page.

And regardless, Hamblin's comments make it seem as if this will be a long, protracted war, that will likely never end without GA intervention.

So how long does Bradford have to keep his job so DCP et al can't say "I told you so?"

That's a good question. And even if/when he does step down, how will that be a "victory" for them? I suppose it will depend on who the successor winds up being.

If the administration retires him in 15 years, and replace him with Margaret Toscano, there will be some of the DCP cabal who will cry, "I told you so, the Brethern didn't supporting his treatment of DCP and the Brethern retiring him is the proof."

I take consolation in the fact that this little dust-up has nothing to do with religion, history or doctrine. Rather, it is all in cosmetics.

Cosmetics and ego.

This bit caught my eye:

You can always send your refund check to Interpreter, where we have already published many of the articles dumped by MI, and will eventually publish them all.

So much for original contributions eh? I think I see a trend here.... perhaps Mopologetics have taken to the thinking that repetition makes truth real. Repeat something long enough and sure enough, the Holy Spirit testifies to it! No evidence needed. No analysis needed. No fact checking needed. REPETITION! Say it Willis! Say it Sam! Say it Tom, and it will be the Will of God Almighty as the sterling truth. Interesting pattern to be sure.

So where is the Dehlin piece already?
I can't speak for everyone, but the longer they wait the less I care.
During the height of the conterversy they probably had an opportunity to give the piece a relatively high readership.

Religion, history and doctrine have a whole lot of cosmetics and ego.

That is the question that came to my mind.

I understand the sentiment, but, if the pieces have not been published, they will at least be an improvement over the Interpreter's recycled bits from other venues that have appeared before.
