uruloki’s lair

As I was reading the article in my previous post, I noticed an ad for John Spong’s website. Reading “The last stand for intolerance” with a newspaper clip entitled “First Gay Bishop, Church Divided,” I had to check it out to get a glimpse of what the heretic is saying. Although the real meat of the site is hidden behind a subscription form, the front page pretty much sums it up. “The Authoritative Voice for Believers in Exile” would only be true if he wasn’t pandering to the mainstream, pseudoreligious members of the Episcopalian Church. Under praise, we have this:

If you don’t believe in the God of Sunday school, what does that say about the teaching? What did Sunday school teach that is so wrong about God, and why were they permitted to continue teaching it? Unless, of course, the Sunday school was teaching about a God that promoted and maintained absolutes, such sin and right vs. wrong, good vs. evil. It would be much better to teach “the uncertainty of not knowing” (Living in Sin by Spong), than any kind of absolutes.

I also take issue with the way the site characterizes Spong’s writing and views. Can you see the problem with this statement?

How about “true”? Doesn’t that imply some kind of “Absolute,” that Spong can know and disseminate “the truth,” and everything else is wrong? Maybe he should “embrace the uncertainty of not knowing.”

The whole “A New Christianity for a New World” thing is just too big for me to address. I need to go to sleep in order to purge my brain of this inane belief system that he promotes.
