Well structured and solidly argued from several angles. It's encouraging that I, a member of 1 of the most liberal Xian denominations (UCC), and Randal, formerly prof @ an evangelical seminary are in alignment. I recommend the book highly as an honest examination of a challenging issue.

Christian apologists often say "atheists" are inconsistent because they protest evil in the world but then object when God addresses evil in biblical genocide and ethnic cleansing. My reply:

Four days ago, the president bellowed "Quiet, Piggy" at a female reporter who asked a question about Epstein and nobody gives a damn.

This is how the Pharisees of our day justify racial profiling, terrorizing communities, attacking priests giving communion, destroying families, running dehumanizing internment camps, and extra-judicial renditions to foreign torture sites.

A survivor of Epstein speaking this morning: "This is not a hoax. We will not be erased."

Do you stand with the sexual predator POTUS or with survivors of sexual abuse?

As Donald Trump attacks Epstein's one thousand victims as manufacturing a "Democratic hoax," I ask, how can evangelical Christians continue to support this moral monster?

MAGA Evangelical spin: "Trump may be a felon, rapist, pedophile, and insurrectionist, but he's our 'King Cyrus.' If God uses a sinner like Trump, he can use you and me too!"

Leviticus 18 and 20 condemn male-male intercourse. But these chapters also condemn menstrual intercourse. Why don't evangelicals talk about that? More here:
