"While Glenn's social views are compatible with many Christian views, his beliefs in Mormonism are not. Clearly, Mormonism is a cult," the news release said.

Dobson is the embodiment of Matthew 7:15.

Schneeberger said the criticism from Underground Apologetics had "nothing to do with our decision to pull the article from publication," but admitted that "some from our base" were concerned that the interview aimed to "signal theological compromise."

...

"We intended no insult; we merely miscalculated on how best to feature Glenn."

The man was on to talk about his Christmas memories and his new Christmas book. How much "featuring calculation" does that require?

It's fortunate for modern Christianity that Jesus didn't view supping with sinners and publicans as "signaling theological compromise," else we'd have no New Testament.

Idiots.

I thought you guys were talking about Julie Beck at first.

I was like, "What the hell, what is Julie Beck doing with the evangelicals?"
