They have two points to make, which they do, consistently and repeatedly:

1) You are inconsisten hypocrites, bleating words in worship and unfailingly failing to live them out. Yours is a Sunday-only kind of faith, window-dressing at best, and you are really no different than the rest of us.

2) Please. Keep your faith to yourself. Don’t impose, preach, proselytize or even give me a hint that you’re a Christian. It’s rude and intolerant.

I have never quite worked out how we’re supposed be living up to both of those expectations at the same time…

Update:

Tired of blogging with the slavishly literal and their scoldings constantly in mind, but we’ll forge on.  The point is:

The point is that we’re living in a culture in which simply trying to *live* one’s faith and raise one’s family consistently with it is being  rapidly defined as imposing one’s beliefs on others.  It’s put up with the dominant culture or shut up.

Oh, and I suppose I should have added #3:

3) You Christians are fearful and unwilling to engage with the culture, retreating to your own ghettos…for shame!
