It's a question for atheists I suppose. Do we advocate for the religious to go to our side in one fell swoop, or do we tolerate a stepped or gradualist approach thru increasing impiety, more and more scripture cherry picking, an insidious slide to further and greater heresy, and creeping apostasy ?
It seems dishonest to me to offer solace and encouragement to folks with religious sensibilities to feel comfortable in a gradual erosion of their fealty to their professed belief in all their strictures, edicts, pronouncements, rules, laws, dogma and commandments while knowing I'm rejoicing in their gradual blasphemies and hoping they eventually get to where I am instead of just being honest with themselves and their (needing to be blown out their asses) God.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
