YECs not xtian according to James McGrath
I cam across an article titled, Christianity or Young Earth Creationism? Time to Choose by James McGrath;

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/exploringou...hoose.html

The gist of the article is that Christianity and YECism are not compatible. He considers YEC to be a cult and urges Christians to abandon it like they did slavery.

Here is a quote from the article:

Quote:When everyone but your own tiny group in a relatively recent time in history is considered to have gotten it wrong, and you are sure that you have at last got it right, you can be fairly confident that you are in a cult that has deceived you.

That, I agree with 100%

McGrath is a progressive Christian. I wonder how many of the xtians around here would support McGrath in what he had to say on the subject.

His comments are mostly positive. Some claim he's wrong. Some say that he's very wrong because -- Hitler.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- don't pollute it with bullshit.
