It's an honest position, I'd say. "This shit is confusing, I'm not qualified to comment officially (but I am qualified to opine)" - sort of thing.
I want to mention here, if anyone is having an anuerism over seeing me actually defend a religious institution - that I have always felt that religion could be -done- in such a way as to leave me with no objections beyond the theoretical. Don't worry, I'm still ready to stab a fucking priest for the good of all mankind.
