I've noted this before, I consider the cafeteria movement to be strong allies with atheism.
Consider, a particular religious person already does not believe in all the other religions, and if we do even a cursory test of sincerity of belief on that person, we are going to find they don't buy into maybe 90% of the crap in Scriptures. My favorite example would be remarriage following divorce.
Is your average pew sitter even aware, seriously, even remotely aware the practice is forbidden specifically by Christ ?? Damn few if any preachers ever bring it up. Many of those preachers are themselves, divorced and remarried. How can a congregation have a particle of assurance of salvation under such outrageously sinful saturation ?
WTF ?? And that's just one edict. What of all the other scripture on the 'don't bother me with that list' ??
How do we consider them not to be fellow travellers with mainline atheism ?? I'd assert that not only is atheism winning, we are already the dominant leader in the category.
Be honest Christians, you're already 99% on board with us, another 1% isn't going to put you any deeper in the lake of fire.
