I think the likely answer is he treats "inerrancy" as a tribal boundary marker and hasn't thought about those kinds of questions.

My book "How to be Evangelical and Gay Affirming" is coming along. I'm mostly writing on the weekends when I have time. I anticipate it will be out in the fall.

Which is more credible: the world's leading scientific organizations and affiliations, or fundamentalist pastors posting videos on YouTube?

Evangelicals named themselves after the gospel (euangelion). So why are their illustrations of the gospel so terrible? My latest video:

If Putin landed in Europe, he'd be arrested for war crimes in the ICC. But in America, he gets the red carpet and a lickspittle potus shining his shoes. Despicable.

Fun fact: Donald Trump is the first president to invite a Russian dictator to a summit on American soil in order to deflect from his ties to the world's most notorious pedophile.

A lot of Christian apologists have contempt for the very skeptics, atheists, and religious nones that they profess to desire to reach. That's a toxic combination.

I don't disagree, but in fairness, transferring her to a cushy low security prison is already admitting his guilt.
