The first sentence is incomplete and needs this part added at the end of it..."can be helpful when specific and honest." I suppose at the end of the second paragraph I could also add "RM reminds me of the Jimmy Carter sort of blame America first motiff only blaming Christians first." It gets over used and I think not infrequently the soft soap gets seen through more than the marshmellows know." OK, I'll try not to self-edit anymore. (-: oops, that was a rush blog post.

This can build trust and communicate a certain level of teachable-ness that we would love to see reciprocated. But the blanket 'evangelicals' and the 'have done' and the generalized confession of this particular spin strikes me as 1st of all overblown, 2nd of all potentially seen as insincere because it is rather vague, and 3rd of all not particularly helpful or truthful. Don, your response is so much more enlightening, revealing, truthful, helpful, honest and frankly engaging as well. Keep up the good word and work on your cool blog.
