You'd be better asking them
But be prepared for semantic nit-picking and evasion on questions about things that are doctrinally key yet utterly implausible like the resurrection.
They'll happily throw creationism et al under the bus because there's a handy "allegorical" bolt-hole to explain it away. But the divinity, centrality and immortality of Jesus are tougher to jettison and remain even nominally Christian, so passive-aggressive hairsplitting is the norm.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
