What are we to make of this first sentence? She's a Christian speaker, who is not religious?? If she's a Christian, why does she want to instigate conflict with other Christians?
All Christians are Christians...All religious people are not Christians...
She sounds like a witch with a bee.
I searched the rest of the thread so far and found post #56, where sasportas wrote,
Meyer is a charismatic. Charismatics, for as long as I can remember, abominated anything that smacked of “doctrine.” They said of those who held to certain doctrines of Christianity, their doctrines were “religious.” This is what Meyer means when she speaks against those who are “religious.”SNIP--
All Meyers is doing is just including tattoos in with what charismatics call “religious,” or “doctrine.” “Religious” is a code word to them, you have to know what they mean by it.
I am not very familiar with those who call themselves charismatics, but there exists a strain within the evangelical world that uses "religion," "religious," and the like as dirty words. (For example, some people will insist that they don't have a "religion" but a "relationship with Jesus.") I can see a germ of truth within that idea, but this usage twists the ordinary usage of the word in a number of ways that sow confusion and cause non-believers to mock those "non-religious" religious people.
