Having read the rest of the thread, and your several comments, I think we simply come at this from wildly different places.

You appear to be viewing him through the lens of how good a Christian he is. Totally OK by me, but I don't tend to judge songwriters that way.

You're correct in the first paragraph of your post, but the second paragraph shows a misunderstanding.

I'm far from a perfect example of a Christian, so that's not the issue at all. The fact that he pretended to be a Christian for awhile, almost all the while carrying on as he always had, then later denying Christ, is what I am standing oppposed to.

Many people still refer to Dylan as a Christian, in spite of his denial. Even your statement, "You appear to be viewing him through the lens of how good a Christian he is," appears to be assuming he is a Christian.

I decided a long time ago to not buy anything of his. That should be no big deal to anyone here, and it's a little puzzling that it should matter to anyone. If I had made any statements that were not true, you would be countering them with the truth. Since nobody here has done so, I suspect that my statements about him are true.

(I didn't hear anybody dispute my comment about the burnt coffee at Starbucks either. ;-) )
