Christians should seek no apology from Barkley. Criticism of religious persons goes back to Plato’s days and beyond. It’s part of the territory. And, for what its worth, I have met many fake christians myself.
Instead of indignant press remarks, ask Charles to amplify his remarks and be specific about his targets and reasons. His hiding behind generalizations is cowardly. Let him speak his mind, identify his targets and open himself to the proper criticism.
How do you do that? Get him to open up?
