These "intellectuals" present a more or less united front to the public. They are eminently respected men in their fields. The problem is, their public pronouncements regarding religion in general and Christianity in particular have nothing to do with their particular field of expertise. Does anybody believe that a Richard Dawkins knows anything at all of consequence about Christian theology? Or Christopher Hitchens? Daniel Dennett? Yet listen to them bawl.... Big public blowhards, if you ask me. But they help shape the climate of opinion which in turn helps shape the "thinking" of the educated ignoramuses who read their books and articles, watch their interviews, take their classes, etc.

Precisely so. And I expect the boards that hire likes of Singer will be held to account in the next life.

Thank you so much for your wonderful essay-post, dearest sister in Christ!

If there is justice in heaven and earth — and I do believe there is — then they will be held to account.

God have mercy on their souls.
