I wonder what God thinks of your throwing rocks at their Christianity.

Actually, that's not true. I don't wonder what God thinks about it.

A lot of people have invested their lives in an extreme form of pre-millenialism that denies the gospel any power anwhere other than between the ears of the individual believer. Frequently failures in their own lives, such folks can only take a sour satisfaction in selected factoids that reinforce their sense of being spectators at history's train wreck. Like the drawrves in C. S. Lewis's book The Last Battle, they are blind to wonders of grace all around them. Immune to good news of God's gracious interventions. Convinced that wholesome fare is stable dung.

Perhaps so.

Not my experience to run into many of those folks for some reason.

I don't even cater to naysayers on my side of the theological spectrum.
