If you know that every word coming out of his mouth is something he doesn't believe, then why listen? It absolutely baffles me.
You are making assumptions on what he is actually "preaching" Chappy.
Check this out, from his last sermon posted online:
Emily Dickenson said the only commandment of Jesus that she could be sure to keep was this one: “Consider the birds.” She could do that. She could be attentive, amazed and enthralled by birds. The via positiva.Not hardly a Christian sermon.If we are going to do any good for our species and for Earth, we must have a healthy, active and practicing via positiva. Spend a few moments each day and be amazed. Fyodor Doestoyevsky, for whom we named one of our dogs penned this in his novel, The Brothers Karamazov:
“Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal.”
The via positiva is an exuberant love for life, for others, for self. One of my favorite hymns is in the Unitarian hymnal. It expresses the via positiva:
Just as long as I have breath, I must answer “Yes” to life.
Joseph Campbell, the great mythologist, wanted to imagine the first self-conscious thought. When did self-consciousness arise? I don’t know. Maybe hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps even a million years ago, at some time deep in our past, one of our ancestors had the first self-conscious thought.
