Despite the saddening news of his loss of faith, I do commend him, as we all should.” No we should not. If he lost his faith in Christ, he was never a Christian to begin with. This is secular drivel.
I don’t commend his obvious interest in influencing as many as possible to go to hell with him.
He did not apostacize quietly. He seems to want company.
Not at all. The author is commending Harris for his intellectual honesty, not his unbelief. He could have followed the "progressive" Christians and dishonestly claimed the Bible doesn't say what it obviously says about God's design for human sexuality. Instead, he was honest and said he no longer believes the Bible.
