I almost feel your reply is a bit smug and arrogant Lance.

" We who were raised in ignorance of the fullness of what Christianity
really is, historically, universally"

And that makes someone like me just an ignorant schlub?  Is your belief that
you are on the best path to god any better than an evangelical?

I may be reading you wrong, and if so I apologize.

Some of the lunacy that evangelical right at large have come to believe has
been a result of his parents.  Seeing their son dispute that with vigor is
encouraging to many ex-evangelicals (like me) who's beliefs are a direct
result of generations of similar ancestors.  We who were raised in ignorance
of the fullness of what Christianity really is, historically, universally.
In some cases (like mine) this can be chalked up to ignorance, generations
of minimally educated but  
sincere people trying to find God navigating revivalists fads and   
fearmongering preachers.  It is truly a miracle they didn't cast off God
altogether (although many did).  But in the case of educated leaders, there
is no excuse.  And they deserve none, for leading American Christians about
as far away from authentic Christianity as Christendom has ever seen.
