Disagreeing with other Christians online is a bit like
pulling off a Band-Aid® stuck to the hairiest part of your arm.
There is what I call the “Big BUT” disagreement. This kind
starts slowly, with a spate of complimentary disclaimers — “Now,
I love this Bible teacher, he’s a great guy and I admire him
immensely” — and always ends with a great big “BUT ...”
Or there’s the exquisitely self-effacing “We’re All Just Learning
Here” disagreement, which makes every biblical issue a matter of opinion and gives
you a convenient way of escaping with a few shreds of dignity intact if it
turns out everyone thinks its your
interpretation that’s out to lunch.
