Fair enough.

EDIT (cause I'm too damn dumb to leave well enough alone): I guess what surprises me about this is how quick people are to condemn the family without having heard their side of it. And I can understand how the family would be in batten-down-the-hatches mode, given the national spotlight they're suddenly in.

Maybe it's just that I'm not automatically pro-church that I'm not instantly shocked and suspicious about this. I hope I'm not too automatically anti-church either--I just know that a church is an institution made up of well-meaning but human human beings, and I don't grant it any automatic passes just because it's got a cross and a steeple. I've seen churches make real differences in people's lives, and I've seen churches do some stupid things.

I believe Jesus would have been happy for the family, and wished them well in their new live in New Orleans. :shrug: I dunno. This whole thing seems to me like a lot of hubbub over not very much. Which is also how this thread seems to me (now that I've posted in it a dozen times and stirred up a whole bunch of mess... ).
