I'm glad that this didn't turn into religion-bashing. I for one, have heard that Mars Hill is cultish and not at all as liberal as they'd like people to believe. BUT, I have not been to said church.
My problem with religion a lot of the times (and I grew up in a Texas Southern Baptist home) is that often devout Christians are anything but "Christian". It's a sad state of affairs, and gives a bad name to decent practicing Christians. That being said, I do not consider myself religious in any way. Being from that background though I feel the need to defend and explain sometimes.
And I think it's great that Jon is standing up for himself here. Go Jon!
