What I won't do to appeal to unbelievers...

...is mock other Christians. It'd be too dishonest for me to try to say, "Look, unbelievers, I too think the Body and Bride of Christ is ridiculous!" Do I criticize and critique the Christianity practiced by many? Clearly yes. Do I hate Christians who are mistaken or who don't comply with arbitrary social fashions ("Horrors! They don't watch a lot of cable TV or independent movies!"). I pray that I never do. Telling uncomfortable truths, constructively, is an action that I can advocate. I won't rhetorically cast out fellow brothers and sisters in order to better integrate with cliques that exalt sarcasm (of all things) as the ultimate intellectual technique.
