One can only wonder where they are getting their information from. Heaven forbid that the God who Created the universe and all that exists not have a "god complex" or "mansplain" (Godsplain). This sounds like the sort of nonsense that Dan would latch on to.

Good golly! How about explaining to kids what Christianity is all about and how their perspective is so horribly flawed? That's what adults are supposed to provide for kids on ALL subjects, and no subject is more important than their relationship to God.
Yeah...this sounds like a Jeff St program. It sounds that stupid.
I looked briefly at the last two non-"X" sources. What exactly has you all emotional and bewildered? That they're asking young adults what they're thinking about God and biblical texts?
"exploring how young people understand and respond to the Christian story."
THAT is a bad thing or problematic somehow? Where WHO is getting WHAT information from?
Are you suggesting that these young people are reading the Bible and reaching conclusions you personally happen to disagree with, and THAT is a problem?
What information?
Truly, sir, you speak in vague inanities and you'd be a better communicator if, you know, you wrote to communicate.
Ahhhhh that deep, intentional, well considered study we’ve come to accept from you,
What I found interesting was their apparent problem with God having a “God complex” and Jesus “mansplaining”.
Their information about YHWH and Jesus, you idiot.
FYI, the “non X sources” are the literal freaking study referred to in the first link. I took pity on you and spoon fed them to you because otherwise you’d bitch and whine. Of course you did that anyway.
Well, Dan’s got nothing because he’s already defaulted to blaming me.
Because clearly YHWH should accommodate their misconceptions.

Well, see! You CAN do it. There you go!
Craig...
"What I found interesting was their apparent problem with God having a “God complex” and Jesus “mansplaining”."
Sooo... it "appears" (to you) that the young adults involved have an "apparent" perception that biblical texts (or maybe even human interpretations of those texts present a god as having a god complex.
And those young adults reaching a conclusion like that, "apparently " (to you) is a problem because... why? It seems they were just reading the biblical texts, right? And getting their information from that text, right?
If I find time, I'll see if I can read more, but it sounds more like a problem for tradionalists with fragile egos than any problem with those involved.
I only did it because you’d be too lazy to do it yourself. Not to mention how many times I went to the trouble of finding stories from sources that met your arbitrary standard. What I learned is that the source doesn’t matter, you just need an excuse.
The problem with the whole thing is the fact that they find it offensive that YHWH (ie God) would have a “God complex”. Of course YHWH has a himself complex. That a bunch of kids think that redefining YHWH and Jesus to fit 21st century norms and stereotypes is quite arrogant.
The notion of Jesus authoritatively teaching as mere “mansplaining” is likewise shoving the Historical Jesus in a 21st century liberal box.
I’m sure you’ll find things to defend and laud because you’re cut from a similar cloth.

Dan seems to be confused by something.
My blog, my posts, my rules. If he’s curious, he should be smart enough to do his own research. I am not obliged to post what he wants, using the arbitrary sources he wants, it to answer the way he wants. I choose grace in giving him virtual free rein to post almost any foolish garbage that he wants. But that doesn’t mean I have to indulge his every whim.
