Re: A hypothetical question
(Anonymous) 2014-03-29 12:07 am (UTC)(link)I am a believer, and as I answered the anon above, no, I'm not curious. Both of the examples you cite speak for themselves. Trust me, Godcorp's CEO ain't in it for the spiritual power of the magic green hankies he's pushing on late-night TV. As for the "best-selling atheist who secretly believes in God" in my tradition, belief or unbelief of others is irrelevant; we don't ask what people believe, nor even if they believe, nor do we tell others we are believers; rather, we observe what people do. (And pray constantly that what we do, reflects well, instead of poorly, on the faith in general.)
The other issue that immediately presents itself to my mind is, what if you happen to be interacting with someone who is having a moment of spiritual weakness? Or a terrible crisis of faith? You would walk away thinking they are terrible hypocrites (and you would, perhaps, treat them as such), when really, they've only just temporarily lost their way.
