Richard Lawson lets loose about the minister father exploiting his kid for a book and movie deal. A touchy reader sounds off in the comments, and Richard retorts...

"'people, religious and non-religious, are used to religion having a privileged place in discourse where it's perceived as impolite to criticize it.'

You know what? Thank you for that. Because yes to that. For some reason it's OK to decry the "gay lifestyle" and other such red-herringry to the high heavens, but it's culturally taboo to say that complete nonsense stories about magic zombie ghosts are ridiculous. And I'm sick of that. So thanks for seeing the dumb taboo and saying it's OK to flout. Religion deserves to be mocked. Unlike other things, it's a choice, and an embarrassing one at that."

1. "Unlike other things, it's a choice, and an embarrassing one at that."

Exactly.

2. Not Zac Efron. Not blond and blue-eyed enough.

I had my own NDE as I wrote in an OP here a bit ago. Neural misfirings in the brain is all they are. Quite a bit overwhelming, but all his dad is doing is raising him to believe in what was essentially a pychotic break with reality secondary to faulty electrical discharges going on in an oxygen depleted brain. Sad. What a terrible exploitation of a poor little boy.
