This saddens but does not surprise me.
As I read Trad Christians, I constantly find the question recurring: How long can it be before they realize they have picked the wrong religion?
For some it is the monotheistic Omni-God who created everything from nothing; and who demands submission and obedience above anything else.
Such Christians can only find an essential and defining place for the work of Jesus Christ, by regarding him as a Trinitarian aspect of the One God: so that Jesus is asserted both to be, and not to be, simultaneously a unity with the Creator and a person separate.
But (for Trads) God's indivisible one-ness is always regarded as primary and foundational.
How much clearer, simpler - and more honest! - simply to assert the single, oneness of God!
(And regard Jesus Christ as ultimately-inessential.)
For other Trads; their most viscerally compelling wish is for a particular, hierarchical and patriarchal, relationship between men and women; here-and-now - in this mortal life and world.
This is a thing that some Trad Christians apparently desire more than anything else in the world (considering that they Never Stop writing about it).
Yet it is a situation that has never been implemented by Christianity as strongly or as thoroughly as by an already-existing and expanding other religion.
How long will it be before before the Trads abandon Christianity altogether; and join the existing major and growing world religion that already and unambiguously provides almost-exactly what they really most-want?
