I agree however the problem is that you can probably find someone claiming to be Christian that lives as a "pawn for the gods". That kind of legalism slips into peoples lives. Especially the kind of people that are not fully convinced but go along for other reasons. Often these people become strong champions against Christianity, as it's a pretty horrible way to live. If you think that is the way Christianity is supposed to be it's no wonder you'd try to prevent others from living that way. Her statement: "They could bring logic and the scientific method to bear and actually fix things that were bad, wrong, or deadly. That is our inheritance, and a priceless one at that. We were given tools, not answers. But those tools, when properly deployed, transform human lives." Lines up with the Christian purpose for people: "God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." But we all misunderstand each other all the time. I'm sure I don't fully understand the authors beliefs. I'd love for her to meet some "Christian nationalists" to find out what they really want. I think we all have more common ground than most realize. It's a shame things have become so tribal.
