nytimes has a feature on Mark Driscoll

Driscoll fills me with rage in a visceral way that even Focus on the Family can't touch. especially because he's spewing his misogynist crap from his stronghold in my neighborhood. (fun. as an example, i was going to link his classic blog post about how Ted Haggard wouldn't have been doing a male prostitute if his wife hadn't let herself go, but it's mysteriously been taken down. thank goodness for other christians who don't care about copyright.)

therefore, i'm amused that what is upsetting me the most after reading the article is that an avowed Calvinist would talk about how much he admires Martin Luther.

I quite agree

So much in life is approached a la carte. People who approach religion as a "Choose Your Own Adventure," and then when you call them on it, they say, "Well, I'm not into organized religion," or, sometimes, "I believe in Jesus's essential message, not in how the patriarchal church perverted it"

I guess all I should say is, "If it feels good, do it."
