I tried to make sense out of this.
Some undercover journalist collected a talk (on video)...where some Texas minister/pastor....was hyped-up and supporting the idea of atheists coming into the church....as members.
The end-point? Well...this was the pastor for Texas Senate candidate...James Talarico.
This would be like some meth-user joining a 'clean-lifestyle' social group, or like a far-extreme lefty pretending to be a Republican-conservative.
Course....if you dug into church membership....you'd likely find forty-percent of congregational membership....having ten-odd sin-habits and sneaking through the Jesus-lifestyle efforts (mostly failing).
Some church-folks might say this is acceptable because atheists will be converted over time (maybe a week....a month....a year).
After a long pondering....I came to this reality. There's probably 25-percent of church membership who are faking it anyway....for the past 2,000 years. They needed a 'club' to socialize within....a place to hang out on Sunday mornings....or perhaps felt that they'd meet some nice women/ladies at the church.
