“The irony here is that their voice will necessarily matter progressively less as time goes on, because the average person will ultimately be unable to distinguish what CT thinks from what the world in general believes.” Bitter irony, indeed. Like a snake eating it’s own tale is the one who fears men. They’ve plagued their own thinking with “what will we be known for?” theology and like any sin, it’s self-devouring. Rigney calls this- what many of us can do and what CT is doing- “image management” and pretty soon what you’re known for is being obsessed with what you’re known for. The lack of substance and the pandering will of course continue to hurt them. In an attempt to stay relevant, they’ll continue to become irrelevant.
