Jefferson Bethke's "Why I Hate Religion but Love the Church" went viral a few weeks ago and now has 18 million hits on YouTube. In the following link, Kevin DeYoung asked us to watch the video, then responded gently and critically.
In the follow-up post, with Bethke's permission, DeYoung posted some of the friendly exchanges between the two of them, highlighting Bethke's humble teachability.
As a testimony to how big this story has gotten, New York Times columnist David Brooks wrote the following column narrating the saga and drawing lessons from it. Note, Brooks is not a Christian, and some of his advice reflects that orientation. His description of the story is respectful, however. I link it mainly as a testimony to the publicity the story has received, as well as to give an outsider's view into our Christian interactions.
