The Easter Story

[William Schryver]

OK, here's my final word on the derail:

DB:

… he and unknown others are watching and will destroy my professional opportunities …

… public accusations of the power to end my career …

???

I can see you’ve quite effortlessly adopted the GSTP practice of fabricating offenses out of whole cloth.

Your recently manifest propensity for misrepresentation of your perceived opponents’ statements is a poor reflection on you. If your reputation in the larger circle of LDS scholars and apologists suffers accordingly, it won’t be consequent to anything I have ever said or done.

Look at the bright side, though: you are probably the single most popular living Mormon—even more than John Dehlin—among the apostate evangelists in The Great and Spacious Trailer Park©. That’s gotta count for something.

What a bizarre turn of events …

I stand corrected he can post.

My career won't suffer, Will. Institute teacher at Harvard and MIT, LDS Chaplain at Harvard, Institute curriculum writer, part-time instructor in BYU's Ancient Scripture, etc. So despite your efforts, I'm pretty safe. And again, if adopting your approach is what it takes to succeed further then I will simply move to a secular college position. Trust me, I've already had offers, so there's nothing you and the "others" can do to limit my career. Given the way I and "other" LDS scholars view LDS apologetics, I hope you're right that my reputation has suffered among your group. I will be contacting FAIR, etc. asking them to remove my lectures, etc. from their videos, sites, etc.

Goodbye to all,

Are you still blogging? I've enjoyed our conversations so much ~ I'd hate to lose touch.

So, notwithstanding my repeated denials of your misrepresentation of my words, you insist on continuing to promote that misrepresentation.

So be it.

Incidentally, I am not a FAIR member. I have not been since before I presented at their conference last year. I have no association with FAIR.
