This guy really doesn't understand the difference between his buffoonery and what Bonhoeffer meant by "religionless Christianity."
By definition, the uncomprehending religious liberals who try to claim Bonhoffer don't understand him; if they did, they'd condemn him instead of trying to claim him! Bonhoeffer was not endorsing unbelief!
But then, why should their incomprehension be surprising? The empty, bankrupt liberal "Christian" tradition has been embracing theological words while denying their meaning for decades.
Bottom line: there is a vast difference between following Christ without necessarily becoming obsessed with churchmanship, and simply igoring Christ while continuing to call oneself a Christian. And no a mount of buffoonery will lessen that difference
Shhh! Don't tell the mainline churches! It would upset them, the dears- at least as long as it took them to remind themselves that neither words nor ideas mean a thing as long as they serve their own self-chosen and ever-changing agenda.
