[quote=Anonymous]I don’t read the above responses as jealousy so much as anger and glee. Anger from the Christians, and glee from the agnostics/atheists. All the emotion directed at Jen is likely because she made a mockery out of traditional Christian beliefs by teaching them enthusiastically for years (and getting rich off of doing so) until one day she just decided that simply because her daughter is gay, those beliefs can be tossed in the trash. Of course that makes people gleeful who want to see Christ followers fail. And of course it makes Christ-followers angry when they’re watching someone confuse other people who are striving to understand scripture. I say confuse rather than mislead, because it’s misleading if she knows it’s wrong and says it anyway. It’s confusing if she’s sitting on information or interpretations that helped her understand things differently but refuses to share with others. I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that she did thorough research and is just not sharing for some reason—therefore confusing others. Does the average person need to explain themselves? No. Does someone whose career is built on guiding hundreds of thousands of hearts into heaven or hell? Yes. For the Christians, being a “stumbling block” to others is sort of a big deal…well, you know, if you still believe scripture is truth. Not sure what anyone would be jealous of though…? Her crash-and-burn failed marriage? Her weird image-controlled relationships with her kids and friends? Her obsession with beauty products and shilling and desperation to appear young and hip and in-the-know? Her hatefulness toward entire groups of people just because they disagree with her? Her desperate obsession with a guy who shows no passion towards her at all? Her tour ticket sales (or rather lack of)? And on and on. Don’t call people jealous. The people here seem disgusted/frustrated/sad because of what she’s done to the Christian community who supported her. Or they seem delighted at how she’s leading masses away from the Lord. Neither side seems jealous.[/quote]
