Randy McRoberts
Randy McRoberts doesn't like labels. He is Arminian, Wesleyan, libertarian, postmodern, postevangelical, postconservative, postapocalyptic, preterist, realist, and a Libra. He likes to study the Bible and teach others to do the same. He likes to shoot guns, eat food, play golf, and read books. He loves his God, his family, and his church. He ought to be an elbow-patched professor of Greek New Testament at a small midwestern liberal arts college, but instead he is a chemist in the much-maligned pharmaceutical industry. He is just trying to keep us all alive, that's all. He is one of the few teetotalers to walk through the door of the Boarshead Tavern, but he is oft drunken from inhaling the fumes. He thinks being drunken in the Tavern is the best feeling in the world. Randy is probably the oldest fellow, and the least serious.

The only humility I see in the neo-reformed bunch is false humility. Is that what the book is about?
Randy McRoberts writes:
With qualifications, books are for book lovers and ebooks are for book readers. I am both and I use both. There is absolutely no arguing with the ability to carry hundreds or thousands of books with you. There is also no argument against the tactile and olfactory pleasure of a real book.

I’m pretty sure I’m not the one who is baiting someone. I’m no longer surprised when the symbols of the church are used inappropriately. I’m no longer surprised when fundamentalist Christians confuse their faith with their patriotism. I guess I’ll sigh along with you, if that’s what you want. Also, one man’s torture is another [...]

I guess I’m not sure what you want me to take away from your Spin article, Chris. Using loud music and other discomforts is, I’m led to believe, a common way to soften up those being interrogated. Playing loud music and depriving people of comfortable sleep isn’t torture, is it? Are you sighing about Christians supporting [...]

Josh, you have shared a ton of profound insights over the years, but this one about the humanity of our personal heroes is really top notch. And well said, too. When I despair for the church — which is often — it helps to know there are young folks with heads on straight. I’m glad [...]

See, dude, your pastor already did that “thinking through” so you don’t have to. You get it easy. All you have to do is submit. You wouldn’t understand unless you were ordained.

My estimate of 99% was not meant as an endorsement of the majority opinion. I don’t know what I think about Mr. Obama’s faith because I haven’t taken the time to investigate it. Because I really don’t care. We don’t hire a president for his set of abilities, not for his faith. His set of [...]

Who the heck is Shaun King? Driscoll is not known for tact, is he? I’d bet, though, that 99% of evangelicals would agree with him.

I think I figured out why I love the posts of Fearsome Pirate and most others are put off by them.
