The View seems to specialize in locating Christian squishes of this sort. They aren’t hard to find, of course, and the producers obviously knew going in that they’d hit a goldmine of squishiness with Lentz. All the Squish Indicators are noticeable here, and they’ve been helpfully summarized in the author’s bio for his new self-help book, “Own The Moment”:
When you think of a Christian pastor, you probably don’t envision a tattooed thirty-something who wears a motorcycle jacket, listens to hip-hop music, references The Walking Dead and Black Lives Matter in his sermons, and every Sunday draws a standing-room only crowd to a venue normally used for rock concerts.
Sadly, these days, that’s exactly what I envision.
Unsurprisingly, the tough guy in the motorcycle jacket proceeded to cower in the corner when questioned by Joy Behar. She didn’t have to exert much effort. Lentz disavowed the Gospel of Christ and betrayed the unborn without resistance or hesitation. All Behar had to do is ask a very simple and very straightforward and very, very, very easy question: “Is abortion a sin?”
The complex theological issue of child murder sent Lentz into a babbling panic. “That’s the kind of conversation we would have finding out your story, where you’re from, what you believe,” he stammered. “I mean, God’s the judge… People have to live to their own convictions… That’s such a broad question, to me, I’m going higher. I want to sit with somebody and say, ‘What do you believe?”
Lentz clarified that abortion is an open and shut case “to some people,” but, “me, I’m trying to teach people who Jesus is first, and find out their story. Before I start picking and choosing what I think is sin in your life, I’d like to know your name.”
One wonders if Lentz would be so circumspect in his answer had he been asked whether racism is a sin. What if Joy Behar inquired as to the sinfulness of joining the KKK? Would the good pastor have insisted that Klan members are merely “living their convictions” and we ought to get to know them and their story before we start “picking and choosing”?
