"Some orthodox Christians are calling "The Shack" heresy. On his radio program in April, Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said it was "subversive" and "incoherent." Concerned that "The Shack" might adversely influence readers, LifeWay Christian Stores, the Southern Baptist Convention's bookstore chain, in June pulled "The Shack" off shelves to review its theology. Two weeks later the books were for sale again, this time with a warning label that says READ WIT'H DISCRETION. A LifeWay spokeswoman says she expects "The Shack" to be high on its best-seller list for August." Excerpt from http://www.newsweek.com/id/156370
Do you know what realy pisses me off? No, it's not the fact that another wackhead writes about his close encounter with God, but that people like Mohler and those idiots from the SBC, or as the article herein identifies as "orthodox christians (lmao)," have the audacity to deem views as heretical and yet still fatten their pockets by making money off books that propound them.

To express ire over this article is definitely warranted. To deem something "subversive" and "incoherent" because of its heretical content and then to slap a "read with discretion" sticker two weeks later at one's bookstore is clearly an endorsement of this book by this pseudo, so-called "orthodox" bookstore. Spineless!
