Yes. The Church Lady's hatred for Satan was funny, too. That didn't change the facts about Satan's existence, or his nature.

But you are right in another sense, John. The Community of Christ and those who beleive that the Restoration actually means something have absolutely no means of communicating. Ridicule is all that remains.

With the Neo-gnostics, Christians are back at exactly the same point the early Christian church was with the original gnostics. The original gnostics could come and worship in a Christian church, and proclaim belief in everything the Christians did, using the exact same terminology, but every word spoken in his testimony meant something entirely different to himself than it did to any of the Christians there. Nowhere is this in such stark relief as in the conflict between the Restorationists and the Communitarians participating in the institutional church.
