Andrew, I do believe your point is well-stated in that perhaps the important thing for us is “telling the story” without getting it lost between the lines; that is what has been happening forever in Christianity, with dogmatism winning at the expense of meaning and beauty.

I also advise ignoring critics such as the one you linked to, not because we are above them, but because we should not allow them to set our agenda and sway us from our path and journey. Your time (and mine) would be much better spent on developing and learning this thing that we are working on, rather than answering every question raised by every critic out there.
