Caner irony

Ergun Caner is irritated that young Southern Baptists feel themselves entitled to leadership without having done anything to earn it. Here is the core of his reported complaint:

"I think by and large, we have an entire generation of guys my age and younger, who inherited churches that run 2,000 [in membership] but have never grown a church that runs 2,000," Caner warns.

That gives them a sense of entitlement, asserts Caner. He says to go around "crowing" about something one did not have anything to do with, and saying "see what I've done," is ridiculous.

Interesting. Crowing about something you had nothing to do with is "ridiculous." Well, amen.

I wonder whether Ergun Caner voiced that complaint to his brother Emir Caner who, in the context of slandering Calvinists, once signed a comment "Elected because I selected." (Further comments on that, here.)

Yep, nasty thing, that — crowing about something you had nothing to do with, and saying "See what I've done."

Once again one hears the immortal words of Buck Murdock: "Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes."

Indeed.
