This article continues the Peter Bell/Sons of Patriarchy saga. If you’re new to it, you’ll probably want to read this, this, and this first.

Another week, another apostate uncritically interviewed (this time Eric Skwarczynski of the Preacher Boys podcast, who started out opposing abuse among the IFB but has deconstructed). Not only this, but Peter introduced him as one "like-minded." Not a Christian? No problem as long as you're with us in our crusade. Almost like anti-abuse becomes its own religion...

One thing that is interesting about this interview is that Eric at times asks Peter questions and some interesting answers are offered. Around the 45 minute mark Peter says he still holds to "some" of the core Christian tenets (which ones, and which ones are missing?) Around 54:00 Peter admits something that I noted in my article, he conceals his church information to avoid charges of sin.

He also seems to offer two different origin stories of SOP, one around his internship in Washington and another around the Examining Doug Wilson group (the former being around the 18:00 mark and the latter around 49:00).

Many won't like hearing this, but atheism and apostasy are worse than abuse. The latter kills the body, the former kills body and soul in hell. There's no righteousness in an anti-abuse struggle that treats atheism, apostasy, "deconstruction," etc. as acceptable outcomes. There will be many in heaven who abused and were abused. But there will be none who would not have God as their God.
