Janko seems to think that the American Evangelical Christian Churches (AECC) is a crap outfit at Degreediscussion:

Necessarily, you don't know what I've said to Jimmy about the AECC in private. You and I disagree over whether this is "backsliding" on Jimmy's part; you think it is and I don't. Since I believe he has changed, I believe that your retailing of his stuff from years ago was wrong. I do agree with you that AECC is a crap outfit and I told Jimmy so from the git-go. I advised him on this thread that if he were to proceed, he should do so without letting his name be used by these people.
Jimmy also has accepted Bill Grover's rigour challenge; since Bill is a better scholar than either you or I, Bill can hold Jimmy's feet to the fire better than you or I can do.
You have a longstanding bias to knock Christian stuff. (I don't really regard stuff like AECC as Christian at all, only nominally and that by social default alone.) I have very carefully said that biases--yours, mine, whosever--are NO reason to disregard substantive criticisms. Nobody is unbiassed. Period. I did NOT call you names and had no suppressed inclination to do so.
Peter's sermonising is not mine, as you know and as you distinguished. Thank you for that.
Kind regards,
Janko

I realize that the Pope thinks I'm going to hell but I know the Pope is going to hell but I don't go out of my way to antagonize Catholics (until now). Why would Janko assume that his odd brand of Lutheranism is the only true way and another church is only a nominally Christian crap oufit? What's wrong with the guy's head? Is this position approved by his own crap outfit church?
