I don’t disagree with the sentiment, though the historical context makes the statement very different. The point wasn’t that you can only pray in private. The point was you can’t use apparent piety to increase your social collateral.

Doubtless, some of these people are only out there for exactly that reason. Others because they genuinely care and are deeply misguided in how best to demonstrate that concern.

They won’t accept historical context for anything they believe in. Why should this be any different?

  Because we should at least be consistent in our arguments even if they’re not. That’s why I’m saying anything at all.
