I'm reminded of the Book of Job. I'd always thought that it was a bit 'hard-hearted' the way God says basically, 'Just suck it in'. But one day I was thinking - what answer would I have WANTED God to make to Job? And the truth is, there are some situations where ANY answer just seems a blasphemy - perhaps that's the message of Job. And in the same way, I'm not sure that someone coming in and saying to that guy, "You want answers? Here it is. Just pray this prayer and God will definitely forgive you and you can leave your guilt behind." would have necessarily done the trick either. Some times you just have to be angry...

While I appreciate Brian McLaren and he has saved my faith in many ways, this was thought-provoking in a way you don't expect to see on prime-time television. I found this profound in so many ways.
