“So if you say you’re going to bring in Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality, subordinate to Scripture, you can damn well bet, Christians—damned well bet, like condemned, like damned, like y’all demons; if you’re doing this and you don’t get, you’re falling for a demonic trick—and I mean that,” Lindsay went on to say. “You can damned well bet that Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality are not intended…to stay subordinate to anything for very long. And it will in fact come to dominate—replace and dominate–that which is subordinating it.”
“This is an explicit and intentional act of heresy,” Lindsay argued. “The best that can possibly be said of any of the people who pushed this and brought it in…Al Mohler, Ed Stetzer, you want some more names? The best that can be said…is that they are too naïve for the position that they occupy, because they did not realize that they were bringing in a Marxist tool of domination meant to eventually subordinate Scripture.”
“There’s a lot worse that could be said about them,” Lindsay continued. “That they were intentional in what they did.”
Lindsay’s mention of Mohler seemed to contradict the fact that Mohler has been a vocal opponent to CRT. Mohler, who serves as president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, even hosted Lindsay on his podcast “Thinking in Public,” and referred to Lindsay’s work as an “intellectual tour de force.”
Ed Stetzer, who serves as Editor-in-Chief for Outreach Magazine, recently oversaw an article series on CRT for ChurchLeaders, which was contributed to by a number of authors with differing perspectives. (You can read the series here.)
Lindsay went on to argue that CRT will eventually become the religion of the SBC if not repudiated, and it will simply use religious language to prop up “woke ideology.”
Lindsay then said, “The question is, among the people who decided to bring this in, who knew that, and who was merely too naïve? And why are any of them still in positions of power. Why are any of them still being listened to? Why is any of that happening?”
“I would tell you, you need to get this out of the Convention. Get this out of your faith. Stop pussyfooting around with it. Stop pretending that you’re going to be able to keep societal acid in a container that’s designed to dissolve,” Lindsay said. “You must get this out of your churches. You must get this out of your convention. You must overturn all of this.”
“And you do this by finding the people who are bringing it in and defending it, holding them to account that requires naming who they are, identifying what they’ve done, trying to get them to repent and seeing if they do,” Lindsay said in conclusion. “But it also means…taking them out of the positions of power they abused in the first place.”
Though an atheist who has been known to refer to respected Christian leaders like Timothy Keller as demons on Twitter, Lindsay has nevertheless been a strange bedfellow for some conservative evangelicals who see CRT as a threat to their theology.
