Religion has its faults but your continual sweeping denunciation of it is no different than Lee's sweeping denunciation of "Christianity." It's an extreme view, and a damaging one. I think it's become a crutch for you. You are like a religion hating addict. So much so that you confuse healthy moral habits with religion. You confuse expecting people to honor their obligations with placing burdens on them. You confuse standards with legalism. You confuse lack of responsibility with freedom.
So write to John Myer directly, and tell him how disappointed you are in him for not keeping his promise to finish his book....

I thought some public urging was appropriate as well. Please excuse me if I threatened you by implying people should be held to some standard other than being free from "religion."

And the issue is not my disappointment. The issue is the book, in my opinion, needs to be completed, or at the very least the release date of the next chapter needs to be updated, or there needs to be an announcement made that the book is on hold.

Note that none of that has anything to do with allowing Myers to "wonder and wander." Not that he seems like the wondering, wandering kind anyway. He seems to know pretty much what he believes. He just left some people hanging on finishing his thoughts on what he believes and so placed his previous thoughts in question.
