When you say it doesn't pass the common sense test, it makes me think you haven't every really been part of a tight knit church community. When you put roots down in a community of any sort, over time you get to know alot of the people. Some are angels and some are devils. Some are diplomatic and others are those crazy people that you put up with because they are part of the community. And then most are people just like you and me that say things we agree with and sometimes slip into rhetoric that we simply can't identify with. But the bottom line is that this community becomes an extension of your family. The roots become deep over time. Too deep to sever. So if one of those in the community, even one who is seen as a leader, says things that you don't agree with, do you uproot from your community? No. Most people simply wouldn't do that. It would be like repudiating your family. Only very jaded politicians would repudiate their family. My family members have at times done things I found reprehensible, but I'd never turn my back on them. So does it pass the common sense test? Absolutely. It's human nature.
