It isn’t a whitewash because the cover isn’t white. It’s more like a “dirty gray wash” that simply makes everything worse.
"Our task today is to tell people — who no longer know what sin is...no longer see themselves as sinners, and no longer have room for these categories — that Christ died for sins of which they do not think they’re guilty." - David Wells
