“La Leche League and the What to Expect books are even explicit about this fear: the pacifier, they warn, cannot substitute for a mother. This is the rare piece of parenting wisdom that manages to be both condescending and confusing. Condescending because it seems unlikely that parents who were considering using a pacifier—parents diligent enough to look it up in a book—were also considering abandoning their child altogether. Confusing because, well—what? How would a pacifier substitute for a mother—how exactly? Are there pacifiers on the market that cuddle and feed and rock and dote on a child? Is a mother nothing more than a nipple?”

However, there are other times, after so many other things in life have let you down, the Bible seems like your only hope. But then you blow dust off a Bible tucked away on your shelf, turn a few pages, and quickly get overwhelmed. It seems like this huge unsolvable mystery that makes no sense whatsoever. You toss the Bible back onto the shelf.”
