“When we sit as judges over God's rules, we make ourselves God. We say, 'I will be the one to determine if this is right. I am smart enough, trustworthy enough, to do so. I have what it takes to determine if this is a good rule or not.' ...we make it only about the law itself because we have no relationship with whoever installed it. But God's laws...are like the words of a good parent. To go against a good parent when you're a child in their house is not just about an action, but about breaking trust between people.” — Rachel Gilson
