“When we turn the Bible into an adjective and stick it in front of another loaded word, we tend to ignore or downplay the parts of the Bible that don’t quite fit our preferences and presuppositions.

More often than not, we end up more committed to what we want the Bible to say than what it actually says.” WantEndsBeautifulTurnsForceVoiceFrontsFitHolySticksCommittedComplicatedListsToneCreedsDiverseBulletsPreferenceSimplifyLoadedAdjectivesManifestosCacophony Author:Rachel Held Evans

“Isn't atheism just another religion?' No, it isn't. Atheism has no creeds, rituals, holy book, absolute moral code, origin myth, sacred spaces or shrines.
