“If you're going to live in a community, you have to refrain from killing one another and stealing from one another. You must have honor and honesty in your dealings with one another. But I think the deeper thing that we need to do is to become so fully human that we don't grasp at life; we give life away. We give love away. We give being away. That is the ultimate work of religion.” IfsThinkingNeedsGivingHumansCommunityHonestyHonorUltimateKillingDeeperStealingRefrainDealings Author:John Shelby Spong

We still need feminism, it's just not as easy for people - especially people in an incredibly privileged country like America - to always see that.” PeopleCountryEasyViolenceFeminismHonorEqualFemaleKillingAccomplishedConsideration Author:Julie Zeilinger
