I love the world the Lord has created I love the mountains, the rivers, the valleys, the skies. I love the forests, the fields, the flowers. I love the mysteries of evolution and dna and the big bang. I want to know the majesties of the Lord's Creation. I cannot close my eyes to all this. I cannot turn away from science and scientific exploration.

I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.

Then, are you master of us all? You didn't teach her that. Was she supposed to imbibe it from my quiet subservience?

It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words.
