I used love like money, but love doesn't work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love it's enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more.

When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down.
