I believe that God is love. I believe that Jesus came to show us this love, to give us this love, to teach us about this love, so that we could live in this love and extend it to others.

A lot of Christians have been taught a story that begins in chapter 3 of Genesis, instead of chapter 1.

So Jesus is seen as primarily dealing with our sins.

I believe God gives people the right to say no, to resist, to refuse, to reject, to cling to their sins, to cling to their version of their story.

It takes quite a spine to turn the other cheek. It takes phenomenal fortitude to love your enemy. It takes firm resolve to pray for those who persecute you. (with reference to Matthew 5)

Look at the size of the universe and look at what we're discovering about string theory. There's a wide-eyed sense of we're just getting started here.
