He was sick of God and God's religion, sick of all the little religious social clubs that didn't seem to make any real difference or affect any real changes.

More quotes by William P. Young
God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellect.
William P. Young
All I want from you is to trust me with what little you can, and grow in loving people around you with the same love I share with you. It's not your job to change them, or to convince them. You are free to love without an agenda.
William P. Young
We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.
William P. Young
I wrote a story for my kids. It's fiction. It's not systematic theology. It's not a new book of the Bible. It's flawed, I wrote it. All of that goes into the mix, but I love the controversy. It elevates the conversation.
William P. Young
Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.
William P. Young
I'm trying to get far away from [picturing God as] Gandalf or Santa Claus.
William P. Young
In some sense every parent does love their children. But some parents are too broken to love them well& others are barely able to love them at all.
William P. Young
I don't need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It's not my purpose to punish it it's my joy to cure it.
William P. Young
Disconnect your identity from what you produce, and that’s a hard thing for us because we think of our significance, worth and value based on what we do instead of who we are.
William P. Young
Love is not the limitation love is the flying.
William P. Young
Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
Through . . . lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. . . . Lies become an inhibitor in your relationship . . . .
William P. Young
those who are afraid of freedom are those who cannot trust us to live in them. Trying to keep the law is actually a declaration of independence, a way of keeping control
William P. Young
Thank goodness there are women in our lives -- that's all I can say. We get saved by the women in our lives.
William P. Young
Mackenzie, you cannot produce trust, just as you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not. Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved. Because you do not know that I love you, you cannot trust me.
William P. Young
True love never forces.
William P. Young
Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.
William P. Young
Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.
William P. Young
When you chose independence over relationship, you became a danger to one another. Others became objects to be manipulated or managed for your own happiness. Authority as you usually think of it, is merely the excues the strone ones use to make others conform to what they want.
William P. Young
