Quotes by Mary Jo Sharp  (?)

“Inside the church community, I find inconsistency between the profession that humanity is fallen and the cautionary practices that should result from such a belief. For example, we don’t pay enough attention to the problem of a fallen mind—the idea that what I believe is probably wrong much of the time. I do find, rather, many people who are easily offended if anything is stated contrary to their way of thinking.”
Mary Jo Sharp, Why I Still Believe: A Former Atheist's Reckoning with the Bad Reputation Christians Give a Good God

“I know I’m more than a blob of atoms. I know that I matter more than matter. I see how my immaterial attitudes and thoughts affect my surroundings all the time.”
Mary Jo Sharp, Why I Still Believe: A Former Atheist's Reckoning with the Bad Reputation Christians Give a Good God

“The atheist “book of ski instructions” is a massive book full of rationalizations about why humans don’t need ski instructions; they just need to try their best to be good at skiing.”
