“ah,the outdoors," Shallan said. "I visited that mythical place once. It was so very long ago, I've nearly forgotten it. Tell me, does the sun still shine, or is that just my dreamy recollection'

“For Christians, the ultimate historical struggle between conservatives and progressives is the struggle between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders of his day. The conservative, intransigent religious establishment loathed and feared Jesus partly because he reinterpreted everything in both scripture and tradition through the lens of himself as the Christ, the unique and pre-existent Son of God. This seemed the outer limit of heresy. I absolutely sympathize with the conservatives, for Jesus was right when he said from the cross, “Father, forgive them; they don’t know what they do.” They did not know. They thought their hatred was pleasing to God. They thought their rejection of Jesus would keep society rightly ordered. They were definitely on the side of scripture as interpreted by their tradition, but we can see that scripture had been incorrectly appropriated by skewed tradition.”
