“Anytime the Bible is used to justify the oppression and exploitation of others, we have strayed far from the God who brought the people of Israel out of Egypt, “out of the land of slavery” (Exodus 20:2).”
― Rachel Held Evans, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again

“There I was, talking about God, even quoting the Bible, hitting the ball back and forth with a great mind. It wasn’t awkward, or gross. It was joyful, and fun. And for the first time: I wasn’t fucking ashamed.”
― Pete Holmes, Comedy Sex God

“My literal belief in the Bible wasn’t saving me, showing me the light, or setting me free. It was causing me pain.”
― Pete Holmes, Comedy Sex God

“We are, as many of my Lutheran friends would put it, Saints who sometimes sin. We contain multitudes and somehow are both at the same time. But where I place my primary identity, I believe, makes all the difference with how I interact with the world.”
― Kevin Garcia, Bad Theology Kills: Undoing Toxic Belief & Reclaiming Your Spiritual Authority

“It is a fundamental misunderstanding of Genesis,” wrote Peter Enns, “to expect it to answer questions generated by a modern worldview, such as whether the days were literal or figurative, or whether the days of creation can be lined up with modern science, or whether the flood was local or universal. The question that Genesis is prepared to answer is whether Yahweh, the God of Israel, is worthy of worship.”2”
― Rachel Held Evans, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again
