“Ask THEM the question—the people, the human beings who were treated as litter by evangelical leaders and institutions on a crusade for religious, social, and political power, a quest that wrecked their souls and their sanity. Spend three days with those wounded, joyful thrivers, those who were kicked out, fled, crawled out, or backed slowly out the rear door. Those who are hanging around the edges for dear life, those deconstructing and reconstructing their lives, those who are still haunted by nightmares of heresy trials, purity culture, and rapture fears. Go ask them if there’s any good in evangelicalism.”
― Sarah McCammon, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church

“It felt like the world had divided into two different types of people, those who had felt pain and those who had yet to.”

“Howard thinks the rejection of science, combined with apocalyptic beliefs about the future of the world, has real consequences, not only for what evangelicals believe but for how they take care of the Earth. “When you’re taught that science is basically a fairy tale, and you’re taught not to trust scientists, then why would you care if the world is burning around us?” Howard said. “It’s about this heavenly battle, and it’s about winning souls to Christ, and that’s what’s important, right? So the world around us doesn’t matter, because this is all going to burn like in Revelation anyway.”

“I think one of the benefits of growing up with a sibling is having a witness. It’s nice to have someone to cross-reference your childhood with.”
