“Christianity was not meant to be a weapon or an argument or a show of force or a political tool. Or an act of aggression or coercion. It was never meant to be a cause or a prop for a cause.

If someone forces you to choose between God is holy and God is love choose God is love because holiness without love translates into tyranny.”
