“First, you’re going to have to stop using food for anything other than nutrition. You cannot continue to use food to celebrate, or as a companion, or for entertainment, or comfort. You cannot medicate yourself, your mood, or pain with food.”

“These religious types were the fans that Jesus seems to have the most trouble with. Fans who will walk into a restaurant and bow their heads to pray before a meal just in case someone is watching. Fans who won’t go to R-rated movies at the theater, but have a number of them saved on their DVR at home. Fans who may feed the hungry and help the needy, and then they make sure they work it into every conversation for the next two weeks. Fans who make sure people see them put in their offering at church, but they haven’t considered reaching out to their neighbor who lost a job and can’t pay the bills. Fans who like seeing other people fail because in their minds it makes them look better. Fans whose primary concern in raising their children is what other people think. Fans who are reading this and assuming I’m describing someone else. Fans who have worn the mask for so long they have fooled even themselves.”

“We have always liked to think ourselves less savage than the other animal s . To say that people are " h umane" is to say that they are kind; to say that they are "be.!stly," "brutal," or simply that they behave "like animals" is to suggest that they are cruel and nasty. W� rarely stop to consider that the animal who kills with the least reason to do so is the human a n il!'a l . We think of lions a n d wolves as savage because they kill; ·but they must kill, or starve. Humans kill other animals for sport, to satisfy their cu riosity, to bea u t i fy their bodies, and to please their palates. Huma n beings also kill members of their own species for greed or power. Moreover, human beings are not content with mere killing. Throughout history they have shown a tendency to tor ment and torture both their fellow human beings and their fellow animals before putting them to death. No other animal shows much interest in doing this.”
