“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
— Author Anne Lamott, cited here.
“It is a challenge to look past our own comfortable and self-righteous sense that God thinks just as we do, and to let the Word dwell within us, shake us, unsettle us until it has reformed us-re-formed-in the image of God; holy as he is holy, perfect as he is perfect.”
— Elizabeth Scalia, from a reader in the same post.
