“Christianity is a lifestyle — a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, and loving. However, we made it into a clever ‘religion,’ in order to avoid the lifestyle itself. One could be warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and vain, and still believe that Jesus is their ‘personal Lord and Savior.’ The world has no time for such silliness anymore. The suffering on Earth is too great.”- Richard Rohr
I don’t know that I’ve read such a cogent and concise analysis of the ills besetting Christiandom in decades — thanks to my dear Caroline for posting it on her Facebook!
