“I think that God that we have created and allowed to shape our culture through, essentially Christian theology is a pretty villainous creature. I think that one of the things that male patriarchal figure has done is, allowed under it's, his church, his wing, all kinds of corruptions and villainies to grow and fester. In the name of that God terrible wars have been waged, in the name of that God terrible sexism has been allowed to spread. There are children being born all across this world that don't have enough food to eat because that God, at least his church, tells the mothers and fathers that they must procreate at all costs, and to prevent procreation with a condom is in contravention with his laws. Now, I don't believe that God exists. I think that God is creation of men, by men, and for men. What has happened over the many centuries now, the better part of two thousand in fact, is that that God has been slowly and steadily accruing power. His church has been accruing power, and the men who run that church, and they are all men, are not about to give it up. If they give it up, they give up luxury, they give up comfort.”

“You get healthy by playing sports, not by screaming at the television. Likewise, you become divine by practicing religion, not by yelling scripture. And how do you practice religion? By loving your neighbor, instead of asking for some identification to authenticate that they are white, straight and catholic americans.”

“Israel worshipped a God who could grow angry, who changed his mind, a God involved in history, who cared so much about one group of people that their apostasies drove him to fits of impatience. The greatest philosophers of Greece spoke of an unchanging divine principle, far removed from our world, without emotion, unaffected by anything beyond itself. Improbably enough, Christian theology came to identify these two as the same God; this may be the single most remarkable thing to have happened in Western intellectual history.”

“With regard to the gospels, biblical scholarship has mixed-up theology with history, thereby turning the eschatology of the epistles into memoirs.”

“When we start to investigate in greater detail why someone is really angry, we begin to see why this person is truly sad. The same thing that has made you sad, provoked your anger. The more we think about this, the easier it is to see that anger is nothing more than another way of expressing the sadness on the inside.”

“Perhaps the most serious error of Allberry's use of the phrase 'same-sex attracted' is that it is without biblical precedent. Homosexuality in Scripture is never once merely described as a 'temptation' nor are homosexual feelings ever discussed without a link to homosexual conduct. Allberry may find such concepts elsewhere in the realm of psychology but they are alien to Christian theology.”

“Christian theology . . . envisions creaturely existence in terms of depth, ever-deepening—involving, revolving, evolving—participation in the divine life as the consummation of creaturely longing.”

“Truth doesn't sell, lies do, complexity does. But here's the thing. Lies sell in the guise of higher truth. That's why "love thy neighbor" is not a simple way of life, but an entire messed up institutionalized indoctrinating religion. Because if you forget all those frivolous dogmas, doctrines and stories, and simply embrace love thy neighbor as the supreme way of life, religious leaders won't have anything to sell you, and when they have nothing to sell you, they won't have any control over you.”

“The "greatest" commandment teaches us to love the Lord our God with all our minds, too (Matt. 22:37) – to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5).”

“What's the first commandment - a fundamentalist preacher once yelled at me with utter condescension! I replied quite instinctively - love thy neighbor. He laughed in ridicule and said - if you had actually studied the bible, you'd know, the first commandment is, love thy God - love thy neighbor is the second.
I smiled and responded - and if you had paid any attention to my pal JC, you'd know - love comes first, nothing before that.”

“The Christ I Bear (Sonnet 1570)
The Christ I know was a colored arab,
who took a stand against intolerance.
The Christ I know is the antithesis
of christian nationalism.
Naturally he became object of hate crime,
he was the classic case of persecution.
Thus the mortal man died for nobody's sin,
but due to his own activist intention.
The Christ I know was a friend to love,
The Christ I know abhorred cruelty.
Yet you've made him a badge of horror,
justifying your most heinous atrocity.
The Christ I bear is a spirit of love,
no puny institution can contain him.
I am Christ, you are Christ,
when there is love, whole world is him.”
