Brian McLaren Quotes

In An Age Of Religious Violence Like Ours, People Care Much Less About What You Believe, And Much More About Whether You Will Kill For What You Believe. So If You Haven't Figured Out What You're Going To Do With Passages Like Deuteronomy 7 And 1 Samuel 15 And Psalms 137:9, You Still Have Some Important Work To Do.3 If You Haven't Grappled With These Passages And Others Like Them, Your Bible Is Like A Loaded Gun And Your Theology Is Like A License To Kill. You Have To Find A Way To Disarm Your Faith As A Potential Instrument Of Hate And Convert It Into An Instrument Of Love.4 You Have To Convert Christianity From A Warrior Religion To A Reconciling Religion. Otherwise, Your Neighbors Around This Seminary Will Tolerate You The Way They Might Tolerate A Chemical Plant That Could At Any Moment Blow Up And Kill Them All.
