If we could be freed from our aversion to loss, our whole outlook on risk would change.

But the standard churchy spirituality doesn't require any real action, courage, or sacrifice from its attendees.

Many church folk, in their self-conscious attempt to be overtly morally upright, emit all the wrong signals, thus messing with people's perception of the gospel.
