In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.
Richard RohrWe are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.
Richard RohrChristianity is a lifestyle - a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, and loving. However, we made it into an established "religion" (and all that goes with that) and avoided the lifestyle change itself. One could be warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and vain in most of Christian history, and still believe that Jesus is one's "personal Lord and Savior" . . . The world has no time for such silliness anymore. The suffering on Earth is too great.
Richard RohrJesus did not come to change the mind of God about humanity; Jesus came to change the mind of humanity about God
