Timothy KellerIf your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.
Timothy KellerTo stay away from Christianity because part of the Bibleโs teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldnโt have any views that upset you.

In any truly personal relationship, the other person has to be able to contradict you.
