To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of #reason, and whose #philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an #atheist by #scripture.
—Thomas Paine
“Told again and again that they are the dominant sex, created to rule over and have dominion over not just women but the earth, the land, its animals, and all things on earth—it's often a rude awakening for young, white Christian men when they enter the world and find that most created things are not interested in being ruled over by them.”
~ Ibid., p. 48

“The late twentieth century was rife with white, male Christian leaders who wanted to capitalize (and make money) off of the idea that men, in the image of a manly God, were created to be angry, violent and in control."
~ Ibid., pp. 44-5

(continued from /5):
"On first read, maybe you'd think that means we're taught that we look like God. But ‘no one has ever seen God,’ so when you learn that you're created in God's image—as most young, white Christian boys and men have learned—then it makes sense that you think, ‘God must look like me.’”
~ Ibid., quoting John 1:18

“Many white American Christians are pretty sure they know what God looks like. Most of us won't really say it explicitly, of course: that would invite critique and the possibility that one of our most closely held but unexamined truths could be exposed as false. But most of us heard growing up that we were created in God's image."
~ Ibid., p 43

My favorite scripture, and qualities worth celebrating:
"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." -Galatians 5:22-2
