Today's Message

We have to develop a relationship with ourselves as we grow up, but religion relies on self-infantilization - on instigating and reinforcing the deliberate insistence that we must refuse to be the adult in that relationship.

This is the first time I've ever heard a preacher articulate that.

The function of the Christ is not to rescue the sinners, but to empower you, and to call you to be more deeply and fully human than you've ever realized there was the potential within you to be.

Maybe salvation needs to be conveyed in terms of enhancing your humanity rather than rescuing you from it.
