Honestly, connecting once at the deepest level with someone, you know, once you've done that, even if your life goes to hell, man, it was really worth living.

What the Gospels actually said was: don't kill anyone until you are absolutely sure they aren't well connected.

God is bigger than the Christian faith.

It is significant that people who refuse to tell their children fairytales do not fear that the children will believe in princes and princesses, but that they will believe in witches and bogeys.
