“…They [preachers] were always pointing out how great the specific church was. The bulletin read like a brochure from Amway. They were always saying how life-changing some conference was going to be. Life-changing? What does that mean? It sounded very suspicious. I wish they would just tell it to me straight rather than trying to sell me on everything. I felt like I got bombarded with commercials all week and then went to church and got even more.”

“I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me.”
