Faith without reason produces a mindless Christianity which is less than useless; the focus on justice in this world produces a theology that chases its own tail." ~R. Alan Woods [2013] ↗

'Let your yes be yes and your no be no for anything other than that is evil' NT (passim). This quote is not an adequate argument for 'anti-intellectualism' or the position that Reason & Faith are antithetical ". ~R. Alan Woods [2012] ↗

There exits within the ecclesia and among its citizens a phenomena I refer to as 'Spiritual Correctness'. Essentially it says: 'Don't say anything that could offend anyone, focus on what is right with the 'church' and its leadership, don't be critical, speak the truth in 'love', promote the status quo, don't make 'waves', don't call anyone 'out', respect 'authority', don't expose 'wrong-doing', cover those who 'spiritually abuse' others, keep it 'secret' within our family; don't ask any hard questions. Sounds exactly like the textbook definition of a highly dysfunctional family system. The only 'system' and its enablers that Jesus spoke out against vehemently was the religious system of His day and its leadership." ~R. Alan Woods [2013] ↗

Woods are grim places. Farmers shoot squirrels, crows, magpies, and hang them up on trees to warn Mother Nature to get it together or else. Much notice she takes, being in league with God. They're a right pair, more carnage than the rest of us put together. ↗
