@bronzeswords Marshall McLuhan was not a leftist. He was a right-wing postmodernist.

Rest In Peace, John Spong.

There is hardly a word in the religious language, both theological and popular, which is subject to more misunderstandings, distortions and questionable definitions than the word “faith.”

No self-acceptance is possible if one is not accepted in a person-to-person relation.

@TillichTrouble Today is the real Paul Tillich's 133rd birthday. A day when we all more than ever need the "Courage to Be."

Love is the ultimate principle for social ethics.

“The law demands, but cannot forgive. It judges, but cannot accept.”

Jesus loved children.
Blessed children.
Healed children.
Identified with children.
Highlighted their attributes.
Warned us not to hurt them.
And called them the owners of the Kingdom.

The way America is treating immigrant children is not the way of Christ.

Stop, in Jesus name.

[Paul Tillich @TillichTrouble]

Nothing truly real is forgotten eternally, because everything real comes from eternity and goes to eternity.

[Paul Tillich @TillichTrouble]

“You are accepted, accepted by that which is greater than you... Simply accept the fact that you are accepted!”
-Paul Tillich

[Paul Tillich @TillichTrouble]

“In the depth of every serious doubt and every despair of truth, the passion for truth is still at work.”
-Paul Tillich

Friend: I think I would make a bad priest because I essentially refer to “God” the way atheists refer to the universe.

Me: You should read Paul Tillich. And there is most certainly a place for you as clergy if you hold that idea.

Listen to me: I have privilege and resources. If any of these bans go into effect in these states, contact me. I will either drive you across state lines, coordinate someone else to, and/ or pay for your abortion.

I am 1,000% serious.

[Jonathan Merritt @JonathanMerritt]

Devastated by the passing of my friend @rachelheldevans’. I’m stunned, angry, confused. These are the kind of moments that try my faith. She was one of the bravest people I have known. A joy to be around. Unbelievably gracious and generous. God, be near to Dan and her family.

[Paul Tillich @TillichTrouble]

Cruelty towards others is always also cruelty towards ourselves.

[Paul Tillich @TillichTrouble]

This is extremely saddening.
The Notre Dame Cathedral is in flames.

It is an icon of grandeur and beauty that has persevered since the dark ages.
