From my twitter feed:

American Christianity is mostly complicated theories for rejecting pretty much everything Jesus ever said while calling yourself a Christian. — Rebecca Trotter

Sometimes we need complex theories to interpret the Bible and sometimes they are just a dodge. The problem is that while it’s easy to see when someone else is misusing a complicated theory to reject pretty much everything Jesus said, it’s hard for us to see when we’re doing it. May God grant us both discernment and mercy.
