An Early Christmas Present
While doing other, more important things, I simply have to post this for the 6 or so people who won't see it anywhere else:
"The central doctrine of Christianity, then, is not that God is a bastard. It is, in the words of the late Dominican theologian Herbert McCabe, that if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you."--Terry Eagleton
"You can't conceive, my child, nor I nor anyone, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God."--Graham Greene
“The opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice."--Bryan Stevenson

Then again, I'm not sure anything on the intertubes is ever "documented"....
