The Cost of Discipleship

"I didn't go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don't recommend Christianity."

- C.S. Lewis

"If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshiping an idealized version of yourself."

“You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
- Anne Lamott
