Quote for Sunday, June 1, 2014
If your understanding of the divine
made you kinder, more empathetic,
and impelled you to express sympathy
in concrete acts of loving-kindness,
this was good theology.
But if your notion of God made you
unkind, belligerent, cruel, of self-righteous,
or if it led you to kill in God's name,
it was bad theology.
~ Karen Armstrong
