“A world without right or wrong was a world that did not want itself, anything other than itself, or anything not those two things, but that still wanted something. A world without right or wrong invited you over, complained about you, and gave you cookies. Don't leave, it said, and gave you a vegan cookie.

As you sort through your dogma and doctrine, youâ€™ve found yourself praying less, less thrilled about worship, scripture, or church attendance. Youâ€™ve been so focused on sorting and purging your theological theories that youâ€™ve lost track of the spiritual practices that sustain an actual relationship with God. You may even wonder if such a thing is possible for someone like you.”
