But trust me when I tell you that the zebra is real. Somewhere, the zebra is dancing.”

    Nadia Bolz-Weber
    “The image of God I was raised with was this: God is an angry bastard with a killer surveillance system who had to send his little boy (and he only had one) to suffer and die because I was bad. But the good news was that if I believed this story and then tried really hard to be good, when I died I would go to heaven, where I would live in a golden gated community with God and all the other people who believed and did the same things as I did.....this type of thinking portrays God as just as mean and selfish as we are, which feels like it has a lot more to do with our own greed and spite than it has to do with God.”
    Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint
