Dave Barnhart
“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.”
Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they find to laugh at.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Elective Affinities

Harold S. Kushner
“Events do not reflect God's choices. They happen at random, and randomness is another name for chaos… And chaos is evil; not wrong, not malevolent, but evil nonetheless.”
Harold S. Kushner, When Bad Things Happen to Good People

“Truth without compassion is brutality.”
Shanti Fader

Horace Annesley Vachell
“In nature there are no rewards or punishments: there are consequences.”
Horace Annesley Vachell, The Face of Clay: An Interpretation
