Episode Synopsis
Scripture & QuotationsJohn 1:1-5Mark 10:17-27Christians are usually sincere and well-intentioned people until you get to any real issues of ego, control, power, money, pleasure, and security. Then they tend to be pretty much like everyone else.-Richard Rohr, Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve StepsIf even the most authoritative teaching, the most sacred text, leads to dehumanization, to humiliation, to harm, then we must reject it. The Bible itself shows us how to do this… [The rabbis] worked to align the text with their moral understanding. And in doing so, they give us permission - no, an obligation, to do the same… Our role in reading sacred scripture is to ask two questions: “What does the text say?” and “Who may be harmed by this text.”-Elie Wiesel, quoted in “Witness” by Ariel Burger
