The only clear line I draw these days is this: when my religion tries to come between me and my neighbor, I will choose my neighbor...Jesus never commanded me to love my religion.
-- Barbara Brown Taylor
So, who is my neighbor?
Yes, that question can be used to avoid something. But, it is actually a good question, if we mean it. If I mean it. Otherwise, it is just theoretical and doesn't impact much of anything—which can certainly be the case with things...like religion.
Will I choose my neighbor? If so, I have to ask the question.
