Rachel Held Evans:

For what makes the Church any different from a cult if it demands we sacrifice our conscience in exchange for unquestioned allegiance to authority?  What sort of God would call himself love and then ask that I betray everything I know in my bones to be love in order to worship him?  Did following Jesus mean becoming some shadow of myself, drained of empathy and compassion and revulsion to injustice?
