“This is what matters, how what you believe affects your life and the lives of others… Beliefs can be a powerful force in a person’s life once they are embraced. They can determine life or death. This is what makes beliefs both important and at the same time dangerous. They have the power to influence people for good and for bad. That is why they should never be set in stone, go unexamined, or be accepted uncritically.”
–Jan Linn, Unbinding Christianity, p. 77
