“I want neither a terrorist spirituality that keeps me in a perpetual state of fright about being in right relationship with my heavenly Father nor a sappy spirituality that portrays God as such a benign teddy bear that there is no aberrant behavior or desire of mine that he will not condone.

And the goal is always union with the divine.” ~Richard Rohr
“The people who know God well, mystics, hermits, prayerful people, those who risk everything to find God, always meet a lover, not a dictator.” ~Richard Rohr
