From The Week (Issue 384)

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. — Philip K. Dick

From Numbers

I surrendered all my dreams of conquest when I realized all I’d have to show for it was...the world. — Larry Flineheart

From the book "The irresistible Revolution"

Peter confronts [Ananias and Sapphira] in a way that seems quite rude (not very seeker sensitive), and then on top of it God strikes them dead (not very tolerant or inclusive). Perhaps we should be thankful that God isn't into that anymore, otherwise we'd have much smaller congregations. — Shane Claiborne
