An understanding with Dietrich

"I detect that a rebellion against all things 'religious' is growing in me. Often it amounts to an instinctive horror - which is certainly not good. I'm not religious by nature. But I have to think continually of God and Christ; authenticity, life, freedom, and mercy mean a great deal to me. It is just their religious manifestations which are so unattractive. Do you undestand?"

Some personal thoughts of Dietrich Bonhoeffer... a rebellion I seem to share.
