”So what are we supposed to do with our lives, then?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s enough to live as though life were for real, not just a metaphor or a trial run in which we are only killing time before the headliner of Heaven comes on stage. Imagine all of the evangelicals deciding that life was worth actually embracing, not just cramming into Jell-O moulds so they’d come out shaped like every other Promise Keeper with a ten percent tithe and a minivan to pull into their vinyl-clad house every night, while most of the world shivers in the dark, muttering confused curses of betrayal about Americans and the God they sold to the whole village. Imagine if being a Christian were about life, and not about mastering the formula for Christian living. And why, by the way, is there a difference between living and Christian living?” Pg. 209
