"We are an odd race capable of both
martyrdom and
murder, poetry and rape, worship and abortion. And Christianity explains why: we are both the
Spirit-breathed children of God and the
expelled rebels of the kingdom. In the ways that matter most, we're all from the Garden of Eden. We've all listened to the snake. Yet we're also children of the Father. We are far
worse than we would ever on our own admit and loved by God more
deeply than we would ever dare to dream. We are both worthless and priceless, terrorist and saints, lost and homeward bound."
