Ah. With a Kindle one can read several books at the same time. I was comparing clippings from Love Wins and from a book I just started, Insurrection. They present similar thoughts and I agree. This is what religion is all about.
From Love Wins
Religions should not surprise us. We crave meaning and order and explanation. We’re desperate for connection with something or somebody greater than ourselves. This is not new.
And something similar from Peter Rollins' Insurrection
This story presents to us the psychological reality that our pleasure is intimately interwoven with the pleasure (or pain) of those around us. Understanding this can help us unlock something fundamental about the nature of human desire—namely, that the most sought after material in the universe is not some precious metal or limited resource but rather the attention of those whom we desire. We long to be seen by the other and acknowledged by them in some way.
