C. J. McGregor on Religion and Society: "Hate theology deserves no place in religion"

C. J. McGregor is the minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palm Beaches. He penned a 'Point of View' that appeared in The Palm Beach Post on Monday, June 15th about an Arizona pastor that wants to "rip out the heart" and cast a "soul into Hell." Here are two excerpts from C. J. McGregor:

     The wisdom of scripture and the existence of a loving God have been mangled and misinterpreted for thousands of years. No matter your faith, surely we can agree on the ministry of the Christian Jesus, which encourages benevolent and generous relationships.
     Shouldn’t prayer be reserved for lament and thanksgiving, versus asking the divine to punish?

[and. . .]

It is our inability to separate politics and religion — and our gross misinterpretation of the world’s sacred texts — that reduces us to an uncompassionate, callous, ghastly theology.

Talking about the mangling and misinterpretation of scripture, were you aware that there is a war against God in the City of Lake Worth?
