Biblical scholarship blew my mind.
The Christian faith is messy + complex. Wrestling with scripture is ancient — and it’s allowed. You owe it to yourself to wrestle with it. The Sacred Slope is here to help you.

He literally says we are “killing all the right people” and celebrates that we have “run out of bombs.”
All the while pretending to be Christian.
Rebuke it in the name of Jesus - the Prince of Peace who blesses the poor and the peacemakers… not the millionaires and the warmongers.

It is not only okay, I think it's even important to question our faith, question God, question everything. Because if we don't do that, the faith is blind.
I think it's a part of growing as a person...to ask these questions.
