Yesterday, I read Lissa Rankin’s article “Make Love, Not Burned Qurans” and started to reply to some of her questions: “Why must we let our faith divide us, rather than unite us? Why can’t you let me believe what I believe, I’ll let you believe what you believe, and we can love each other anyway? Why must we let religion, hatred, and fear get between us and the Divine? If God is love, where is the God in this church? And what are we to do about it?” As I got into my reply, however, I realized I had an entire post inside of me. Graciously, the Owning Pink editorial staff agreed to let me write a response.
