Brian D. McLaren Quote

Imagine if organized religion organized billions of people and trillions of dollars to tackle the challenges that our economic and political systems are afraid or unwilling to tackle—a planet ravaged by unsustainable human behavior and an out-of-control consumptive economy, the growing gap between the rich minority and the poor majority, and the proliferation of weapons of all kinds—including weapons of mass destruction. Wow, people frequently say when I propose these possibilities. If they did that, I might become religious again. Some quickly add, But I won’t hold my breath. It’ll never happen.
