Marcus J. Borg Quote
For some people, the central life issue is not sin and guilt, but bondage to or victimization by one Pharaoh or another. For them, what does the message of sin and forgiveness mean? Unfortunately, it often comes to mean You should forgive the person who is victimizing you, when what the victim needs to hear is It is not God's will that you be in bondage to that (or any) Pharaoh. Or if the central problem is alienation and meaninglessness, the message the person needs to hear is It is not God's will that you remain in Babylon, not God's will that you mourn in lonely exile there.
