It tends to be transactional and propositional rather than relational and mysterious. You don’t have to trust Person, or care for Person.
It becomes an exercise in self-gratification that ultimately dehumanizes the self and the community of humanity in order to avoid the painful processes of humbling and trusting.
Bad theology is not a victimless crime. It dehumanizes God and turns the wonder and the messy mystery of intimate relationship into a centerfold to be used and discarded.” (Richard Rohr)
