Outside the Pigeon Holes

I haven't been reading a whole lot of theological books lately. Frankly, I'm kind of done right now with the whole thing. Not with Jesus, but with all the baggage. I'm worn out by the more evangelical stuff. Yet, with a few refreshing exceptions, people like myself who have endured a painful desconstruction, seem to go so far to the opposite extreme that it simply becomes the flip side of the same coin. There's no place for any previously held  practices or language at all. Science is now the almighty - not a way to understand the world created by an intelligent being. Shame on you if you refer to God as 'he' or wish someone a 'blessed day'. Worse it sometimes goes toward a politico-religious arena wherein unless your deconstruction has brought you to hard left activism then you clearly haven't fully evolved. I took a chance with this book because it seemed as though this author found a way to retain a connection to the concepts of God and Creation
