"All Right, Then, I'll Go To Hell."

Some days--and these are very, very few--I wish I could Tweet.

If I could Tweet I'd Tweet Rachel Held Evan's post today--"All right, then, I'll go to hell."

My hunch is that a lot of you follow both our blogs and you've already read Rachel's post, but if you haven't it's an awesome piece. The center of the post are Huck's moral reflections about Jim, but this part of Rachel's post...

I often think about Huck’s resolution when I am told by religious leaders that “the Bible is clear” on this or that, and that I’ve got to stop listening to those gut feelings that tell me maybe we’ve gotten a few things wrong, that maybe there’s more to the story than we’re ready to see.

“Your feelings don’t matter,” they say.

“Your feelings cannot be trusted,” they say.

“Once you start listening to your feelings, over and beyond the plain meaning of Scripture, it’s a slippery slope to hell,” they say.

 ...reminded me of my post last week about Orthodox Alexithymia.

Here's praying that we all follow Huck and think up something worse to do.
