Ghost light

We’ve closed our theatres—a silence rules.

we double check to see our doors are locked.

Elizabethans closed their theatres

In his hands, the Bible was a living, aching, burning thing.

By egregiously misreading Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s moral crisis, it primes viewers for violence.

The Bible employs many merisms, in which two contrasting words stand in for a whole spectrum. “Male and female” is one of them.

Lately I’ve been feeling the same emotions I felt when I deconstructed my evangelical faith.
