I Was Wrong About Faith
Faith, as many of us were taught to believe (pun intended), is my action. It’s my acceptance of something (namely Jesus). It’s my belief (in Jesus). Faith is always about me.
That seems like a lot of pressure for something that’s meant to be a gift.

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery.
Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

White House official Lindsey Halligan: "While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress ... we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress."
