Raising Children into Adults

God wants us to grow up into mature Christian adults who stand on their own two feet. The Church wants us to stay children dependent on it and under its thumb. Christianity, to the Church, is a trivial child’s game. The Church gives us crayons and a coloring book whose drawings are divided into parts and numbered. It admonishes us to follow the numbers, to color within the lines or go to hell.

Christianity is so much richer than the Christianity advocated and practiced by coloring book Christians.
