“Told again and again that they are the dominant sex, created to rule over and have dominion over not just women but the earth, the land, its animals, and all things on earth—it's often a rude awakening for young, white Christian men when they enter the world and find that most created things are not interested in being ruled over by them.”

~ Ibid., p. 48

(continued from /5):

"On first read, maybe you'd think that means we're taught that we look like God. But ‘no one has ever seen God,’ so when you learn that you're created in God's image—as most young, white Christian boys and men have learned—then it makes sense that you think, ‘God must look like me.’”

~ Ibid., quoting John 1:18

“Many white American Christians are pretty sure they know what God looks like. Most of us won't really say it explicitly, of course: that would invite critique and the possibility that one of our most closely held but unexamined truths could be exposed as false. But most of us heard growing up that we were created in God's image."

~ Ibid., p 43

My favorite scripture, and qualities worth celebrating:

"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." -Galatians 5:22-2

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

- Micah 6:8

Selfishness, arrogance, and cruelty are of sin and brokenness, not God. It's as important as ever to understand the difference between what people do, and what God says. Thankfully, God provides everything we need to be able to turn to Him and his wisdom and away from the "wisdom" of the world.

Please help me descend to the depths of nerdery. At least Biblical nerdery. I'm writing a translation of the Bible and trying to crowdfund this to make it my job for the next few years to translate the Bible.

I think we can all agree that among biblical translators there are far too few furry, nonbinary, tabletop gamers and far too much bias.

This translation will be released for free under a CC-BY 4.0 license when it is finished. (It's not like Zondervan or Nelson is going to be interested in an *unbiased* translation anyway.) You can use it for sermons or bible studies without limit, fill it with notes, share it with friends, or even change the parts you don't like. It's yours, do whatever you want with it.
