In the pew hate and jealousy can rise to the surface like grease in a pot full of dish water. Once a poisonous atmosphere takes hold and the church ceases to do what it was erected for, to spread a message of love, respect and tolerance, then abolition is indeed order. James Baldwin, a prophetic writer and once a boy preacher, asserts the dismissal of the God who allows this is indeed order, “If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.”
