Quotes

He whose will and desire in conversation is to establish his own opinion, even though what he says is true, should recognize that he is sick with the devil's disease. And if he behaves like this only in conversation with his equals, then perhaps the rebuke of his superiors may heal him. But if he acts in this way even with those who are greater and wiser than he, then his malady is humanly incurable. — The Ladder of Divine Ascent by Saint John Climacus Step 4, paragraph 48.

Quarrelling with people about what Christianity is is a mistake, for with very few exceptions their tactics aim at warding off understanding or learning what Christianity is, because they suspect that it is rather easy to grasp, but also that it would interfere with their lives. — Soren Kierkegaard

About Me

I'm a network administrator, but my biggest Wikipedia interest is the articles concerning Christianity and its various expressions.

Open disclosure: counting childhood and adulthood both, my own journey has included non-denominational, Lutheran, Assemblies of God, United Methodist, Free Methodist, and Mennonite churches. A few years ago our family joined the Eastern Orthodox Church, and we are now part of the Orthodox Church in America. Naturally, I do my best to present things as neutrally as possible, aiming for historical accuracy and integrity.

Aside from those, my personal pet peeve is Wikipedia articles that use sentence fragments instead of complete sentences. So I enjoy hunting for those, and picking whatever other nits I can find.
