I don't want to base my life on a symbol, " he said resolutely. "I want reality, and the Christian faith has always been rooted in reality. What's not rooted in reality is the faith of liberal scholars. They're the ones who are following a pipe dream, but Christianity is not a pipe dream. Gregory A. Boyd
About This Quote

In a previous chapter in this series, we explored the idea that the Christian faith is not a pipe dream. In this chapter, we'll consider something else: the fact that to many people who have never explored the Christian faith, Christianity is a pipe dream to begin with. For them, Christianity is a symbol. It's an ideal to aspire to, but not much more. The things that Christian faith will actually do in their life are not always clear.
