"Two things that can really shatter binaries in general are sin and grace. There's no sin that's worse than the other, there's no, like worst sinner or like a good sinner or whatever, that just doesn't exist. Sin is sin. So that's not a binary in and of itself. But there's also grace, which doesn't discriminate. And you know, while grace can be bestowed upon, like a little kid who maybe has just fibbed to their parents, it can also be bestowed upon, like a serial murderer...because Christ died for everyone. That's not something we like to think about, because it's uncomfortable. We don't like to think about Jesus embracing everyone, as much as we say that, but that's what God does."
