Bluntness Quotes

• Este es un tipo,
  Que habiendo sido alabado por su franqueza, afecta
  Una rudeza descarada y constriñe el atuendo
  Muy fuera de su naturaleza: ¡no puede adular!
  De mente honesta y llana, ¡debe decir la verdad!
  Y asi lo tomaran; si no, es llano.
  Esta clase de bribones conozco, que en esta llaneza
  albergan más astucia y fines mucho más corruptos,
  que veinte observadores tontos y agachados,
  Que extienden su deber amablemente.

• In The Lost Message of Jesus I claim that penal substitution is tantamount to 'child abuse - a vengeful Father punishing his Son for an offence he has not even committed.' Though the sheer bluntness of this imagery (not original to me of course) might shock some, in truth, it is only a stark 'unmasking' of the violent, pre-Christian thinking behind such a theology.

Her eyes sparkled, amused. “You’re blushing, Jason. That’s cute.
