We #Christians read Jesus talking about having the faith of a mustard seed and telling a mountain to jump into the sea. Many skip over this as supernatural platitude, and forget that this, too, may be a teaching in parable.

Move, mountain of hate!
Move, mountain of fear!
Move, mountain of injustice!
Move, mountain of oppressive sin!
Move, mountain of terror, intimidation, bigotry, and torment.
Move, mountain of convulsing hopelessness.

Move!

@jovial_cynic Thanks for sharing this. It's a helpful perspective.

I immediately think of my favorite biblical prayer, "I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). I don't think I have mountain-moving faith. But then I remember a key point of faith: it's not about what we have on our own.
