"Though there are times when God's commandments seem mysterious to us, God is not an arbitrary tyrant who makes capricious demands to test our devotion. God does not set up meaningless hoops for us to jump through. God has loving created and fashioned us in God's own image, and the reason God provides us guidance in the form of commandments and divine wisdom is because God loves us deeply and wants our lives to flourish. God gives us the commandments for our good."
- The Bible's Yes to Same-Sex Marriage, Mark Achtemeier (Westminster John Knox Press)
