The key spiritual question is and has always been, “What do we love?” What we love we serve; what we serve we become. So we must carefully cultivate a love of what is good, in all things. To rejoice in the killing of Osama bin Laden may seem entirely innocent, but it teaches us to take delight in violence. It inclines our hearts to love what is unworthy. It puts us on a wrong path. What we love, we serve; what we serve, we become. To take pleasure in violence is to serve violence; to serve it is to become it.
-Rev. Anthony David
