Agendas Quote by Brunonia Barry
“I'll pit my God against your god any day, I say to the Calvinists. It's not their god I'm praying to… The God I'm praying to is neither male nor female. My God is the one who exists apart from all of men's agendas, the God who takes you away when there is no possible place you can go.”
