Some day that disturbed little girl is going to stand up in front a congregation and tell them abortion and gay sex is just fine and dandy with God.

Yep, she'll say that Mamagod will just enfold us in her consoling breasts. Can't call those behaviors sin, or require redemption, because making the child of Mamagod suffer would be "divine child abuse".

Yes, the most radical elements of the ELCA Full Communion partner United Church of Christ have used that exact phrase.

“Yep, she’ll say that Mamagod will just enfold us in her consoling breasts. Can’t call those behaviors sin, or require redemption, because making the child of Mamagod suffer would be “divine child abuse”.”

Now here’s a thought for you Lutheran theologians. Why does the concept of a God “enfold[ing] us in her consoling breasts.” necessarily mean that sin and repentance go out the window? I am not laying any importance on the “female” aspects of the comment.
