"I am sick of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of calves.  I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats...

When you stretch out your hands I turn my eyes away.  You may multiply your prayers, I shall not be listening...

Learn to do good.  Search for justice.  Discipline the violent.  Be just to the orphan.  Plead for the widow."  (Isa. 1: 11, 15, 17)

You know nothing of God if you don't work towards justice in this world.
