Broken V. bent

Eugene Peterson spoke in a Mars Hill Audio interview about wanting to get rid of mechanistic language for God and humans. I think he is right. Words such as "broken" and "dysfunctional" don't really honor or provide justice to a person. They bring me to a place of manipulating in order to get a desired result. This is far from how I've experienced God interacting with me. In Out of the Silent Planet C.S. Lewis uses the word "bent" to describe men who are influenced by evil. That appeals to me.

Just rambling now...
