What it eventually became was paranoia. We lost track of the fact that to the pure all things are pure. Most everything has the potential to be a distraction, but that doesn't mean everything is a distraction. God just isn't that small. Not my God, anyway.

I still wonder if there are any verses that truly give a negative connotation to leaven.
