Quote of the Day

The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis tell of an older demon, Screwtape, writing to a younger demon,  Wormwood, about how to be effective in spiritually ruining people.  In his first letter Screwtape said, 'Your man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to have a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head.  He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily 'true' or 'false,' but as 'academic' or 'practical.' Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Demons know that true science and reason will not contribute to their cause, which is deception.  Speculations, not facts, must fill men's minds.  All 'good' demons will use that strategy because it obscures biblical truth by focusing on temporal concerns.
