Quote of the Day

The very persons who talk most about being liberal in their views are generally the greatest persecutors. If I must have a religious enemy, let me have a professed and avowed bigot, but not one of your "free thinkers" or "broad churchmen" as they are called, for there is nobody who can hate as they do; and the lovers of liberal-mindedness who have no creed at all think it to be their special duty to be peculiarly contemptuous to those who have some degree of principle, and cannot twist and turn exactly as they can.

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.
