God will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist’s shop.
C.S. Lewis
In a society where convenience is worshiped, God becomes a tool to justify employing odious means toward loathsome ends. Sanctifying cowardice, hallowing hatred, glorifying violence; all are easily accepted underneath the shroud of a deity designed to serve the depravity of human desire. When Faith becomes subservient to sin, the best intentions lead ultimately to the stygian depths, and those who follow find themselves perdition bound. Let us ensure the path we follow is guided by love, humility and courage lest we make a righteous wrong turn.
