‘Why don’t you change these stones into bread. Because if you change these stones into bread the whole world will follow you.’

Satan makes a fallacious assumption. The fallacious assumption he makes is that if God would be our constant miracle maker materially, and satisfy all our intellectual needs, the whole world would turn and follow him. Time and Time again in history we learn that some of the most vile indecencies and criminal acts have not come from men and women whose stomachs were empty, but men and women whose stomachs were full. Learning and understanding, does not amount to goodness. See: Germany and the Holocaust.

‘For several decades we psychologists have looked upon the whole matter of sin and moral accountability as a great incubus, and acclaimed our liberation from sin as epoch making, but at length have discovered that to be free from sin- that is to have the excuse of being sick, rather than sinful- is to court the danger of also becoming lost. This danger, I believe, is betoken by the wide spread interest in existentialism which we are presently witnessing. In becoming amoral, ethically neutral and free, we have cut the very roots of our being, lost our deepest sense of selfhood and identity, and with, neurotics themselves, find ourselves asking who am I, what is my deepest destiny, and what does living really mean.’
