In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.
Jacques EllulChristians were never meant to be normal. Weโve always been holy troublemakers, weโve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension thatโs incompatible with the status quo; we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that God wants it to be. And the Kingdom of God is different from the patterns of this world.
Jacques EllulWhen there is propaganda, we are no longer able to evaluate certain questions, or even to discuss them
Jacques EllulTechnological society leads to increasing numbers of people who cannot adapt to the inhuman rhythm of modern life with its emphasis on specialization. A class of people is growing up who are unexploitable because they are not worth employing even for the minimum wage. Technological progress makes whole categories of people useless without making it possible to support them with the wealth produced by the progress.
