To adapt a phrase, idols have consequences.

In many churches, the message of justification- how to get right with God- is preached over and over again. But much less is said about sanctification- how to live after you're converted.

The Rosetta Stone of Christian social thought is the Trinity.

The most consistent versions of materialism deny the reality of anything beyond matter - no soul, no spirit, no will, no mind. This is called reductionism: Humans are reduced to biochemical machines.

Morality is always derivative. It stems from one's worldview.

A merely symbolic religion does not threaten the ruling regime of materialistic science.

A part is always too limited to explain the whole. You might picture a worldview as trying to stuff the entire universe into a box. Invariably, something will stick out of the box. Its categories are too "small" to explain the world.
