The opposite of Christianity is not atheism, but idolatry.

Thus moral theology leads us four steps deeper than law. To fulfill the moral law, we need love. To get love, we need union with God. To get union with God, we need the new birth. And to get the new birth, we need faith.

If you didn't believe in objective truth, arguments would be just toys, or games, or jokes.

When we believe that God is something other than a lover, it is inevitable that we will sin.

We are all insane. That is what original sin means. Sin is insanity. It is preferring finite joy to infinite joy, creatures to the Creator, an unhappy, Godless self to a happy, God-filled self Only God can save us from this disease. That is what the name "Jesus" means: 'God saves'.

Saints have to be tough as well as tender because saints are like Christ, and Christ was the toughest and the tenderest man who ever lived.

Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, "I am." We are ontological oxymorons.
