Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing.

The purity of man is the absence of something, the purity of Jesus is the presence of something.

The laughter in response to my question unmasked the double standard our deconstructionists espouse. And that is precisely the double standard of atheism!

The visual can seduce you, leading to false deductions, and ultimately, even the finest ideas can be reduced. Take for example, sexuality.
