“Today, I no longer try to be good; instead, I am only concerned with doing God’s bidding. What He commands, I do. Now my personal life is more conformed to His righteousness and character than it used to be. Following His commands does not leave much time for sin.”

“Why does socialist central planning not work? The means of production are not held privately, so there cannot be any exchange markets for them and therefore no exchange ratios established. That means there is no way to calculate profit and loss. Without profit and loss, there is no way to assess the tradeoffs associated with alternative uses of resources.”

“Jesus of Nazareth was a real man, living and dying at a turbulent moment in real space-time history. His message, and the message about him that the early Christians called good news, was not about how to escape that world. It was about how the one true God was changing it, radically and forever.”

“If that’s all that reading this book does for you – causes you to ask the hard questions –then it’ll have done its job. So long as we remain stuck in an apathetic certainty we’ll continue to stagnate. Some people are only one or two questions away from freedom, and had I been willing to think for myself and poke holes in the “holy”, I may have not spent so many years in a religious fog.”
