“All too often, the Christian industrial project reminds me less of a religion and more of the tobacco, fossil fuel, and weapons industries: willing to harm millions to keep their business going.3”

“Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war

The battle's won, but the child is lost”
― Steven Moffat

― Michael Shermer, The Moral Arc: How Science and Reason Lead Humanity Toward Truth, Justice, and Freedom

“Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they`ve known for a great unknown beyond the horizon? Why climb this Mount Everest of formalities that makes you feel like a beggar? Why enter this jungle of foreignness where everything is new, strange and difficult? –The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life.”
